Hello, this is the first time I have done something like this. I've always wanted to write and now I am. Please tell me how I can improve and I'll try my best.
Persona belongs to Atlus and Sega, the only characters I own are my own OCs. I also am loosely having the locations based on real locations. Thank you for reading this first time fic. I hope you enjoy.. :)
Prologue
Time: Unknown Place:Fujisaki fish market
The simple sounds of birds chattering and people talking makes the atmosphere of the fish market seem more lively then the past years. The calm and peaceful environment daring those nearby to slow down and soak up the relaxing tone. All so balance as an ear rupturing explosion rings out in the air. The source of that explosion leads down to a warehouse a block near the district. A sharp metallic carbon haired teen emerges from the smoke falling down after a failed attempt of looking "Cool".
"What the heck Ke-kun you could've been hurt" A feminine voice spoke frantically.
"I'd have to agree with Kizugawa-san, That was very reckless Abihara-san". A more controlled voice spoke in a way that felt hidden.
"Regardless of the consequences, that was the most optimal route in order to take away focus from the infiltration team, nonetheless, proceed to use more caution next time". This time a more monotone almost robotic voice spoke.
After shaking himself off of any ash and dirt that was layered after the blast the reckless teen mentioned as Abihara spoke "Jeez even when we all agreed on this I still get criticized for it".
"Yea Yea, just remember that you're the one who once again "blew" expectations away and made such a mess". A rougher older voice spoke out.
"J-ame senpai". A younger girlish voice this time.
"Enough banter, high readings coming towards you, prepare for conflict" A reserved but heavy command spoked out through the comms.
"On it"
"And whoever fails on their end has to deal with the Boss's questioning later" Abihara shivered as if death blew its frosty breath on him.
"Well shit, guess we can't fail now" The rough one spoked.
"I'd say after last time I needed to sleep with one eye open for weeks!" The younger girl spoke with an edge of fear.
"Well good luck everyone stay safe, we've done this before we can do it again!" Abihara said in an effort to not only change the subject but assure himself that he won't go through Boss's questioning look. How does someone so pure and safe looking also have the gaze of the void itself? He can not help but wonder.
"Mhmm, you too Ke-kun"
"Remember we rendezvous back at the entrance. Only after we secure our infiltration route"
"You bet, me and Shira-san will get those doors open ASAP hehe" A energetic voice spoke out.
"Correction, I will open the gate while you keep shadows away as that is the task assigned for your best interest"
"eh? Uh.."
"In other terms, it means you aren't smart enough Itsuka, which is totally accurate after your last test scores''. The feminine voice said with a bit of venom.
"Hey! I improved since last time" The energetic teen exclaimed.
"Sadly not enough".
As more banter spread throughout the comms, Abihara ran into a corner surrounded by policemen that were called into action. "Oh no, Abihara-san, you're surrounded!"
"Heh, not how I see it, come Misako"
In a flash of fiery blue a man dressed in typical Japanese garments warned by men during the Edo period, he wielded a katana and held an aura of expertise in using said blade. The police aforementioned violently turned into black goop and changed into otherworldly forms taking akin to fairs and demons.
"Two Pixies and an Incubus along with a Pyro Jack and Jack Frost. Piece of cake!"
Rushing into combat, the teen pulled out a pair of blades that form one and slashed the incubus while simultaneously cutting one of the pixies. "Misako, sukukaja!" with that a green energy surrounded the teen as he took off in a flash.
"You're not getting out of here alive child" The incubus spoke with certainty.
"Yeah, what makes you say that?"
"He Ho. cause there's more of us then you ho!" said the mascot looking snowman.
"Well now, guess we gotta fix that right? Come Misako Maziodyne!"
Piles of electricity stuck the demons and while not looking so effective the teen proceeded to toss his swords diagonally parallel to each other across the demons.
"You fool! Not only did your attack practically do nothing, you threw your only weapons aside."
"Well, my swords are metal and that was electricity wasn't it?" The demons looked at each other, a look of "shocked" expressions flashed across their faces. "I thought so, Misako, Cross Thunder!" A pure crackle of white lightning stuck the blades bedded into the ground, passing through the demons, as where the previous attack seemed to do nothing, this one had them all on their needs. "I guess we'll wrap this up!"
"Please spare us, we'll be your strength, don't kill us!"
"Hmm.. Naw, I don't have room and besides EXP is better, Misako, Thorn!" The swordsmen took out his blade and struck down his foes in front of him in a clean slash, leaving nothing but a pile of yen.
"Merciless huh" the reserved one spoke as they estimated the fight was over.
"I meant it, full on personas right now, and besides, they were weak."
"Yea Yea, Bet you also didn't plan on making a J*J* reference huh?" the younger girl spoke with sparks of mischievous intent.
"Regardless, how far are you towards the rendezvous point?"
"I'm pretty close by, just down a block why?"
"There is a strong enemy nearby and approaching fast. I need you to be careful and get to safety now."
"Alright, I'm heading there now, how is everyone do-" As those words left his mouth another explosion took place and all that filled his crimson eyes was black. As the world around him slowly faded away, he could barely hear his teammates' cries and yells as they desperately tried to get him to respond.
"Ke-kun!"
"Abihara-san can you hear me?"
"Listen man answer us this ain't funny?
"Oi, I ain't having you die here, get up!'
"Please, answer us, please respond"
"Affirmative, it would be beneficial if you would speak up. You'd promise after all."
"We're close to home, come on, get up"
"KENTARO"

Time Unknown: Place Unknown
A place that's outside time and space, reminiscent of a bar/clubhouse. A unnerving blue swarms the entire place. Music softly plays in the background as a man with a large nose and even larger grin stares before. "Ahh, welcome to the velvet room. It would seem your arrival to this place is most unnatural. Normally all roles would have been filled but it seems there is a spot for you in this story." His voice was both fitting and unfitting. "My name is Igor. I help my guests on their journey along with my assistants." He gestured to a woman far more beautiful than anyone past seen. Yellow eyes and silver hair both natural and unnatural to any onlooker. "In due time you shall be acquainted, but for now fate has other plans with you. For how it is, I'll say that your hand was not very well drawn, for all its faults, it's what you do with it that I'll be looking forward to. We will meet again in the future, for now have a safe trip towards your beginning, trickster…" Slowly, the room fades from vision as so does the music. The sound of a name being called repeatedly is increasing in volume as so does the background. Eventually the brain awakes and soon the story shall begin….
