New chapter, new characters, new troubles. So now I'll answer some questions

RosyMiranto18:

-Philemon is not really into technology. So no cell phone for him or even a computer. And yes, he fears an espionage attempt. You'll see why.

-Yamato and Akechi have a rivalry going on for a while. It will be shown later.

-Akira being the clown and the funny guy has a reason. You'll see it later.

-The Art Club is where the creepy student hangs out. That's why. Also, Kagura doesn't really have a hobby besides reading. She's the kind of person that'll rather stay at home if there's nothing for her to do.

-Azami in this story is a little different from my Persona 4 fanfic. I'm taking liberties with my ocs on this one.

-I can't answer that question without giving away spoilers. So you'll have to wait.

Smack77721:

No, this is an AU, so any event from any of the Persona games didn't happen. Akira's arrest didn't happen, instead, Akira's backstory will be different which lead to some interesting conversations and some impactful moments. Don't worry about his attitude, there's a reason for that.

Guest Review:

It's an AU so it doesn't really matter what's canon and what not.

And lastly, I wanted to ask you all a question. I've been thinking lately about writing an original Persona story. Not a retelling, crossover or a POV story, a fanfic taking place after Persona 5 with all new characters and a dark story. I had the idea and some characters, but I wanted to know if any of you would like that kind of story. If all of you are on board, then I might have it ready around June or July. It depends on my time.

Oh, and about the pairing of the story... I'm not really focusing on that but considering this is kind of a big crossover story we can get a little crazy. So if you want you can leave a suggestion or even your OTP and I'll take it into consideration. So that's all for now, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 4: Fight in the Cafeteria

4/6 Thursday (Lovecraft High School, Girl's Dorm - Night)

Kagura Kobayashi was watching TV while eating alone in her room. She for a moment feel all alone, but also feel at peace. She sleeps with two more students in the same room, Azami Narukami, and Misaki Hanazawa. She was watching an old comedy show because there was nothing else to see right now. She was eating instant ramen because she didn't want to spend time cooking. She had a hard day, not to mention a little scary. The Art Club was known to be the place were the most creepy students hang out and just by thinking she was thrown in that club makes her shiver all over her body. She like art, but that club was not the best place to be in. After finish her dinner, Kagura lay down in her bed and stare at the ceiling, not knowing what to do... Sleep or wait until Azami come back. The door open and Misaki enter the room with a plastic bag in her left hand. Misaki had a long black hair and grey eyes, she wasn't wearing her school uniform, instead, she was wearing a leather jacket, red shirt, and jeans.

"So... You skip classes... Again" Said Kagura while staring at her eyes. Misaki smiled at her, she gives her what can only be described as a creepy smile from ear to ear. "I'm afraid to ask what were you doing so I'll only ask what's in the bag"

"It's none of your business" She answered with a playful tone.

"I'll tell your brother"

"Haha... 'I'll tell your brother'" Misaki mock Kagura. "That's how you sound. You are such a serious girl"

"And you are a crazy girl. Remind me why I'm stuck in here with you"

"No one wanted me and Ikutsuki-sensei force you to accept me. He didn't want to deal with me either"

"... Yeah... God, sometimes I wish I have a room for myself" Kagura stand up and get closer to her. "If you are staying here tonight, then you better not try anything funny while I sleep. I had enough of you"

"I can't make that promise. I love to mess with you. I mean you should've seen your face with I threatened you with my knife. That was so funny" Misaki laugh but Kagura wasn't. It was a serious matter and it looks like Misaki had a grudge against her. She didn't hurt or try anything on Azami because she knows that Azami could easily put her down if she gets angry. Azami's Persona is, for the most part, a mystery for almost all students. Azami only shows it once and it was so powerful that the teachers couldn't contain it. The Principal had to step in. Azami was a Jester, just like Kagura, but she was beyond her.

"Don't make me call Azami. We both know you won't try anything as long she's here"

"And when she's not here, we can "play" so I'll take advantage of that" Misaki take out her knife and point it at Kagura. She just sighs when she saw the knife.

"Really? We are doing this again?"

"Maybe... What are you going to do this time?"

"... (sigh) Fuck the rules then..." Kagura punches Misaki right in the face, grab her by the collar and push her against the door so hard the door break. They landed on the hallway and Misaki let go her knife in the process, as a result, she resorts to punching Kagura.

"Why don't you take out your Persona?" Misaki asks.

"I don't my Persona to kick your ass! You Psycho Shadow User!"

"At least my Shadow has more free will than your little slave"

"Kuma Lisa is not my slave. Shut the fuck up. You piss me off so much!"

They start fighting each other right on the floor but stopped almost immediately when they saw Azami standing right in front of them. She crosses her arms and gives them a disappointed look. Kagura stands up and without thinking it twice kick Misaki in the stomach. She looks at Azami in the eyes and apologizes.

"Sorry, but we both know it was going to happen"

"I don't want to hear it" She said and point at the room. "What matters to me is who's going to repair the door. I refuse to sleep in our room open to any attack from the other girls"

"Fuck the other girls. Let them try and mess with us. I'll show them what happens when they try to fuck with us" Misaki stand up and her gray eyes turn yellow.

"No, you will go back to the room and stay there. You are grounded"

"You are not my mother"

"... Do you want me to get angry? Because you are starting to piss me off, Misaki. My patience is running out" Azami's eyes turn dark and that was Misaki's signal to retreat. She turns around and goes to their room without saying another word. Azami then turns to Kagura. "Can't I leave without you two going at each other's throat?"

"Looks like not... Sorry"

"What's done it's done... Just... Help me to pick up the pieces of the door. I'll talk to a teacher tomorrow" Azami and Kagura pick up what was left of the door and leave it in a corner. Misaki lay in her bed, facing the wall. Kagura goes to her bed and did the same but Azami takes this opportunity to walk away to the hallway and take out the letter from Philemon. She opens it and read it...

Miss Azami Narukami:

I write you this letter as a response to your early proposition. For the most part, I was thinking about it and it didn't matter how long I think, there was no way I could accept you in Jung High. But after debating with some of the teachers I have decided to at least give you a chance. We don't accept Persona Users of the Jester Arcana because of their instability and higher chances of getting corrupted by their own power, but I'm willing to give you a chance. I know why you want to come... If you prove me that you are worth, then I won't have any issue with accepting you. Meet me after school in my office at Jung High. I'll be expecting you...

Jung High School's Principal, Philemon

"He's willing to accept me? I can't believe it... I'm finally out of this hell..." Azami smiles and hides the card in her pocket. She was nervous but excited too. It's been a while since she wanted to leave this school and be part of Jung. If she was lucky, then she'll be able to leave and be with Yu... But a part of her was scared. She already lost control once... Who knows what will happen a second time?

4/7 Friday (Jung High School, First Floor Hallway)

Akira was walking with Makoto and Kotone in the school's hallway on the first floor. They were heading to the classroom. Akira took this opportunity to tell them what happens to him in the infirmary and the talk he had with Mitsuru Kirijo. They both pay attention when he mentions Mitsuru's name.

"I mean, it really surprises she just comes to apologies. It was like I just saw something that might not repeat at all. Mitsuru Kirijo apologies, the "Empress", the cold-hearted queen... Can you believe it?" Akira asks them, almost excited about it.

"It's still hard to believe" Said Makoto. "Mitsuru is the kind of person that won't stop to apologize. She always says things like "Is not important" or "I don't see why should I get involved in that" those kind of things. She really focuses on her goals... Almost like a robot"

"If we are talking about robots you should see Metis. She sometimes acts like one" Said Kotone.

"I'll rather avoid her. She's too protective of Aigis for some reason" Said Makoto. "Last time I say "hi" to Aigis, Metis tackle me and threated me. She scared the shit out of me. What's her problem?"

"I know that feel... Sometimes I had the feeling that all the girls here are crazy" Akira joked. "No joke. I won't be surprised if one of them turn out to be a Yandere"

"I agree," Said Kotone, something neither Makoto or Akira were expecting.

"You agree? That's weird" Makoto ask her. "Wait. You agree with the girls being crazy or Yandere?"

"About them being crazy. I mean, Come on, you don't need to be a genius to see that most of the female students here have some issue or two. Actually, looks like half of them can't even cook or have bad grades. Those who don't are either smartasses or have a serious superiority complex" Kotone explains.

"Well, you do have a point" Akira nodded. Naoya joins them.

"Good Morning" He said politely. "What are you talking about?"

"About half of the girls in school being crazy and/or yanderes," Said Akira and Naoya look at them like they were the crazy ones.

"... I'm not going to ask how you reach that topic. Let's change that subject... I hear something from one of the teachers" Said Naoya and they listen. "Supposedly, a Lovecraft high school student is going to speak with Philemon"

"What for?" Tatsuya appears from behind. "Aren't the student from that high school banned from entering here?"

"Yes, they are. But looks like this student had a meeting with him. It will happen today after school... You want to check it out?" Naoya asks and the rest of the group look at each other. Akira shrug.

"Sure, I'm in. What about the rest?"

"Why not?" Said Makoto. "I don't have anything to do"

"I'll go to. I'm curious too"

"... Do whatever you want" Said Tatsuya. "But I'm not going with you"

"We are not forcing you" Said Naoya to Tatsuya. "I just wanted to know if you were interested"

"No" He said and Yu arrive.

"So early in the morning and Tatsuya is being negative again... Good" He said and Tatsuya stares at him with hatred.

"Shut up!"

"Fine, sheesh..." Said Yu and turn to the group. "So, another day, another class together... Isn't it exciting?" Yu said sarcastically and from behind the group a student crosses his arms and call them out.

"It'll be more exciting if the future Wild Cards take their lectures more seriously," He said. The group of Wild Cards turns to the voice and they saw Kei Nanjo looking at them with disappointment. "You six are nothing more than a mediocre group of Persona Users ready to blow up. With the exception of two of you, the rest is a group of the most pathetic outcast I've ever seen"

"Is that so?" Said Tatsuya. "Come closer and say it to our faces"

"Such a rude troublemaker you are, Tatsuya Suou. Understand the position you are in. You are lucky to even be here. Principal Philemon kept you here because he didn't want you to end up in the rival school like some of the students that got expelled before"

"Kei... Can you stop?" Naoya asks. "We were going to our classroom"

"I just wanted to make sure that you were alright. When I hear about the other Persona Users that will be with you the rest of the year I start to question me if you'll be okay by yourself in that class full of troublemakers"

"Don't call us troublemakers" Said Makoto. "We are not"

"Really? Let see... We have a troublemaker that only cares about himself and avoid class at all cost, an emo that sleeps in class, a girl who fights anyone who's not on her good side and a buffoon that only jokes around and don't take anything seriously... Yeah, this group has a great future ahead... Only Naoya and Narukami are worth as a wild cards... The rest don't deserve that power. I bet you'll end up killing yourself with it" Nanjo criticize the group. Tatsuya wants to hit him and Akira only remain quiet. Naoya and Yu didn't want to be compared to the rest and as for Makoto and Kotone, the shrug it off easily.

"... Did you finish?" Kotone asks. "I don't care what you think"

"Me neither" Said Makoto. "Out of the way. We are running late"

"... Get out of my sight" Kei get out of the way and they all leave. Naoya stops in front of Kei.

"... You don't deserve to be the Student Council President with that shitty attitude, Nanjo"

"I'll win because I'm the more suitable to be President... When I take over the Nanjo Group... A lot of things will change"

"..." Naoya leave and Kei was left alone in the hallway...

(Jung High School, Music Club)

Labrys close the door behind her, she locks it and turns to see her "team" that will help her to win the Student Council Election. Inside of the Music Club was Aigis, Metis, Yosuke Hanamura and Yusuke Kitagawa. She stands in front of them and starts the meeting.

"You all know why I brought you all here" She said and Yosuke sighed.

"I don't really like where this is actually going, Labrys" He said. "Why can't you just let things be?"

"I won't do such a thing knowing that Kirijo and Nanjo are in the mix. You all know what I want... I want them out"

"And what you need us for?" Yusuke asks. "I doubt we'll be of much use"

"That's where you are wrong Kitagawa. Each one of you has a mission. All of you will sabotage all my competence" Labrys said with a happy face and Aigis didn't like the idea at all, Metis didn't really care, Yosuke wasn't on board and Yusuke just nodded.

"I see... But isn't this cheating? I'm not comfortable with this" Said Yusuke.

"Kitagawa, if you do then I'll take you to a buffet of all-you-can-eat"

"... I'll do my best then!"

"Wait! Don't buy him with food!" Yosuke yells. "You can't expect us to do that!"

"Well... There's that or searching something "dirty" about them. But that's even harder" She said and Metis raise her hand. "Yes, sis"

"I hear a nasty rumor about Nanjo-senpai. It might work in our favor" Said Metis and Labrys smile. "Still, I need to confirm if it's actually true"

"That's something that will be useful to know!" She said.

"So... Are we really going to do this?" Yosuke asks.

"Yes. Aigis, you try to find some nasty rumor about Kirijo, if you can't then sabotage her campaign. Metis do the same with Nanjo, Yosuke you will help her. Yusuke... You help me out" Labrys tell them the plan, but Yosuke wasn't on board. He still had a problem with it.

"I'm not doing this. You can't make me"

"... You know that I'm friends with Rise, right? I'll get you a VIP ticket for her next concert"

"..." Yosuke stares at Labrys and sigh. "That's not fair... Fine... But you better not be lying!"

(Jung High School, Special Classroom)

The class was in complete silence. Igor was sitting at his desk and five persons, including Elizabeth, were standing in front of the class. Next to Elizabeth were a tall older women, a young man, and two little girls. All of them share the same trait, platinum blond hair and yellow eyes. They were wearing blue uniforms and each one had a big book in their hands. Elizabeth was playing with hers, passing the pages and chuckling. Naoya was surprised to see those kinds of people in front of him. Tatsuya wasn't really paying attention but he couldn't stop staring at the man in the middle of the three girls, he didn't trust him. Makoto stare at Elizabeth, he had the feeling that Elizabeth was about to do something. Kotone stares at the man, like Tatsuya did but for a different reason... She was feeling a little attraction toward him. Yu was looking at the older woman, she was obviously the more mature of the group and he found himself a little curious. Akira look at the two little girls and the only thing he could think was: "What are two little girls doing here? This is getting weird".

"Now, let me introduce you all to my assistants. They help me to train, assist and teach the Wild Cards to control their power" Igor explain. "They are also Persona Users, but their power highly exceeds yours. So when I told you to not provoke a fight, I mean it... Now then, introduce yourself to the class" He turns to the group and the girl next to Elizabeth was the first to speak.

"My name is Margareth. It's a pleasure to guide you all in your journey" Margareth introduce herself and then the man comes next.

"I'm Theodore, Nice to meet you..." He looks at Kotone in the eyes. "But you can call me Theo if you want" Kotone blush and hit her head against her desk.

"... Well, we lost her now" Said Makoto. Then the two girls, that appear to be twins, move forward. They both had an eyepatch, but one had it in her right eye and the other in her left eye.

"I'm Caroline so you better remember it well if you want me to beat you up" Said the girl with the eyepatch covering her right eye.

"And my name is Justine... I expect great things from you all" Said the other twin.

"Well, at least we know which one is the evil twin" Said Akira. "Am I right, guys?" Makoto covers his mouth because he didn't want to laugh in front of them. Akira didn't have the time to laugh, Caroline walks to his desk and hit him with her baton right in the head, knocking him out.

"Holy shit!" Said Makoto. "Are you crazy!?"

"You were about to laugh too! I saw you!" Caroline raises her baton, pointing at Makoto's head.

"No! I wasn't going to! I swear!"

"... Yeah... I thought so..." Caroline goes back with her twin. "Coward"

"Dude... What did we get ourselves into?" Tatsuya whisper to Naoya. "They look scary as fuck!"

"I know... Just be quiet. Let's see where this is going" He answers.

"Alright, class... Today I'm going to teach you how to make a successful fusion..." Said Igor and stand up. A deck of Tarot cards appears on the table. "Shall we begin?"

(Lovecraft High School, Cafeteria)

Azami sits all by herself in the cafeteria. She looks down at her silver tray and looks at her food. Just a bottle of water and a bowl of noodles. She sighs and grabs her chopsticks. She was about to eat when Kagura sit next to her. In her tray, she had a bowl with only rice. They eat in silence for a couple of seconds before Azami speak up.

"... If by any chance... I leave this school... What will you do?" She asks and Kagura shrug.

"I'll find someone else to spend my time with... and kill Misaki in the process. I don't know, I'm young I'll figure it out" She answers.

"Yeah... I thought you'll say that..."

"Why the question? Are you planning on leaving?" Kagura asks, a little worried about her. "It's because of me? I can change you know. Don't you dare to leave me with this psychopaths, I won't last five minutes with them. I need someone that's not batshit crazy! I refuse to become one of them!"

"But you said you'll figure it out"

"Oh come on! You really believe it!? We both know that I won't last with Misaki around. She's messing with me every time she can and I think she wants me dead" At that moment Misaki appear with her twin brother, Naoki. They both sit down with them. Naoki had black hair, a pair of glasses and instead of the usual uniform he wears the PE uniform.

"... I hope you weren't talking about me" Said Misaki. "I would never hurt a good friend of mine"

"Go fuck yourself!" Kagura yells at her.

"I'll rather let you fuck me instead" Misaki and Kagura stand up and were about to fight, but Naoki hit the table.

"Can you both stop!?" Naoki asks and they stop discussing and sit down again. "Thank you... God, I can't believe is like this every single day we are together. Can't you two get along?" He asks but there was no response from them. "Yeah... It's too much to ask, I know" They then start to eat in silence but it didn't last long. Tadashi Nikaido passes by and hit Naoki at the back of his head. "Ow!"

"Oh, sorry nerd. I wasn't looking" Kaido smirk. Misaki stands up and grabs Kaido's hand.

"Apologize now, fucker" She said.

"I already did"

"You were lying... Do it now or I take your eyes out"

"Misaki, leave him be. It's not a big deal" Said Naoki and continue to eat his lunch.

"I'm not afraid of you and the rest of the "Losers club", you know. You four are the worst things that has happen to this school" Kaido spit on the table, near Kagura's tray. "Persona Users... You all are worthless"

"At least we don't rely on a fucking computer to use our powers" Said Kagura. "That's for losers who don't have real power" She made fun of Nikaido's lack of actual power without his device, something that even Misaki wouldn't do. Mainly because Misaki was no match for him if he gets angry and wants to fight.

"Oh really?" Kaido shakes off Misaki's hand and takes out his COMP. "Want to test my power, Kobayashi?" Without warning, he summons his demon, Pazuzu. As soon Pazuzu appears in the Cafeteria, all the students run away. Pazuzu was a really powerful demon and Nikaido was one of the stronger Devil Summoner in the school, not to mention a bully that doesn't care who he hurts to get what he wants. Kagura stands up and her hand reaches her face.

"Kagura... Don't do it" Azami beg her. "Kagura... Don't you dare!" Kagura didn't listen. Her hand produces a blue flame and a white mask appear on her face. She rips it out and her Persona, Kuma Lisa appear, it was an anthropomorphic fox wearing a white Cravat blouse with red Cravat tie and black skirt. Azami grab her tray and get away from the table, Naoki did the same and Misaki slowly walk away, she prepares for anything. Kuma Lisa, the Trickster Fox of the woods launch at Pazuzu and push him to the ground. The battle start sooner than expected and half of the students run away, but the other half stay and watch the fight, some of them even take out their cell phone and record the fight.

Naoki runs away with his tray in his hands, he was trying to not throw his food away. Misaki grabs him by his arm and takes him to a corner. Azami runs to the exit door and stays there. She leaves her tray on the floor and waits. She wanted to help but was afraid to lose control of her power. Kuma Lisa punch Pazuzu multiple times in the face, but Pazuzu didn't seem like he was receiving any damage. Pazuzu uses Garudyne and throws Kuma Lisa away, she ends up hitting the wall and breaking it. Kagura cough and feel a deep pain in her back. Any damage that Kuma Lisa receive, she feels it multiplied by 10. Kuma Lisa was weak to Physical attacks, any kind of physical attacks. Kagura force Kuma Lisa to stand up and raise her hands.

"What are you going to do know?" Nikaido asks and Kagura yell.

"Grydyne!" She yells slap her hands on her floor. Kuma Lisa did the same and both Pazuzu and Nikaido were pushed against the floor for the force of Gravity crushing them. "Who's laughing now!?" Nikaido reaches his COMP and summons another demon.

"Basilisk!" A reptile that resembles a dinosaur appear out of the Grydyne range and run toward Kagura. She cancels her attack and dodges Basilisk's bite if she didn't dodge she would be dead by now. Basilisk then hit her with his head and launch her into a wall. Kagura hit the wall so hard she breaks a rib. Despite that, she stands up and was about to attack, but Basilisk's eyes turn from green to yellow and Kagura found herself unable to move. She was paralyzed. Nikaido stands up and summons another demon beside the two he already had. He summons Nalagiri. "... Finish her off!" He commands his three demons to attack at the same time.

"Nikaido, no!" Naoki yells and runs to him. He tackle him, but his demons didn't stop the attack. Azami stands between Kagura and the demons. She took a deep breath and was about to summon her Persona to protect her... But before she could even have the opportunity to summon, a Shadow appear in front of her and slash the demons, killing them in the act. Nikaido's eyes widen when he saw the killer of his demons.

"Kazuya... Minegishi..." He said and the blue-haired boy turns to Azami, he gently pushes her away and touches Kagura in the forehead, ending the effect of the paralysis. Kagura falls to her knees and got desperate to breathe. He then walks to Nikaido and without warning kick him right in the stomach, taking advantage that he was already on the floor thanks to Naoki.

"... Don't mess with them again. Hurt them and I'll let Samael feast on your flesh..." Kazuya gives him an ultimatum and saw the rest of the students that were either recording or just seen from a safe distance. He takes a step forward and all of them leave the cafeteria. All of them were obviously scared of him. "... I was not going to hurt them at all..." Kagura starts coughing violently and Azami helps her to breathe. Naoki and even Misaki went to check on her.

"Kagura, calm down. Look at me. Take a deep breath and let it out. Keep calm" Kazuya was about to join them, but stop midway. He just looks at them from the distance. Naonoticesice Kazuya standing so far away and call him.

"Kazuya... You came back-" He said but Kazuya interrupts him.

"Whatever, just don't get in troubles again..." He walks away. "Don't follow me either... I'm not worth your damn time..." He leaves and only them and Nikaido were left in the Cafeteria.

"Who he think he is? The rule of the world of something to act so mighty" Misaki asks.

"... He saves me... So he still cares..." Said Kagura. They remain quiet but didn't last. Nyarlathotep enters the Cafeteria and looks around the mess they had made. He nods with calm and smile at the group.

"Yes, nothing we can't deal with. Don't worry... Still, you four will come to my office immediately... Of course, that includes you, Takeshi Nikaido!" He turns to Nikaido who was still on the floor. "But still, this isn't a surprise... The Group of Losers is now officially on my black list"

"... Can we talk about this, Principal?" Naoki asks with a genuine fear of his upcoming punishment.

"No, we can't... Stand up and prepare because when I'm done with you four, you'll wish to never be born. Also, you'll stay after school to clean this mess"

"B-But, Principal I have to-" Azami didn't want to stay. She needs to go to speak with Philemon. Nyarlathotep grabs her by the throat and his face was five centimeters away from her. She could sense a dark energy coming out of him as he smiles like a crazy man.

"You have business to attend to? Then they are canceled... If you by any chance run away, I'll find you and torture you myself" He let go of her and Azami fall to the ground gasping for air. "Anyone else wants to speak up?" The entire group shakes their heads. "Good... Now, I'll count to five and I want you all running to my office... 1!" As soon he starts to count, the entire group run away. Nyarlathotep laughs maniacally and grabs Nikaido by his sleeve, he then proceeds to drag him to his office. "I love when they are that scared of me..."

This chapter was going to be longer, but I had to cut some things that I didn't like or either didn't match the story. So, what do you think?
