Daichi: Satoko's Persona, Anubis, will specialize in instant death skills, and little else. Good thing she can turn into a Lucario...

Verity: We don't own these things. The only things we own are most of the people in Satoko's class.

The next morning, Ms. Erufi rapped on the door of her newest student. "Satoko-chan, you're going to be late, on your first day!"

Inside the room, Satoko looked from her hands, to the remains of the alarm clock, and back again. "Ms. Erufi, I think my clock is broken."

"Did you forget to set the alarm?"

"No, it went off, but... it's broken." Note to self, no more punching alarm clocks. Especially not when you have a power that amplifies said punches.

"... You hit the snooze button too hard?" Something told her that this had happened before, albeit not due to these powers.

"Yeah, let's... Let's go with that."

"Hello, everyone, I'm Kiba Gori, and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next year!" This young woman had deep green hair, and her look was frightening. "This year we have a new transfer student. Go on, introduce yourself." Satoko looked over her new class. Hair of all the colors of the rainbow, they all sat in already agreed upon groups. She had no idea how she would fit in.

"Hello, I'm Satoko Taraki. I like martial arts and adventure. I especially like adventures involving martial arts." She dipped her head quickly. "It is nice to meet you all."

"You can sit next to... ah, Seta-san. He transferred here last semester, so you can get along nicely."

Going to her seat, Satoko saw that the boy next to her had silver hair. He looked up for a second, as though he were just then registering her existence, and then turned back to his book.

"Um... are you going to say anything?" An almost imperceptible shake of the head. "This is nothing like my last school."

At lunch, Satoko followed the boy, until he turned around.

"Why are you following me?"

"I don't know anyone here. I was running late, so I don't even know the girls in my dorm."

A sigh. "You're persistent, I give you that much. Taraki, right?" She nodded. "Souji Seta. Don't wear it out, okay?"

She grinned. "It's good to meet you, Seta-san." Souji groaned.

"What have I gotten myself into?"

"Don't worry, I don't Bite. Well, I do, but... what? Delcatty got your tongue?"

"Who... who are you?"

"I'm just Satoko."

After school, Satoko dragged Souji with her. "Taraki-san, where are you taking me?"

"I want to check out the local mall. Paulownia, right?"

He nodded, "That's right, but... why are you bringing me?"

"Because that's what you do with friends, silly! Come on, Seta, time's a-waistin'!"

A few minutes later, they were sitting at a table with ice cream in front of them. Souji didn't seem pleased.

"We have homework, you know."

"You mean that 'tell me about yourself' worksheet? I could fill that out in five minutes. Actually..." She pulled out the paper and a pen and scribbled the answers down. "Done! Now, to the ice cream!" She grabbed a spoon and dug in. "It's good. Seta-san, you have to try this!"

He took a bite. "You're right. It is good." Some of the other kids in their class walked by.

"Hey, Momo-kun, did the new girl just get Seta to speak to her?"

"Wow, Runa-chan, you're right! I never thought anyone could get through to that guy. How did she do it?"

"Momo-kun, Runa-san, I don't think we should disturb them."

"I know, Keiti-san, but she managed to get Seta to talk to her. That deserves a reward!"

Satoko glanced at the conversation. "Friends of yours?" He shook his head. "Fans, then?"

"What makes you think that?" Souji asked.

She closed her eyes. "I like to think of myself as a fairly good judge of people, but I can't read you, for some reason. It's like you just can't settle on one thing. It's a novelty, and you know how we students love novelties." He went quiet. "Too good?"

"Replace thing with place, and... My parents are overseas for this next year, have been since last semester, and they put me in the first place they found with dorms. I don't like planes, and they travel a lot, so..."

"What's wrong with planes?"

"You wouldn't believe me."

She shrugged. "Tell me why you don't like planes, and I'll tell you a secret."

"Sometimes, the sky turns green and nothing electronic works. I never see anyone else during that time, and it's normally okay, but... if I were in a plane..." She winced.

"Wait, the sky turns green? Like it did last night?"

"You saw it, too?"

She nodded. "Yeah."

"Was that the secret you were going to tell me?"

"No! Come on!" She dragged him away from the table, ice cream all but forgotten. Once they reached the corner, she held out her hands, and a blue light formed between them.

"What's that?"

"I call it Aura Sphere. It's a power I have."

"Think I could do it?"

She looked thoughtful for a moment. "No. I can sense too much tumult in your soul."

"What does that even mean?"

"It means you need to settle down, make friends, eat ice cream..." She trailed off for a moment. "Maybe save the world..."

"Me, save the world? I'd never be able to do that!"

"You don't know unless you try! Give it, say, three years or so, and you'll be able to do it in no time!" He still looked doubtful. "Come on, it's not that hard."

"What, are you a super-villain and I just have to defeat you?"

"No! Maybe you could help me look for someone. Have you seen a golden fox or pink cat around anywhere?" He shook his head. "I guess it can't always be that easy."

"...What have I gotten myself into?"

"Welcome to my world, Seta-san. Trust me, you haven't seen anything yet."
