The hell?" Ren looked around his surroundings. This clearly wasn't the metaverse. There's no palace and he can't feel any distortions, but this clearly can't be the real can it? Places looked smashed together and there was a giant orb in the sky, so the question is, where is he?

All Ren remembered was him and Morgana sitting in the Leblanc attic, and as Morgana was ranting to him about the importance of sleep and the fact he had school the next morning, Ren couldn't take his eyes off the window above the bed.

"Hey, Morgana, do you see that?" Ren interrupted Morgana's rant.

"See what?" The cat's annoyance turned into confusion as he saw Ren staring at the window.

"That bright light. Isn't it 10pm? Why is the sun out?" Ren stood up feeling something is very wrong. Morgana started feeling worried too as he looked outside and indeed, there was a blinding light that was as bright as the sun.

Pi Pi Pi!

Ren checked his phone to see he got a text from Ryuji.

Ryuji: Dude! Do you see that light

Ren: Yeah, it's so weird, isn't it night right now?

Ryuji: HOLY SHIT

Ren: What? What happened?

Ren was feeling a bit panicked. If Ryuji was panicking, then something is very wrong.

"Joker look out!" Ren barely had enough time to react as the bright light broke off into tendrils and started going wild all over the city.

And one of them was aiming for Leblanc.

Ren shut his eyes as he felt the light's heat wash over his skin.

When he came to, he was in a barren wasteland and instead of his casual t shirt and black pants, he was in his Phantom Thieves gear.

Looking around, Joker saw the wasteland was massive. If only Morgana was here so he can turn into a car. This journey was going to be a big one.

Wandering around, Joker saw no one. No human, animal, or even a fly. Hell, he would rather deal with Akechi than deal with this.

"Pikachu!" He heard a cry and next thing he knew felt an electric shock run through his body.

"What the-?" Turning around he saw he was ambushed by a….. yellow rat? The rat's cheeks had two red dots which are crackling with energy and it's red eyes seemed to harbor hatred for him, for whatever reason he did nothing to that little shit.

"Arsene!" Joker cried out as he summoned his Persona and pulled out his gun and fired into the rat.

The gun worked. And the rat clearly felt it as it cried out in pain and anger as it tried to dodge the bullets.

"So am I in the metaverse?" Joker muttered. The gun was a model and should only work in the metaverse. No time for that now.

The rat charged itself up to full power and charged at Joker with blinding speed. In his panic, he activated Makarakarn. The rat exploded on impact and a white looking orb came out of it.

An orb that was extremely familiar.

"Morgana…?" Joker muttered looking at his feline friend's image on the orb. He was surprised to see the orb was tangible. He pocketed his friend's spirit and found his knife has taken a special kind of aura.

"This is going to be a weird trip."
