Pillager of Twilight?
Giving a groan at the fading headache, Ren kept his eyes closed as a familiar voice spoke above him.
"Hey…" giving an even louder groan, the Voice spoke much louder in response.
"Hey! Wake up!" opening his eyes to the all too familiar cell, Ren's eyes opened in alarm as he sat up, wincing as he held his head, he looked around the Cell as Ryuji stood over him in worry.
"You Alright?" looking to Ryuji who gave a worried look, Ren gave a weak smile.
"Yep, You?" seeing Ryuji sag in relief he spoke despite the known answer.
"Yeah, More or Less." Looking around the Cell himself, Ryuji spoke as Ren stood up.
"Looks like this ain't no Dream… ugh, what's going on?" moving to the cell bars, Ryuji leaned out to speak.
"Hey, Let us Outta here! I know there's someone out there!" watching Ryuji move about in concern, Ren went to speak as Ryuji muttered to himself.
"We need to-" before Ren could even finish, an all too familiar scream echoed with Ryuji backing away from the doors.
"T-The Hell was that just now?" moving to the bars once more, another, much louder scream reached the two.
"Whoa… Whoa, whoa, whoa. You've gotta be Shittin' me, right?" Flinchign as more sounds of torture echoed, Ryuji spoke.
"This shit isn't funny" moving to the bars to try and open them, Ren began looking for a makeshift lick pick upon finding the door held closed by a simple patch lock.
"Help me find a stick" seeing Ryuji move to look, the two found a piece of rusted steel before moving to the door, feeling hope as he began fiddling with the lock, Ryuji spoke as Ren heard footsteps.
"Huh, You hear that?" stepping back at shadows approaching, the lead one spoke.
"Be Glad that your punishment has been decided upon. You're charge is "Unlawful Entry". Thus you will be sentenced to death" stepping back, Ryuji spoke in growing horror.
"Say What!?" and that was followed by the most hated voice Ren could hear, the voice of a pedophile.
"No one's allowed to do as they please in my castle." Grabbing the bars in shock, Ryuji spoke.
"Wait, is that you Kamoshida?"
"I thought it was that annoying Knight, or a petty thief, but to think it'd be you, Sakamoto…" giving a smug smirk, the Shadow continued.
"it looks Like you haven't learned your lesson at all, huh?" turning to a glaring Ren, Kamoshida flinched as a mask formed on his face for a second before flickering away, hiding his fear, kamoshida continued.
"It seems you brought a friend this time… because you can't do anything for yourself" watching Ryuji bash the gate towards the Shadow, he gave a grin as Ryuji spoke.
"This ain't funny, You Asshole!" getting an angry look from kamoshida, the shadow spoke with disdain.
"Is that how you speak to a King. It seems you don't understand the position you're in at all. Not only did you sneak into my castle, you committed the crime another had done and had gotten away with, you insulted the me-The King. The punishment for that is Death" waving his right hand form his towel/cape? He spoke with a poor attempt of awe.
"It's time for an Execution! Take him Out!" watching Ryuji back away in fear, Ren tried to call forth Arsene, the link between them horrifically silent.
'Arsene…' feeling the mask form despite the silence, Ryuji failed to notice as Ren began panicking for a different reason as he tried to pry the mask off.
Backing away as the shadows entered the Cell, Ren called forth his Persona in desperation.
'ARSENE….!?'
Watching as Ryuji shoved a Knight to the ground, Ren stared at Ryuji who turned to him.
"I ain't down for this shit, we're outta here…?" seeing Ryuji stare at him with a frown, this was his mistake as he was knocked down once more, seeing this Ren scowled a she kicked one in the back, only to get backhanded.
"Just go. Get out of here. These guys are Serious!" hearing Ryuji grown, ren spoke in frustration a she tried to get the mask off.
"And leave you to die here to this Fucked up pedophile, hell no!" getting a growl from Kamoshida, Ryuji stared at Ren in surprise before they were held at knife/sword point as Kamoshida monologue, Ren chose to ignore this in favour of getting the mask off again before he felt a pulse go through his head.
'Arsene!?'
"Huh, seems you have a friend even after I ruined your reputation, if only that little shit fell for my taunts" turning to Ren as he tried to get rid of the mask, he scoffed before turning to Ryuji with an evil smile.
"I'll focus on this one's execution" following that was Kamoshida forcing ren to watch Ryuji get beaten by the bastard, with Ren scowling as he was held back by the throat, he gave a kick feebly.
Looking up as Ryuji was tossed to the ground, Ren felt a whisper in his mind as a throbbing began to form behind his eyes.
"Hmph. Where'd that Energy from earlier go. A peasant like you isn't worth beating" nodding to a knight , Kamoshida spoke giddily.
"I'll have you killed right now"
"Fight someone your own size you fuck!" getting the attention of the Shadow who gave a look of disinterest, the shadow approached.
"What. Don't tell me you don't know who I am?" glaring fiercely as the Shadow got close, Ren waited for the right moment as the shadow got in his face.
"That look in your eyes, remind me so much like his" moving to give a head but, Ren was grabbed and thrown into the wall by a shadow.
"Hold him there… after the Peasant, it's his turn to die" scowling as he tried to kick the bastard, ren felt the whispers grow louder.
Feeling his mind darken, Ren looked around before he felt a pain in his mind as a voice spoke, one not like Arsene's.
"Well now, this is a surprise, back again down memory lane..." feeling his mind throb in uncontrollable pain, Ren grunted in effort as he kicked and growled.
"Even in another life we're intertwined, But we'll get back to that later, for now we have a friend that needs help. You remember me, right. Joker?" looking up with amber eyes, Ren froze as a ghostly silhouette hovered before him, and this being was not Arsene.
In contrast to Arsène, who resembled a Victorian gentleman, This Persona had a more modern and steampunk-inspired design. Its most apparent distinctions were the mechanical wings made of leather and metal, with a shape akin to the wings of bats. Dressed in a vivid red jacket with golden trims, a white shirt paired with black-tie underneath and topped with a red fedora. It wears a black belt with a gold buckle, dark pants and thigh-high boots that are decorated with gold studs on the sides of its thighs. It wears white, fingerless gloves with gold-tipped claws at the end of its fingers. It is also equipped with long, bladed heels much like Arsène. Similarly, it had a demonic face with red eyes and held a cigarette in its jagged mouth resembling sharp teeth or fangs.
"Joker, Joker. You've forgotten about me already, I am Arsene but also not, with the reversal of Time you've been born anew, And so have I" flaring his mechanical wings, the Persona spoke with demented cheer.
"I am Arsène Raoul Lupin. Now, let us renew our contract. With the knowledge of our deeds, it's Time we flipped the table, AND RIG THE GAME OURSELVES!" releasing a pulse that sent the shadows holding him up flying, Kamoshida turned slowly in alarm, Ren was bathed in azure fire, the persona of Joker emerging once more with a grin.
Before he could move, the fire converged to his left, forming the being known as Raol, who gave a demented laugh of joy.
"I Am the Pillager of twilight, Arsene Raol Lupin!"
Pointing a clawed digit to Kamoshida who whimpered at the sight, Raol spoke eagerly.
"And we'll burn you're throne to the ground"
Taking a stance with a grin, Ren spoke with Roal flexing his claws.
"Let's Go, Raol!"
