He awoke with a start, feeling a terrible cold against his skin. He found himself in a forest, laying in freshly fallen snow. Night was beginning to fall, the moon above him, though faint and difficult to see in the twilight, was shattered and broken.
He stood at 5'11, with an athletic build. He wore a black jacket, with a grey turtleneck underneath, with black pants and shoes of the same color. His hair was colored silver, and in a bowl cut, and his eyes were a steel gray.
The chamber was dark, almost like a void, with a single shaft of light came down from above. In the middle stood the young man covering his face to shield his eyes from the light, and to attempt to peer into the darkness before him.
"Yu Narukami" an ethereal voice called out from the darkness. "You have been brought before this divine council to be rendered judgement for the act of deicide!"
Yu picked himself up off of the ground, trying in vain to keep warm as he searched for some sign of civilization. His trek through the forest lasted hours, until the dark of night had finally crept over these woods. In his head, he tried to figure out the reasoning behind his trial, and his sentencing.
"What?! I'm being judged for saving the world?! That's bullshit!"
"SILENCE!! We know why you commited your crime. Her madness was the only reason we had you brought before us. Though you had your reasons, such a heretical act must be punished!!"
Yu froze in his tracks as he heard a growl behind him. A horrifying beast resembling a black wolf with red eyes, bonelike spikes jutting out from its shadowy form, and a white, bone like mask stalked toward him, with two others stepping out of the shadows.
He barely had time to react as the middle wolf pounced! He rolled out of the way, a blue ethereal card appearing in his hand...
"Your sentence is a follows: Your power shall be stripped to its base level. The other selves you have accumulated will be lost, save for your first...
"Izanagi!"
The card shattered like glass as an ethereal figure blinked into view. The entity was a swordsman wearing a long black coat with a high collar, its face covered in bandages, with what looked like a white bandana around its forehead and flowing behind it. In its right hand was a massive glaive, the blade resembling a combat knife. and its feet were essentially bladed getta.
This was Izanagi, Yu's other self. His Persona. Izanagi slashed the wolf in half, only for one of the other wolves to rake its claw against the boy's back. Yu spun around and focused on the wolf that wounded him, shouting "Zio!" The wolf was obliterated by a burst of lightning from Izanagi's weapon, but the rest of the pack had arrived to aid in the hunt!
"You will be banished from your world, and will live out your sentence on another. There, you will fight, or you will die."
Another wolf had clawed Yu's leg, hobbling him and making him an easier target! One of the wolves went in for the kill...
SHNNNGG*
Only to fall to pieces. A figure had appeared before Yu, standing between him and the pack. They were a diminutive figure, their features concealed by a red cloak, and they carried a massive, red, mechanical scythe. One by one the wolves were slaughtered by this newcomer.
Yu watched in amazement as whoever this was darted around the field, cutting down the pack as they went. One by one the wolves were eviscerated, their corpses dissolving into shadowy smoke. Before long, Yu and the mysterious reaper were the only two left in the clearing. Yu attempted to speak, but couldn't muster up the strength. The blood loss from his wounds combined with the mental fatigue from summoning Izanagi were taking their toll on the young man.
He fell to his knees, the reaper appearing at his side in an instant, catching him before he hit the ground. As he looked into the reaper's hood, he saw something that surprised him.
It was a girl. A teenage girl, probably younger than he was. She had short, red-black hair and silver eyes. On her face was a look of concern. "Are you okay?" She asked, her fear and worry clear as day in her voice.
"...who..." was all the young man could manage to say before slipping into unconsciousness...
"Oh no!" exclaimed the diminutive reaper. "Please don't die, Mr. Silver-Hair!! I'm gonna get you to somewhere safe!" With that, the reaper draped Yu's arm around her shoulder, holding him up as they made their way through the snowy forest.
"On this day, you are banished...
"... to Remnant."
