Yay chapter 4 is here. Since I started typing this up on Sunday I decided to finish it today. Busy with school work, so it's going to be for a while till I post the next few chapters. Then I'll work out the rest of it.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERSONA 3/FES/PORTABLE. THE ONLY THING I OWN IS MY OCs' AND A COPY OF THEIR GAME P3P. NOTHING MORE!

On with the story... WHEE Now Minato and Minako will finally summon their personae yay! Cheers for all! Sorry if you wanted my OC to summon her persona you gonna have to wait till they finally get to explore Tartarus.

~April 9, 2009, Thursday, Early Morning~

As Minato and Minako woke up they wonder if they saw was a dream. Was it really a dream... they thought. But shrugged it off and continued to school. As my usual routine: wake up, brush teeth, change, quick breakfast, and leave. Nothing more to explain.

~Gekkoukan Gates~

As the twins approached the school, Junpei called after them feeling all hyped up out of something.

"Hey, what's up! Man, today is the perfect day! The sky is blue... We're young... What more could we ask for!"

"Wow Junpei you're full of energy today," Minako smiled happily at the capped teen. Minato, who looked at him and went back to his music, after saying 'chill out.'

"Of course! And dude not cool," he fist punched the air then glared at Minato, but shrugged it off since he's too happy to be angry right now. "So listen to this... Oh, wait! I'm not supposed to say anything. Sorry dudes." With that he apologized and chuckled.

"You got my hopes up for no reason, Junpei," Minako pouted crossing her arms together in a playful manner.

"Sorry, Mina-tan maybe I'll tell you someday," and then the bell rang so they headed off to class.

~Morning~

Mr. Ekoda, our Classic Literature teacher. The boring old man, who I like to call him as cuz he is really boring you could fall asleep in there. "Ahem... I'm Mr. Ekoda. I'll be teaching you Classic Literature. I'll be teaching you about good old Japan all year. Some people say Classic Lit. isn't relevant to everyday life, but oh, how they're wrong! Hey... Are you listening to me?" I was tired with this talking so I decided to go to sleep.

~Afternoon~

I don't have practice today so I decided to go back early and maybe study most of the time.

~Dark Hour, Command Room~

I'm up in the command room monitoring the two with Mitsuru-sempai and Yukari again. "How are they doing?" The Chairmen asked about the test subject.

"...The same as last night." Mitsuru answered.

"Hmm... Very interesting." He sat into one of the single sofas. "Even those who have the potential tend to be unstable at first... Memory loss... disorientation... But, this subject is rather unique. They haven't exhibited any of the common symptoms."

"But... we're treating them like guinea pigs," much to Yukari's dislike. I agree. I don't like spying on people even though it is my job as a persona-user to gain information and recruit people who have the potential which is really rare. Why can't they just try to summon their personas like if it was test or something?

"I understand your concern, but it's imperative that we recruit new members. I heard they are your classmates. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be working with someone from the same grade?" Ikutsuki pushed her.

"Yeah, but still..." Yukari trailed off on to be formed with the beeping noise.

"Command Room, Mitsuru speaking," Mitsuru spoke through the microphone. "...Is that you, Akihiko?" She called out.

"You're not gonna believe this...! This thing is huge! Unfortunately, I don't have time to talk... It's chasing me... I wanted to let you guys know. I'm almost there." Akihiko-sempai said through the ear piece while running.

Everyone in the room let out a quick gasp, Yukari panicked the most. "Does that mean... he's bringing that thing here?"

"Mr. Chairman!" Mitsuru and I stood out of our chair. "Let's suspend our observation for now. We'll prepare for battle!"

"...R-Right! Be careful!" Ikutsuki panicked.

~Lounge~

We all ran downstairs to the lounge to find Akihiko-sempai sitting on the ground gripping his left arm which is bleeding. Blood even trickled down his forehead, so I was the one who bandaged him up since I was the only one who brought the first aid kit. It was hard to get the rest of the blood off since they were sticking on most of his clothing.

"Akihiko!" Mitsuru exclaimed in a worried tone as she comes closer. Yukari ran over to help, "Sempai!"

"Agh...!" He grunted in pain as we tried to help him.

"I'm alright. Get ready to be surprised... It'll be here any second." Sempai being amused by whatever the hell attacked him.

"This is no time to joke around!" Mitsuru scolded in an angry tone.

"It's one of them, Akihiko?" The Chairman pitched in, if it was the shadow that attacked him.

"Yes, but not an ordinary one-" He was then interrupted by a loud bashing noise from outside the dorm.

"Uh! What the...? ...You've gotta be kidding me!" Yukari exclaimed panic in her voice as she shook in fear.

"Mr. Chairman, please head for the command room!" Mitsuru ordered pulling out her evoker. "Takeba, go upstairs and wake them up! Then, escape out the back. Hikari, I want you to go with her."

"But, what about you two?" Yukari, still with her shaky tone spoke in concern.

"We'll stop it here. You led it to us, Akihiko, so I'm afraid you'll have to fight," Mitsuru ordered.

"Tch. Like I had a choice," he was frustrated at the decision. "What are you waiting for? Yukari! Naomi! Go!"

"I-I'm going!" We said in unison and ran up the stairs retrieving weapons just in case and going to the Arisatos' rooms on the second and third floor. This is the worst night ever. Remind me to never get into situations that involves anything life threatening. Really, this is the worst night ever. Yukari went for Minato while I went to Minako.

Seeing that Minato and Minako were awoken by the commotion they dressed up in their school uniforms until we gave them a loud knock on the door. Well more of banging on the door.

~Arisatos' Room~

"Wake up!" Without waiting for anyone to open the door we decided to barge in ourselves. "Sorry I'm coming in!"

"I don't have time to explain. We have to get out of here, now!" Somehow Yukari and I said that at the same time. But that's not important right now. These two's lives are in danger and it's my job to protect these two. Yukari to since she wasn't able to summon her persona at all, yet. They asked what's going on, but we said we have no time to explain again.

"Hurray! Downstairs! We'll leave at the back door! Yukari and Minato might be waiting for us there! Oh before I forget, hold on to this," I handed Minako a Naginata and I bet Yukari already gave the short one-handed sword to Minato already.

~Lounge Back Entrance~

We had the Arisatos' with us. Each holding a weapon: Yukari with the bow and arrow, Minato with a short one-hand sword, Minako with a Naginata, and me in the usual fan and sword. "Alright, we should be safe now-" Yukari said, but was interrupted by a beeping noise on our ear piece.

"Takeba, Hikari, can you both hear me?" Mitsuru spoke through the ear piece.

"Loud and clear Sempai," I said calmly.

"Y-Yeah I hear you," Yukari stuttered

"Listen! Be careful! There's more than one enemy! Apparently, the one we are fighting isn't the one Akihiko saw," Mitsuru warned us.

"What?" Yukari exclaimed.

Suddenly louder banging was heard, making us back up a bit. Great, just what I need. The shadow that's after us are trying to break down the door to suck our brains dry till they are raisins or try to kill us. Either way we are doomed for all we know. How do we go against something so big anyway?

"Wah! Let's pull back," Yukari pulled Minato as I pulled Minako.

We were on the second floor when crashing sounds was made. Of course Yukari panicked. I was the calm one. It's not like every day I go through life threatening crap all night. I'm always fighting alongside with Akihiko when it comes to training on the nights we go out.

"What are we going to do...? They're downstairs!"

"We don't have any other choice! We have to go further up! Quick! Up to the rooftop!" I ordered as everyone trailed behind as the creature climbs up.

~Rooftop~

When we are at the top Yukari locked the door while I stood on guard. Worst shit ever. Why are we even going through this? Not my lucky day. But it's odd that it's a full moon now. Time goes by when you aren't looking up at the moon. What's happening? Minato and Minako both thought worriedly at the same time. Why did they make us hold a weapon? Is it that life threatening? They contemplated at the idea of what they are up against. Whatever they were against, it's something not really nice.

"I think we are safe," Yukari turned her head a bit.

Even though we thought we will be safe we heard grunting and squishing noises. A few hands rested on the edge as a hand with a blue mask showed itself with a Roman numeral 1 on it (as in I). Once it found us, it lifted the rest of its arms with multiple swords in each hand. It charged after us, its hand swaying like a maniac.

"Those monsters, we call them Shadows. That's right I have to fight," Yukari said pulling her gun out and placing it on her forehead.

"Wait, Yukari!" Minako screamed to think she was crazy for suicide.

She hesitated, panting heavily, she was knocked down from a blue, swirling blast that the masked shadow threw using its swords. Yukari's evoker slid all the way to where Minato's feet is. He picked it up holding it close to his chest. Then a voice echoed through his head. "Go on."

~Command Room~

Mitsuru, Akihiko, and The Chairman scanned every room till they reached to the rooftop. "There!" Akihiko was relieved that they are still okay. He is still worried since the huge shadow was up there with them. So, the seniors got out of their chair to go save them.

"Wait," The chairman called to them calmly, the glint in his glasses to show that he was serious, that he wants to know if they could summon their personae. The seniors gasp at him for such a decision, but complied.

~Rooftop (I swear, tedious storyline these days, especially, when you are actually playing it. The only thing you could do was answer some stuff before you could actually control the MC)~

Crap. The shadow charged towards me in lighting speed. I took my evoker out, but the shadow was too fast and knocked my gun all the way to where Minako's feet was also, knocking me down at the process to. Shit. Not a good sign. Is this it? Just when I needed my weapons, they had to fly out of my hands and over the ledge. Same goes for Yukari's bow. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact.

"Can you do it?" The voice said placing his 'L' shaped fingers on his temple. It was the same boy that appeared during the Dark Hour who made them signed a contract. Minato placed the evoker on the side of his head, breathing heavily, he smirk, calm as a flower.

"Per... so... na," pulling the trigger a sound of shattered glass broke through the air and swirled around Minato, he had a demonic look on his face as everyone looked startled at the action.

"Thou art I... and I am thou... From the sea of thy soul, I cometh. I am Orpheus the master of strings," said a silver and blue metallic being, with a red scarf, with a lyre on its back, speakers on its stomach, and his eyes glowing red.

~Command Room~

"As we suspected," Mitsuru calmly visualized the monitored screen. Akihiko just watched silently at the scene.

~Rooftop (I'm a bit annoyed by the transition from the rooftop to the command room now.)~

Somehow Minato lost control and fell to his knees. He screamed in agony over the bursting headache. Minako called to her brother and lifted the evoker that slid by her foot to her head. She clenched her fist near her chest. For my brother and my friends' sake, Minako yelled in her head.

"Per... so... na," she hesitantly called out pulling the trigger, with the same shattering glass, Minako looks like she's in pain than being demonic.

This time it was a female version of Orpheus, but she called herself Eurydice. It had long brown hair, red scarf, gold and white metallic body, heart shape lyre, and speakers. Minako also screamed in pain falling to her knees as Orpheus and Eurydice came together creating into a persona with a sword, several coffins chained to its body as they floating across its back, its head looks like a skull of a dinosaur, and clad in black and silver. It attacked the shadow without mercy, holding on of the shadows squirming arm as it destroyed it. Then the arm decapitate to black smoke. The coffin carrying persona let out a terrifying roar and turned back to its original forms.

"Is it over?" Yukari squirmed at the sight until more squishing noise was made. "What the...! Get away from me," she screamed as she was attacked by the smaller shadows that was left off from the bigger one.

"Ah damn it just when my weapons are out of reach," I said frustrated ready for my brain to be sucked dry again.

Minato and Minako decided to do a double strike on each shadow. Orpheus used bash, while Minako used her naginata. Once they are defeated their vision started to blur. When they fell over, we ran towards them.

"Are you okay?" Yukari called out, trying to get an answer. None. "Come on...! Say something!"

~Command Room~

Mitsuru-sempai didn't know what to say. The chairman was lost for words too. Akihiko-sempai was the only one to say some along the lines of 'what the hell was that?' But that wasn't important right now.

"We need to get them to a hospital," I barked my orders and they all agreed through the communicator.

~Rooftop~

Akihiko and Mitsuru ran up to retrieve the unconscious twins. "Are you guys alright!" Akihiko asked picking up Minako.

"Can you hear me? Please...! Answer me!" Yukari, still trying to wake Minato up, but of no use he still won't wake up. So Mitsuru and I had to pick up Minato and take them to the hospital at Tatsumi Memorial Hospital across from the station on Tatsumi Island.
