Gaius's Palace: Portrait of Memory

7/31 Distorted Black Fang Headquarters Afternoon

As the Shadows roam the halls of the castle, Morgana peeked out of behind the corridor watching the patrolling shadow walking away, soon Raiden and Rouge above the cat peeked out. "Is he gone?" Rouge asked.

"Seems like it." Raiden assumed.

"... We can tried even more quietly if you guys cut the chatter more often!" Morgana quietly exclaimed as he turned to his back. The group behind him, with the huntsmen in toll, we bickering and were not trying hard enough to be discreet. "We'll draw too much attention if you guys keep fooling around!"

"The hell!? We can't help it!" Bones exclaimed quietly. "We're all clearly a sitting duck!

"Yeah... we are kind of too clustered for an infiltration." Saber agreed.

"So what now, Morgana? How are we going to proceed?" Blanc questioned in contempt.

"Address me as 'Mona' in the palaces!" Mona demanded followed by a sigh. "Ugh, I shouldn't of told my real name in the first place..."

"I guess the cat's out of the bag, right?" Blaze joke with only Sakura giggling as everyone else sweat-dropped.

"... Anyways, keep it down. I am not about to draw any-" Although Mona's explanation was cut short when he turned around to see a Shadow staring them down. "Oh hell!"

"I-Intruder- guh!" The shadow stammered as Mona jumped on it and ripped the guard's mask off. Initiating combat


*Last Surprise

"We're too cramped for all of us to fight these, 3 of you guys in front, now!" Mona commanded as the Shadow took form. Everyone was raring up for a fight, but complied as Raiden, Rouge, and Rook stepped forth. The Shadows took form as a pair of Ascended Feline.

"H-Huh!? Since when do Shadows take form of their own!?" Kuma questioned.

"I can happen in these palaces. Stay on your toes!" Mona exclaimed as he summons Zorro, blasting Magarula through the corridor with the Shadows evading the strike and lunge towards them. Rook stepped in and guarded Rouge from the incoming strike and Raiden immediately summons Izanagi Picaro and casts Ziodyne, zapping the other Ascended Feline to dust.

While Rook has the remaining shadow attention, Rouge came up from his flank and attempted to strike the Shadow with followed up with a point-blank snipe shot but the Shadow evaded them both and casts a Magaru and causes Rook to stumble as Rouge, Raiden, and Mona held their ground.

Rouge then improvised with Sukukaja and zipped across the room to chase the Shadow, followed by lightning-charged dust bullet, staggering the Shadow as the huntsmen winds up for an all-out attack until... "Hold up!" Mona stated.

"Wait, what? But that's a Shadow!" Rook reminded, a he stood back up.

"There's another way to make use of them besides defeating them." Mona explained. "Remember, Shadows are beings born from people's hearts, so naturally, they can talk too."

"What? But they're attacking us! Why would they want to talk to us?" Blanc questioned.

"You can still communicate with, you know?" Mona mentioned as he approached the shadow with a slingshot pointed at the downed shadow. "Now come on! Point your weapons at her! If we can get them cornered, they might offer money or items since they don't want to die. Besides talking has a better chance of scoring something great as opposed to just offing them."

With no questions asked and doubts holding them both, Raiden had his Persona pin down the Shadow's loose cloth while Kaze held out several shurikens at the ready in both hands, between his fingers. Rouge and Rook looked reluctant and pointed Crocea Mors and Crescent Rose respectively.

*Talk

"N... Nyaa!?" The Shadow stuttered as she looks up to the Huntsmen with their weapons draw upon her. "Hiss... you guys really are assassins that Lord Gaius informed us about! And a bunch of them, too!" It growled.

"Well, that pretty much sums it up, excluding the 'assassin' part." Mona scoffed.

"Grr... you can't fool me! Now what do you what do you want to do to me!?" The Shadow questioned.

"Go on, try request something from it." Mona turned to Rouge.

"Uhh..." Rouge was stuttering on what to say to this, an enemy suppressed to her judgement. It felt really uncomfortable to say the least, yet she went along with it. "You got any money?" She asked as the others on the sidelines all sweat-dropped.

"Money? You would spare me for some pocket change?" The Shadow questioned.

"Something down those lines... Now let it be money or items.. or your life!" Mona declared as he pulls back the band of his slingshot.

The Shadow's expression turns grim as she slowly looks away. "As if I can use any on-duty..." It grunted.

"Of course... Shadows may have and don't it's really unfortunate, but you'll have to go to hell. No hard feelings." Mona declared, much to the group's surprise, even the Shadow's expression turned for the worst.

"What!? Hold on a sec!" Rouge stuttered. "Don't you think your going a little to far with this?" She asked.

"Hate to say it, but we ARE in a hurry. Just think of the Shadow as just another Grimm.

"But this whole thing feels wrong!" Rouge retorted.

"The chances of it alerting the others is awfully high if we let her go. Unless you got another idea?" Mona assumed as he disarms his slingshot.

Rouge stepped forward with a question in mind. "What's this about us being assassins?" She asks.

"Oh! You're pressing information?" Mona realized as he watches her in the interrogation.

"O-Our lord was attacked but a shadowy assailant couple days back and we've been on alert ever since that day, nya." The Nekomata stated.

"That's right, he suffered a mental shutdown..." Raiden mentioned. "I'm certain he's going to be okay."

"... For a bunch of assassins you guys aren't as cold... Are you really assassins?" The Shadow asked.

"We're not assassins!" Rouge exclaimed.

"That's right, we only came to figure out what transpired to Gaius-sensei." Raiden told the shadow. "Will you lend us your strength?" He asked.

"Mew... I suppose I could..." The Shadow muttered reluctantly, until it donned on itself. "Wait... Nya'I just remembered something!" It exclaimed as it began to glow bright blue. "I'm no Shadow of this place, I came from the sea of the human soul... I am Nekomata. May my powers be of use." Nekomata addressed itself as it morphed brightly into what looks like a mask as it flew right into Rouge's face, pushing her down as the blue flame dispersed.

It seems the battle ended.


The group gathered towards Rouge afterwards as she stood back up in confusion. "Wh-what was that!? Why did that..." She asked with stutter.

"H-Huh!? Did Rouge ate that cat bad guy?" Nora questioned with surprise.

"She has that same power like Joker and Raiden?" Mona stated. "So you can use multiple Personas as well?"

"She is the of leader of her own Team after all. No surprise to what Young Sensei can do!" Kuma affirmed.

"Yeah, I've been wondering about that. Is it that good?" Rook asked.

"Of course it is! Only one heart exist per person, so normally a person can only have one Persona!" Mona answered. "To think I can see another person with the same power, and a young girl to boot." He commented.

"Still, I never thought we could talk to the shadows like that. Most of the Shadows we off'ed didn't seem like talking to us at all." Kaze commented.

Chan: "You're telling me."

"So then your methods wasn't like this case before?" Freya asked.

"It was all slaying Shadows and my partner just uses multiple Personas all the way. Not sure how he uses different Personas but it helps either way." Kaze explains their part.

"I don't know Raiden's methods or wherever you got that power, but if it can help us with this infiltration, the more better we can survive. Alright enough chit-chat. We're still exposed out so let's-" Mona suggested until he was interrupted when another Shadow appeared before them. "Are you kidding me!?"

"What the- You bastards-!" *Smack* Just then, Blaze jumped in and smashed the Shadow's face in as started to take form.

"My turn!" Blaze declared as Saber and Blanc followed with Rouge back up front once more.


*Last Surprise

The Shadow took on the appearance of the Bringer of Misfortune as Rouge, Saber, Blaze, and Blanc stepped forth. "You're mine!" Blaze shouted as she charges in for a punch, but when her fist connected the force of her own fist bounced her back, leaving the Shadow unaffected. "W-What!?"

"Looks like that Shadow is immune to physical attacks!" Mona stated from the sidelines. "You'll have to use something with elemental skills!"

"Elemental skills? In that case... come Shiva!" Blanc exclaimed as she ripped her mask off, as Shiva blasted, Mabufula, showers of sharp ice needles upon the Bringer of Misfortune, dealing moderate damage.

The Shadow retaliate with a Taunt upon Blaze, causing her to become increasingly annoyed by the Shadow. "Oh, is that so!?" Blaze exclaimed with her eyes flashing red as she charged towards the Shadow.

"Blaze, wait!" Saber warned but Blaze couldn't listen as she raged upon the Shadow as she could leave a dent on the Shadow.

"An enemy skill that causes someone to enrage, she won't calm down for a bit." Mona stated. "Does anyone have a recovery skill Enradi or something?

"I think I have something in mind." Saber stated, while she then ripped her mask off, summoning Cait Sith. "Tentarafoo!" She commanded as her Persona tossed a bomb-like object that exploded onto the Shadow leaving it disoriented.

The Shadow then started to flail its arms in hopes to strike down its enemies, so far the Persona Users were able to evade the strikes, even Blaze, who was still pissed off. "Rrrrraaaaaaahh! Had enough!?" Blaze roared.

"Oh geez, do we really not have anything to calm her down?" Mona winced.

"I... think I got something..." Rouge answered as she took a moment to recall a Persona in mind. "Sati!" She summons the Persona as it snapped it's fingers causing Blaze to regain her senses upon hearing.

"Ugh... whoa... thanks for that..." Blaze groaned with a thumbs up while rubbing her head with her other hand.

"No rest for the weary just yet!" Saber exclaimed with her Persona out. "Let's see if you aren't just for show, Cait Sith!" She commanded with Cat Sith casting the skill Skull Cracker as Cait Sith fazed around the Shadow followed by the Persona slashing its claws onto the side of the Shadow's head, causing it to increase its confusion further and the Persona then casts Psio, as the blast of cyan, magenta, yellow flare was inflicted upon the Shadow, causing it more damage to it.

The Shadow started to stagger in a limped state. "We have it in our hands, keep pressing it down!" Mona declared as they four continued their attacks.

With Blaze regaining her composure, she then followed through by ripping her mask off, summoning Ifreeta as it shoots Maragion fireballs, blasting the Shadow all over, yet the Shadow still remains standing. "That guy's one tough cookie..." Blaze snarled as she reloads Ember Celica.

"It's almost down! Weiss, ready?" Rouge turned to her teammate.

"Address me as Blanc!" Blanc demanded as she had Shiva readied a Concentrated Bufula, puncturing the Shadow as it soon dissipated afterwards, ending the battle there after.

"Well, what went relatively easy." Blaze commented as Mona sighed, thus ending the battle.


Afterwards, the rest of the group gather together as they check their surroundings. "Simple enough." Saber agreed.

"Unbelievable, don't you guys have any talent for stealth?" Mona questioned.

"What's your deal? We've dealt with worst shit that these punks!" Bones retort.

"We're in the middle of a palace that's filled with Shadows ready to surround us. We can't afford to run wild and make so much noise!" Mona exclaimed back.

"Why not? We've always rushed through these dungeons and destroy our enemies all the time." Chan pointed out.

"Are you serious? Raiden, please tell me she's joking!" Mona begged.

Raiden shrugged otherwise. "Yeeaaahh... it's kinda exactly what Chan said. We are originally Huntsmen after all." Raiden said back.

"I've should've known..." Mona groaned with a pained expression. "Look, if we cause too much of a commotion and getting their attention, we'll never make any progress if we senselessly fight every shadow we face in front of us! We need to take a quiet approach in order to get to my gang's location." He told them.

"... You think those guys will allow us?" Nora pointed to the Shadow guards behind Mona as he turned to them with surprise.

"Oh COME ON!" Mona exclaimed loudly as the group engaged into a long skirmish.

(Cue opening)

*Wake up, Get up, Get out there


After the skirmish, the group were all running from the Shadows chasing them with half of the group exhausted. "See?! I told you all we'd alert the Shadows!" Mona exclaimed while riding on Raiden's shoulder.

"We can't help it! We live to fight our enemies!" Rouge retorted while sprinting.

"Hey, we can't keep this up forever, we have to lose them, somehow!" Kaze reminded. "Hey Mona, any idea where we should go" He asked.

"They were heading into a special room nearby, I'll know where it is, just keep running!" Mona stated they all continued running away from the pursuing Shadows. They thought they could handle the coming Shadows but the corridor eventually became crowded to trapped them from the other side. They managed to break through the front and escape the pincer attack.

The Shadows continues to pursue the group as they turn to a corner. The Shadows followed them only see the group disappear, nothing but furniture through the long corridor. "How the hell did we lose a group THAT big!?" Yelled a Shadow guard.

"Never mind that, they can't be far, let's go!" Another Shadow exclaimed as the group of Shadow guards continued onward, unbeknownst to them that the infiltrators were hiding behind the furniture as they passed through.

Soon as the last guard disappeared from the hallway, they eventually fell out of hiding. "T-That... was a close one..." Chan stuttered as she catches her breath.

"Yeah, unlike the Shadows we face outside, they mean bear business." Kuma huffed.

"That's why I told you guys to not draw any unwanted attention! We can't afford to pick fights if we can't secure the infiltration route to the treasure room!" Mona lectured as the students all had annoyed expressions on their faces.

"Geez, all you ever do is talk and talk. I don't see you do any better at sneaking around!" Blaze retorted.

"Oh you are NOT going there! I am a pro at this!" Mona retorted back. "Besides, my colleagues wanted to show you guys something, if you can even get there, and I'm busting my nine lives to bring you around. Look if you wanted to see what we're doing you best if you be MORE aware of your surroundings. And don't draw any more of the enemies attention." He sighed as he took point. "Follow me."

"I can't believe we're putting up with someone like him..." Blanc groaned as the others gave hints of laughing.

While they silently Mona lead the group to the room where the rest of the phantom thieves were at, although the door of the room on another hand seem too unique for the castle.

"Wait, is this the room you mentioned, why does the door look different?" Chan asked. The door mentioned, had a more plain gray door another than the castle's Shōji doors.

"This is where my group asked to meet up. Oddly, the object in the room holds an incredible distortion." Mona informed.

"So we goin' in?" Bones suggested as they all went in as Rouge stood in place, pondering something.

"Is something wrong, Rouge?" Raiden asked.

"Huh... Yeah, it's just... I think I've seen this door before... and it looks like the ones back at Beacon..." Rouge mentioned.

As Raiden was about to ask about it, their friends inside the room called out to them. "Hey! You might wanna see this!" Kaze beckoned as Rouge and Raiden went inside.

In the room they entered they see a portrait of an image that looks like the front of Beacon Academy. "Is... that our school?" Blaze realized.

"What's a portrait of Beacon doing in here...?" Rook wondered.

"Hmm... *sniff* *sniff* it certainly has a powerful smell. This painting is special somehow." Kuma mentioned after sniffing around it.

As they gazed upon the picture, Blanc scanned the rooms for the Phantom Thieves but none of them were around. "What's going on? I thought the Phantom Thieves would be here. Did you deceived us?!" Blanc questioned.

"I didn't! They were supposed to be here!" Mona deny as he approached the portrait of Beacon while sighing. "Don't tell me they went into the painting already!?"

"They... went into the painting?" Ren asked as Mona poked his paw onto the portrait as then sunk into the painting with ripples from Mona's arm, followed by everyone's surprise with exclamation marks above them.

"It went in!" Sakura exclaimed as Mona pulled his arm out.

"That's right. It seems there's more to this painting than we realized. And it seems there's something inside it too." Mona mentioned. My crew were planning on inspect the painting further, but we were caught up with you guys showing up." He pointed at Rouge, Blanc, and Rook.

"Ehehehe... We were sorta lost after all and... you know..." Rouge stuttered with a weak laugh.

"So... think we can go inside the painting?" Rook asked.

"We can. Just know that this is actually the first for us thieves, so we don't know what will go on in there." Mona mentioned.

"If it's anything like going into TV screen then this shouldn't a problem!" Nora reassured.

"And isn't your comrades in there as well? Shouldn't we worried about them?" Freya recalled.

"As long as you guys are that confidant." Mona sighed as he went into the painting.

"Aright everyone, one at a time!" Raiden declared as he went into the painting next. Soon after, everyone else went in too as the ripples on the painting faded flat.


Upon entering the painting, the group were all falling through a white and blue ripples as they were soon enveloped into a bright light. Soon after, the bright light faded out and the students open their eyes and they eventually realized where they are. "Huh? Are we... back at Beacon!?" Rouge exclaimed.

The were now on the school grounds of their School they're attending, yet everything was a little pale with lesser color compared to the students and their full-colored costumes.

"How did we get back at our school?" Blaze wondered.

"I doubt we're even back at this Beacon school. If I had guess... this might actually be a memory.

"A memory?" Ren asked.

"Hmm... Palaces are distorted desires that have materialized through strong negative and corrupt thoughts. That must be how this memory is connected to this palace. It's a part him, after all." Mona stated.

"Ya know, if your saying that this is a memory, I guess that explains how some of these huntsmen have more classic weapons with them." Rouge pointed at them. They see student huntsmen with ordinary weapons, unlike the group before them.

Even the people here, also with little color, were ignoring them, whether they're feigning ignorance or they aren't even seeing them. One person even went through Kuma, much to the groups surprise. "I guess were like ghosts in here, too?" Rouge assumed.

Saber then over heard something near the courtyard with her cat ears. "I hear something that's loud over there."

"Hmm...? Oh that's right! It's almost like some delinquent ranting about." Sakura added. They both guided their friends to the sound as they see another group in costumes that were also standing out among the pale atmosphere. "Hmm? Are they...?" Ren wondered. They approached the group an upon closer expectation, they realized who they were looking at; the Phantom Thieves.

"Joker! Everyone!" Mona exclaimed as he and the student Huntsmen approached them He wore a black ankle-length tailcoat, a high-necked waistcoat with gold accents, black jogger-style pants, brown-black winklepickers, and a pair of red gloves. His mask is a black and white, birdlike domino mask.. "I thought, I told you to wait outside in the room! What happened!?" He questioned.

"Skull happened." Said the girl in the red skin-tight catsuit with a matching red panther mask, cleavage cutout, zippers, pink gloves, dark red thigh-high boots and has a clipped on tail in the back.

"I'm telling you again, it was a friggin' accident!" Skull bluntly exclaimed angrily. His outfit was portrayed as a burglar outfit consists of matching black jacket and pants with knee pads, a red ascot, combat boots, a pair of yellow gloves, and a skull mask.

"I fathom how you 'trip' into the portrait is an accident." Another theif questioned in a refine disbelief. His outfit consists of a traditional kitsune-style half mask with his Faunus trait of Fox ears on top, a black high-collared, puff-sleeved jumpsuit with a white fox tail attached to a striped sash worn across his hips, white motorcycle boots, and bright blue gloves.

"You too, Fox? The hell you guys!" Skull continued to rebuked.

Then a female thief stepped in between Skull and Fox. "Ahem! I believe we still owe our new friends an explanation." Reminded the said thief as Skull looked away while scratching his head. The wore an outfit consists of a dark two-toned skintight suit that is worn with a long black scarf, a dark gray corset-style leather breastplate, shoulder and knee pads with spikes mixed with boots that sport metal heels and toes, white gloves, and an iron mask. "You certainly took a huge leap to bring your friends in, Raiden."

"They did wanted to meet you guys in person, Queen." Raiden as he introduced his friends.

"Well... I certainly wasn't expecting you guys to be the same students outside. You're those same students we saw at Shujin Academy, aren't you?" Blanc guessed, much to the Phantom Thieves surprise.

"The hell, you know who we are!?" Skull staggered.

"Who else could mistaken by that dyed blond hair of yours! Your Sakamoto, and she's Takamaki " Blanc mentioned as they flinched upon hearing their name, she then turned to Joker and Queen. "And how can I not notice Kurusu's frizzy hair, and your Niijima!"

"I suppose we can't help but fail to conceal our obvious giveaway." Queen sighed.

"Then what about me?" Fox recalled.

"You... um... who are you?" Blanc stuttered as she doesn't recognize him.

"Hey hey! We can play this guessing game later!" Mona exclaimed as he turned to Joker. "We have our reinforcements, but we're all in a predicament, aren't we?

"We were looking around for an exit and we notice Gaius taking a walk the corner this way." Joker explained.

"Are you referring to Shadow Gaius?" Kaze asked.

"We don't think so. The Gaius here... looks rather young than who we see today." Queen informed.

"A younger Gaius?" The Student Huntsmen questioned.

"Mona said this area, the Painting outside the place, is some sort of memory, is that right? Would this be Beacon Academy in the past?" Rouge guessed.

"Beacon Academy?" Skull asked.

"It's a school for Huntsman and Huntresses. We're actually attending a year right now in the Kingdom of Vale." Sakura explained.

"Oh! So you guys are the guys Raiden mentioned?" Skull said with enthusiasm.

"What do you think your doing!?" Someone yelled around the corner of the building, catching the Student Huntsmen and the Phantom Thieves attention. As the entire group rush over, the spotted a younger Gaius gripping his chest in pain as he was in heated confrontation with some other delinquents, being in between them and a pair of girls behind them.

"Out of my way you freak, we have a score to settle with her!" The Delinquent exclaimed as he pointed to the girls behind him, a teenager with grey short hair who was angrily fuming.

"[Bastard pricks! We're not you sex outlet!]" The gray-haired girl exclaimed. There was another girl with longer light brown hair behind her who was shivering while shedding tears, hiding behind the gray haired girl.

"Grh... What's this about sex? You intend to rape them!?" Young Gauis growled.

"Who cares! They can't speak English, so no one will ever know." The delinquent sadistically stated with a wicked smile until he notice something. "Wait, you what they're saying!?"

"Japanese. They aren't yours to conquer, you filthy mutts!" He exclaimed as he gave a burning stare at them.

"H-Hey, if the teachers heard-" Another delinquent staggered in fear.

"Then will have put this savage down!" The leading delinquent declared with an insane smile drawing his Mace weapon. His delinquent friends soon surrounded the three.

The group watched as they saw the disgusting display. "What the hell!? This is bullshit!" Skull exclaimed angrily.

"Bulling Faunus is one thing, but that... that's just crossing the line!" Saber exclaimed as some of the students were about to step in.

"Wait, stop! We can't do anything about this!" Mona exclaimed.

"But we can't just let them do what they want!" Saber retorted furiously.

"You already know that this is a memory, this isn't going to affect the real world!" Mona warned. "Besides, we can't interfere when we can't even make any contact with anyone here." He recalled as he walked near the upset Saber. "Why do you think this memory was place in the Palace in the first place? It must of held something valuable, than something traumatic than this."

"But still..." Saber grunted.

The conflict begin with a pair of delinquents flanked Young Gaius on both sides with thrusting their weapons on the sharp ends at Gaius, but the young Faunus countered back with deflecting both weapons away by using both hands as the delinquents stumbled afterwards. The one near the girls looked at them as the gray-haired girl stomped on the delinquent's face, rendering him unconscious.

"Hmm... pretty good." Raiden commented with confidence.

The other delinquent got back up and cling onto the Young Gaius as he struggle to break loose. "You inferior filth!" The leading delinquent growled as was about to strike the Faunus a round-house kick planted in his face as he was then flung away. The assailant was around their age and has black-hair with red hues and he wore a black blazer with straps tied near his elbow with black jeans with bastard sword sheathed to his back-waist. "You... Soul!" He roared with a strong glare to his silver eyes while pressuring the pain from his head.

"Dammit Winchester, that's drawing the line!" Soul exclaimed.

"What I do to this pest is not your concern. Now piss off, freak-lover!" Winchester exclaimed as he swings his mace before Soul as he didn't flinched back.

"Uhh, hey, I heard something about rape, is that true?" Soul whispered back to the young Gaius.

"What do you think?" Gaius mentioned as he pointed back at the girls behind him.

"I see your point." Soul nodded as he drew his bastard sword, deflecting the second swing from Winchester. He blocked and evaded several swings from him and knocked away the other delinquents until suddenly one of the delinquents caught him and held him and his arms in place. "Oh no...!" Soul stuttered with with frightful expression as he sees Winchester winding up his attack.

"I'll make sure he'll join you soon, freak-lover!" Winchester declared menancingly as he rushes in for the kill.

"You with the Silver eyes! Duck!" Young Gaius stated as Soul did as he was told, by ducking as the Faunus pulled the delinquent up from behind as he flipped the delinquent over the Silver-eyed student as Winchester's attack struct the delinquent instead, rolling away and then yelped from the pain of his spine that broke.

"That was... clever..." Blanc commented with good impression.

"Winchester... the hell, is that Cardin's old man!?" Bones realized.

"You know that shit-head!?" Skull exclaimed.

"Damn straight! He's the one responsible for killin' Faunus sympathizers in Vale. My team went to court and won against him." Bones mentioned.

Back with the memories, Soul and Gaius were eventually on a stalemate with the delinquents. "Good-for-nothing pestilence...! I'll make you wish you were never been born!" Winchester roared with his weapon ready.

"I like to see you try." Gaius muttered in response a he gripped his Katana, yet Soul held him back.

"Don't. Trust me on this." Soul whispered with confidence. Gaius groaned as he questioned what Soul had in mind, lowering his weapon.

"DIE-oof!" Winchester exclaimed as he ran towards Soul, only to trip on a purple-colored stone placed before him.

"What...?" Gaius muttered as Soul pointed to his left, as they saw Glynda Goodwitch with her riding crop, only that she had longer hair than the students saw before.

"What is the meaning of this!" Professor Goodwitch questioned.

Soul was about to explain the situation but Winchester ran to her limped to his knees. "That animal was about to rape those to angels!" He exclaimed as he points back at Gaius with terrified expression. "Me and my guys were-was trying to stop him and-and Soul got in our way! That filthy mongrel has to die!" He staggered with a crazed look.

Gaius looked to the pathetic person, he can see the malice emanating from that fool.

"It was actually the other way around, Professor." Soul pointed out.

"Don't listen to that freak-lover! He was also in on it!" Winchester continued to rant.

"Then why were you intent on killing him?" Another voice asked as they all see Headmaster Ozpin walking towards them. "If you wanted to help these fair ladies you could have reported him to the teacher. So why did you all took matters to your hands?" He asked as the delinquents said nothing and looked away. Ozpin then walked towards Soul, Gaius, and the pair of girls who were irritated and frighten respectively. "[Was there a problem with these students here?]" He asked, speaking in the language those girls knew, with the boys faced the headmaster.

"Wait, what did he say?" Soul asked.

"He's asking the girls about us." Gaius answered as he crossed his arms while the girls were explaining their story. "So he can speak Japanese, too..."

"[I understand, I'll make sure they're properly punished]" Ozpin reassured.

"[And... um... what about them...? They did their best to protect us.]" The shy girl asked as she point to Soul and Gaius.

The Headmaster looked to them with confidence. "[That is one of the duty of all huntsmen, as to what my is Academy is meant to nurture. I'll make sure they're rewarded for this act.]" Prof. Ozpin rest assured as he turned to the delinquents. "Mr. Winchester, I would like to see you and your friends in my office immediately."

Winchester: "What!? B-but what about-"

"I know what you tried to do and your friends are your accomplices. I am a teacher, after all. Now please don't make a scene." Ozpin demanded while tapping his cane on the ground with a sound tap as Winchester and the other delinquents gritted their teeth as they followed the headmaster. Winchester couldn't do anything but glare back at Soul and Gaius with strong animosity towards them both.

"That was certainly a close call, Mr. Rose." Glynda turned to Soul as he scratches his head.

"Mr... Rose?" The Persona Users wondered.

"Yeah... too close. We might of had to defend ourselves, and that would be a pain..." Soul sighed. "Thanks for your help, T.A."

"Well, I certainly expect you to be a model student from here on." T.A. Glynda stated as she followed after the Headmaster.

"... T.A.?" Gaius wondered

"Teacher Assistant. So you guys from another Kingdom? Never seen you guys before." Soul answered as he turned to face the three. "The name's Soul Rose."

"My name is Gaius Erston. We're from the Kingdom of Japan. Unfortunately they are still working on their English." Gaius replied as he translated for the female students. "The tough and prideful one is Seta Dojima and shy one in Nei Yuuki." He introduced them as Seta nodded and Nei bowed formally.

As the girls were saying their appreciations, Soul can do was tilt his head question what they were saying. "... Uhh... what?" Soul asked with a confused expression.

The Persona Users all but watch and speculate. "So this is a memory of how he met his teammates?" Rouge guessed.

"And Mr. Erston was a student at Beacon, too?" Rook added as took a closer look at his teammates and recognizes Seta. "Hey, Raiden, doesn't she look like your mom?"

"That... IS my mom... It's actually hard to believe, she was never that serious..." Raiden nodded.

"Looks like we're having story here, a bear-meet-girl story here!" Kuma giggled

"Not to mention the person name Soul Rose. Doesn't he look like Rouge?" Ren pointed out.

"That's... wait... he looks like my Father...!" Raiden realized, much to the other's surprise.

"Dude... your old man!?" Skull exclaimed.

"Huh... you did said that your parents work overseas as Huntsmen, but isn't this guy's name Soul Rose? Wouldn't he be Ruby's dad or something?"

"No, Our dad is more blond than that... then again, I think I saw that guy before..." Blaze mentioned.

"... Oh, do you think Soul may be some lost uncle we've never heard about?" Chan wondered.

"Okay, I think we are getting off track here, we've watched memory but now we need to find a way out of here." Mona reminded.

"That's right. We can talk more when we head back out, but right now..." Queen followed but then a giant Grimm-looking Shadow roared through out the schoolyard.

"Whoa, we've got company!" Kaze exclaimed as the Shadow slammed its hand onto the ground, causing a rip into a white empty space out, splitting the majority of the group away from the Shadow, leaving Joker, Rouge, Skull, and Panther to fend against the Shadow itself.

"Joker!" "Sis!" Mona and Blaze exclaimed.

*Keeper of Lust

"You okay?" Joker asked Rouge as they found themselves against the Shadow while the others are barred on the other side of the ripped reality. "What's happening!?"

"That Shadow... It's ripping through the painting!?" Mona exclaimed as the Shadow slipped into this world and took form of a Demonic Warrior.


The Shadow glare upon Rouge with its red eyes. "SOUL! YOU WILL DIE FOR YOUR INTERFERENCE!" It shouted as it Charged itself up

"Wha-What!?" Rouge staggered as Joker and Skull stepped forward.

"Like hell you're gonna get to her!" Skull declared as he pulled his mask off with both of his hands. "Blast'em, Captian Kidd!" He called forth his Persona, taking form of a sinister-looking pirate standing on a ship with eyes and teeth in front. It shot a Zionga lightning beam at the Shadow, pushing it back from attacking Rouge.

While the giant Shadow narrowed its focus on the four Persona Users, Kuma then notices Shadow appearing from the rip and stood before the rest of the Persona Users, along with Ren and Nora. "Eek! More Shadows incoming!" Kuma panicked.

"Don't forget about me! Carmen!" Panther shouted as she rips her mask off. Her Persona, Carmen takes form as an Alluring dancer, with roses on her hips adorned on her flashy red dancing attire, not to mention the Persona was pressing down a person with a heart-shaped head with one of its stilettos. Carmen follows up by casting Agilao upon flicking its fingers, blasting the exploding fireball at the Shadow.

"We can count on Rouge and Joker to take down the big Shadow." Raiden assured as he summons Izanagi Picaro. "Let's deal with these first." He stated as his friends agreed and fought back.

Back with the giant Shadow, the Demonic Warrior retaliated, using a Vajra Blast at the four with moderate damage as it struck again. However, Joker immediately ripped his mask off and called forth a Persona. "Setanta!" The Persona came forth and reached a deadlock with a Giant Slice. "Rouge, do you have a skill to recover our strength?" The Phantom Thief asked.

"Uh... right!" Rouge exclaimed as she sought a Persona in her soul. "Kikuri-Hime!" She called forth a Persona, casting Mediarama, recovering their strength back up.

"My turn! Arsene!" Joker swaps out Setanta as he summons a different Persona This one is unique, as it dashes towards the Shadow, it looked like a Red and Black colored thief with a wicked-looking mask with a tophat and dark red wings and bladed heels on the leggings. Arsene swiped as round-house kick with its bladed heels, launching a Brave Blade at the Shadow, slicing into the metallic body as it staggers backwards.

"Denying my pleasure and always butting in a my opportune moments! You always has been an eyesore. YOU AND YOUR DAMN PET!" Shadow shouted as glares at Rouge who was still confused.

"I seriously don't know what it's talking about...!" Rouge denied in all seriousness.

"It has to be because of that Soul guy, he has that similarity you must have." Joker assumes as his Persona readies another attack. "Either way, it's going down." Arsene casts Eigaon as a dark blast struck the shadow, followed by another axe-kick Brave Blade, but was still standing tall.

"Looks like he's strong against all physical attacks!" Mona stated as he watches them from the other side.

"We ain't hitting that thing's weakness yet, what is it?" Skull grunted a question.

"Guys, get in here!" The Shadow commanded as a pair of shadows appeared, taking form of Shiisas'.

"This is gonna get a little rough." Panther sighed as she had Carmen puffing out a Dormina smoke at one of them, causing the Shadow to doze off with a sleep effect.

"Uh...!" Rouge panicked as the other Shiisa pounced at her as she evaded its lunge as the Persona User summoned Leanan Sidhe as it uses Marin Karin on it, causing the Shadow to daze around, but this time, it strike the giant Shadow instead, afterwards the Persona casts Psio on the brainwashed Shiisa, doing technical damage as the shadow dissipates after. "... Well, that works..." She chuckled weakly as she turns to the other Shiisa Shadow.

"That one has a weakness to Curse skills!" Mona told them.

"Got it! Arsene!" Joker nodded as he baton swapped with Rouge as he summons his Persona and casts Eigaon upon the Shiisa, instantly defeating it. Once more, Joker summoned another Persona, Leanan Sidhe of his own as it casts Psio on the Demonic Warrior, causing the giant Shadow to stagger down. "Shell we?" The Phantom Thief leader beckoned his teammates as the four charged in with an all-out attack, ending with Joker pulling down his gloves stylishly as the Demonic Warrior in the background spewed its blood.

Just as the Shadow dissipates, so does the rest of Shadows attacking the other Shadows fading out, ending the battle.


"That was... stylish?" Said Rouge baffled by his performance.

"Trust us, Rouge, he's that much of a show off." Skull agrees.

"I thought you were the one who shows off more than him." Panther says otherwise, much to Skull's denial.

As the ripped reality soon mended back together, the rest of their friends regrouped with the four. "Are you guys okay?" Raiden asked as everyone gathered.

"Yeah, we're good." Rouge replied with a thumbs up.

"Still, I gotta say, I didn't know you can use more Personas too." Skull commented.

"Rouge, was it? That was an remarkable on how you dance with your foe." Fox also complimented.

"Oh, uh, thanks... guys" Rouge replied, being overwhelmed.

"So what's next? We have to get out of this place. You think we can find an exit?" Rook asked.

Everyone realizes that and surveyed the area, eventually Freya finds a key laying on the ground where the defeated giant Shadow. "Oh this key. It seems it belong to the Shadow you defeated." She brought it to the group.

"And we can actually touch that key..." Mona taking a closer look at the key Freya gave to him. "Maybe we could use this. Is there a door nearby?" He asked.

"The the giant door to the school's Amphitheater. It's nearby." Saber pointed to the direction and guided them.

A little later they arrived at the giant door. Mona then examine the door lock and the key. "This is the only door we've saw around here. Sure hopes this works." Mona hoped as he inserted the key as it unlocked. The door automatically swung wide open, much to everyone's surprise, as it launched Mona right at Kuma.

"O-ow..." Kuma groaned as everyone sweat-dropped.

Facing back to the entrance, they entered as they see the Amphitheater filled with silhouettes. "Ah, this is when they select the Teams!" Rouge exclaimed.

"Selecting teams?" Panther asked as Saber explains how this system works.

"So your all appointed into four teammates and your Team name is the abbreviation of your first letters of your names?" Queen summarized as the Huntsmen nodded.

Ren looked upon the stage to see the same four people they saw. "Look there, isn't that Gaius up there?" He pointed towards the stage as the Headmaster began the orientation.

"Soul Rose, Nei Yuuki, Seta Dojima, Gauis Erston. The four of you have retrieved the White Rook pieces. From this day forward you will work together as... Team SEYD. Led by... Soul Rose." He declared. As the audience applaud, Soul was cheering excitingly, Nei was delighted, Seta scoffed with confidence, and Gaius held little emotions about this.

However, Soul gave a fist-bump to his Faunus teammate. "It'll be a pleasure working with each other, right partner?" Soul stated with a confident smile.

"Hm... I expect the best out of you, 'leader'." Gaius reply bumping fist in return with a small grin.

Just then and Echo faded in as the students heard. "A reckless fool like is leader...? Interesting." it muttered, fading out.

Just then a flash lit behind the onlooking group as turned their back as door flashed before them. "Whoa, what the-!" Chan staggered as they all were engulfed into the bright light.


As the flash of light fade out, Rouge opened her eyes first as she noticed that they're back in the same room. "This room... Hey, we're back!" She realized as everyone opened their eyes as well.

"We certainly made it out of the painting, too... Huh? Now it looks different?" Mona included as they turned around to see the portrait, but this time, the painting show a pair of huntsmen, Soul and Gaius facing back while bumping fist with each other.

"Wow, now that's some clean quality." Kaze commented as he chuckled. "It's like he's a partner that does everything with him.

"He must of held a strong bond with that man. He must be a respectable ally to the Black Fang leader." Fox agrees.

"But still... 'Soul Rose'...? Are you guys sure he's not some distant relative to Ruby-chan and Yang-chan?" Chan wondered.

"Again, I think I saw him before... it's lagging in my head." Blaze said otherwise.

"I never met that guy before, either." Rouge agrees.

"And then there's Yu-senpai's mom." You thinkin' she and that Soul guy are married?" Bone guessed.

"He must of had his name changed and established residence in out kingdom. It's also possible to have your name changed, too." Queen assumed.

"Hmm... there's still some loop-holes in our questions." Joker mentioned but figured Raiden knows. "Raiden, you know the leader of the Black Fang, don't you?"

"Gaius-sensei? Yeah, he's my next door neighbor. He's also a good friend of my father." Raiden answered.

"Your father!? Your neighbor!?" Many of the group exclaimed.

"That's must be when Gaius-sensei became a Huntsman back then." Raiden also assumed.

"Wait, what's your father's name again?" Panther asked. "Not that it's important or anything..."

"His name is Souji. My father, Souji Narukami." Raiden simply answered, much to the other's sweat-drop.

"Souji Narukami...? So then your father's original name is Soul Rose?" Sakura asked.

"I can't really say, my parents never told me anything about their history." Raiden shook his head.

"Well... did you, by any chance, ever asked them about Gaius-san? Anything about him?" Skull asked.

"No, my father asked him to babysit me when they were out time to time... actually I never asked them for anything, really." Raiden denied.

"Wha-... wait so then, you didn't asked about their past life or their job?" Rook questioned.

"I think that's was when I started to go to my first year of Middle School. I did 'try' to asked them a related question, but when I did, it seem they didn't seem comfortable about saying anything, so I never asked about it afterwards." Raiden explained.

"Back when you started Middle School!? Dude, that literally leaves more questions needed to be answered." Told Kaze.

"If not incredibly obedient..." Saber muttered.

"If we need questions we could probably try another memory." Rouge pointed out a suggestion, with everyone turning to Rouge. "I mean, these pictures actually show Mr. Erston's memory. Maybe we could find the answered in there."

"Hm... that may be a plausible suggestion." Mona agrees as he realizes that he had something in his pouch and pulls out the same key he held back from inside the portrait. "I should hold on to this... it feels like it has an important value..." He thought, putting the key back into his pouch. "Alright you guys, let's go investigate this castle once more." He suggested as he rushes towards the door. "And try to remain incognito, this time." He glares at the student Huntsmen of the group as they sweat-dropped once more.

Upon leaving the room and quietly heading out through the hallway, around the corner of the opposite side of the group's direction, was a certain Shadow leaning on the corner of the wall, observing the group's actions.


A/N: I am SO sorry for the delay. Work has left me no time to work on these. I'm afraid that I might delay the next chapters due to my workload IRL. I hope you guys don't mind.

I see that Ren Amamiya is the official name for the P5 protagonist. As much as some of you guys like Akira Kurusu, I might actually use Ren as his real name and Akira as his cover name. He on probation, so a minor name change would be prefer... For now, I'll keep his name as Akira. Perhaps I'll use it as a nickname for the later volumes. Persona 5 the Animation is out if you don't know, btw.

I used the character's codenames instead of their real name because they're inside the palace. nice ring to it, yes? I have their codenames on my page, too.

I think I got an idea on how to get Ren (RWBY) a Persona it will relate to Gaius and his memory and possible easter egg hint from another game, you'll see.

Also you guys saw P3D and P5D? They really are doing a rhythm game, too. holy hell.

Unfortunately, I still haven't gave the P5 characters a shot in the Chibi segments yet. That's because I haven't been able to make them officially part of the crew. I made myself a rule to get the characters in the segments when they're... part of the crew... well that didn't made any sense... I assure you I will get them in the segments later.

Also, if I wanted to make this short, think i should skip a excursion to Tatsumi Port Island? While I intend on featuring TMS and P4 Arena, I could say that the trip was canceled due to some incident with the Phantom Thieves and a murder under their name... otherwise I might need to make up a plot, which will take a longer while to plan out. For now, I still have to make this original chapter to a close, so please bear the wait, no pun intended.

Also... Okay, I think I might actually squeeze some P5 characters... hear you go.


Special Maid Cafe/Big Bang Burp

Akira, and Mishima invited Yosuke, Kanji, and Team RWBY and Janue and Pyrrha to a maid cafe. It has a awfully cute atmosphere. "Thanks for inviting us to one of these "Maid Cafes'" Jaune said with gratitude.

"I never knew that there were cafe with Maids." Pyrrha mentioned as she looked through the menu.

"This Kingdom certainly has a lot of time in there hands." Blake included as she looked skeptical about the cafe they were in. "All this pink is overwhelming..."

"You think so too?" Morgana meowed in agreement as he hid inside Akira's schoolbag.

"Well, I see that they have this big parfait, this looks big." Ruby noted.

"Big enough to share. How about it?" Yang asked the other teammates.

"I'll have this omelet to go with that parfait." Weiss ordered.

"I'm good with the parfait their having." Blake said.

"... Say, weren't there more of you guys around?" Mishima asked.

"Nora wanted to head to one of those fast food restaurant you guys call... Big Bang Burger?" Pyrrha told him.

"Oh, right! There's an event going on..." Akira realized.


At the Big Bang Burger, all the onlooking customers and the employees were all dumbstruck as they just witness Nora stuffing herself with the biggest possible burger they could offer in their challenges. "I would love to go for seconds...!" Nora stuttered in a deep tone.

"I think that's enough to skip dinner tonight, Nora." Ren suggested otherwise as an employee stepped before them.

"My sincerest congratulations on completing all three challenges in a row!" She stated with astonishment. "For your reward, I present to you the highest ranked certification available!" She stated as Nora acquired the Captain Badge. "We hereby promote you to the rank of Captain. There are no more challenges await you. But please feel free to do the challenge again and show us how gallant you are! We'll be wholeheartedly awaiting your return!" She bowed and left.

"Are you feeling alright, Nora?" Ren asked

"Mhm! Much be-*BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-*" Nora's burp was loud and long, it started to shake the ground.


At maid cafe, the group were about to enjoy their parfait, until they felt the ground shaking. "What... was that...?" Blake questioned.

"Dunno." Yang simply replied with her mouth stuffed as they watch the Maid serving Jaune and Pyrrha.

"I shall now top it with some love cream!" The Maid coyfully declared as Jaune looked excited as Pyrrha glared annoyingly at the maid. "Loveee... insertion!" She stated as she blasted a whole lot of whip cream on their parfait. "Oh no! I put to much love on it..."

"She should've notice that while she was making it...!" Blake muttered.

"U-Um... Master... Th-This shows how high my love goes!" The Maid stuttered. "So... you'll forgive me, right?"

Jaune shook his head. "Oh that's all right. All is forgive-"

Just then, Pyrrha slammed her hand on the table which caught her friends attention. "Please. Fix it." Pyrrha demanded with an assertive smile.

"Oh my! Of course!" The Maid blushed as she took the plate away with a joyful expression.

"Wait, was she..." Yosuke wondered as he observes the interaction.

She returned with a new plate but with the same meal they ordered but with the just right amout of "Love Cream" on top. "Masters, I'm sorry for messing up today. But it really is nice having as kind a master as you, and your strictness showed how reliable you really M'lady!" She mentioned. "Enjoy your meals, Masters!" She said as she walks away.

"She seems nice." Jaune noted.

"Too nice..." Pyrrha groaned.

As the Maid walked away, the other guys couldn't help but looked thoroughly at the other Maids of the shop.

"Trap?" Akira asked.

"Trap." Mishima answered

"Definitely a Trap." Yosuke agreed

"Holy shit..." Kanji muttered in disgust.

They then turned to the Vale huntsmen as were enjoying his time in a Trap cafe, not knowing what the maids really are. "You guys brought us to Trap-themed Maid Cafe, didn't you." Yosuke whispered his questioned while giving a pained expression..

"We didn't know." Akira denied.

"I might've looked up the wrong information..." Mishima stuttered with a pained expression as well.

"Well... as long as Jaune doesn't knows about that..." Yosuke sighed as they kept to themselves.

"Hey more parfaits here, sweet-cheeks! Keep'em coming!" Cardin exclaimed with some maids hanging around his teammates.

"Master, how assertive!" One of the maids stated gleefully.
