How everything would have went_
After the meeting, Satomi and Minato get to talking and bring up the possible that an adventure might run into a shadow with no escape or means to fight back.
Minato tries to create charms that would help people fight against Shadows as a stop gate measure until a more permanent solution can be found. He succeeds showing Satomi he can create stuff from nothing.
Satomi asks Minato what his limit on creating stuff was, when he said he doesn't know they experiment and see if he could create the pseudo Basilicom one of their followers has been designing. With reluctance Minato agrees.
He partially succeeds, but some stuff is off and Minato faints with a nose bleed. Deux Ex explains that his body isn't ready to use that much power of the universe arcana yet and that he should practice on smaller stuff first.
Minato recovers and discovers that while most of the newly created pseudo Basilicom is workable then need to do some maintenance before it's up to standards i.e. install pluming.
Soon the Magician Shadow Appears again, this time in Leanbox all the goddesses of the Hyper-Dimension go with Minato to combat it. When they arrive Neptune and Nepgear confront The Magician, since Yuuma was a citizen of Planeptune, Magician smirks at them and say that the stagnated era of the goddesses will come to an end and that he has been reborn into Magi, emissary of the first Arcana.

They're about to attack when they're surrounded by several giant shadows, smaller shadows start spawning from the giant ones as a laugh starts to echo around the area.
From behind our heroes appears a woman wearing what can only be described as a fusion between a shrine maiden's robes and a business suit. She introduces herself as Priestess to her allies, your Highness to her enemies, emissary of the second Arcana.

Clothes are two colours
Shadow infused form: a hooded woman with a mask with yellow eyes and the roman 2 (II) over the eyes. Drone like shadows circle around her to provide attacks.
She sits back and watches the shadows and magi fight our heroes, the fight is mostly a stalemate until a beam of light reflected off a weapon's surface hits Priestess directly in the eyes. Causing her to lose focus and concentration causing all the attacking shadows to stop moving and left defenceless.
After the normal shadows are dealt with, one of our heroes point out that Priestess was directly controlling those shadows.
They attack magi and priestess at the same time, realising priestess is horrible at fight directly herself, Minato mentions that even though the priestess is mostly aligned with healing magic they do have better combat skills then what priestess is showing.
Priestess has a few Shadows go kamikaze to buy her and magi enough time to escape. The plan works and they both escape.
They discuss things among themselves for a bit until one of them realize that someone was filming them, the one filming them was a random civilian who had arrived in the middle of the fight.
After they make sure the civilian is ok they ask them if they could delete the video or at least hold off on showing it to anyone. The civilian shifts awkwardly as they explain that the video was on a live stream.
They then return to their respected lands to prepare press releases about the shadows and the Ascenders.
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes. Which includes Minato helping Nepgear move a sleeping Neptune, helping IF with a mission that brings some bad memories from before she meet Neptune and Compa, helping Mina entertain Rom and Ram as Blanc gets a few minute sleep and Minato somehow getting talked into dressing up in a dress by Vert and Chika, followed by Red showing up and mistaking Minato for a girl for a moment before realising he was male on her own. Though Red does develop a scheming gleam in her eyes.
Magi and Priestess are fighting over whose fault it is that made them lose until a flirty voice gets them to stop.
Skip a few days in which the public is dealing with the news given by the Basilicom and Minato started creating charms to help normal people resist and fight shadows. Satomi, along with her aunt and uncle admit that even if he constantly makes these things none stop there will not be enough for everyone.
Meanwhile, Gamindustri crime rates shy rockets causing unrest with the public. The perpetrators seem to be mostly adventurers and guild members with the odd civilian showing up now and again. The strange thing is that when their caught they either have no memories of the last few days or have expressions belonging to love sick puppies.
Noire passes a long a message stating that someone is hypnotising people. She learned it from a mentally drained adventure that had one of Minato's charm on them.
People are sent to investigate this matter only for them to come back ready to attack any of our heroes.
Minato teleports to Lastation to speak to Noire only to find that a mob of adventurers are chasing her, Minato catches up to her and asks what's going on. Apparently, the person hypnotising people didn't take too kindly to her looking for them and sent this mob after her. When Noire mentions that they keep calling the person who hypnotised beloved Empress a theory appeared in Minato's mind.
When Noire said beloved, Minato looked at the people and realised that they weren't simply hypnotised but Charmed.
Minato and Noire begin de-charming everyone and luckily they all calm down.
They set out to question everyone only to discover everyone, with varying degrees, has memory loss.
Mina sends a message warning the others of this while Minato returns home to village 22.
The next day, Minato is walking around when Red comes up to him.
After a long and elaborate speech, she enlists Minato in her efforts to get more Waifus, the logic being Minato will attract them and she'll capture all their flags (Dating sim reference) the fact Minato could pass for a girl works as well because "a large harem will need at least one trap"
Before Minato could decline a flirty voice called out to Minato, Minato turned around and swore for a moment he saw Mitsuru until on closer inspection realised it was someone who just looked like Mitsuru.
The mysterious woman introduces herself as Ilona Folas and asked Minato out on a date, Minato was confused why this woman would suddenly ask him out when he realised she tried to Charm him.
When she realises he wasn't affected she mentions magi was right about Minato being somewhat resistant to Charm magic.
Minato joins the dots and proclaims the mysterious woman is the one hypnotising people and that she's working with the ascenders.
Ilona smirks as she confirmed it was her and that she is the emissary of the third Arcana, Empress.

Empress tries to Charm Red to fight Minato but Red is shown for having a powerful resistance to the Charm spell.
Empress panics and morphs into her shadow infused form to escape from Minato and Red, they try to chase after her but some more of her victims blocked the path.
After the victims were de-charmed. Red vows to stop Empress from what's she's doing, seeing the fire in Red's eyes Minato gives her a charm to help her combat the shadows.
Red and Minato part ways as he informs the others about what's happening.
Empress on the other was with Magi and Priestess trying to get them to help, they barely paid attention to Empress and asked why she just doesn't use her sleeper agents, she explains that those are for later.
An arrogant voice shouts over the shadow group proclaiming it was their time to shine.
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes. Minato is enlisted as Compa's assistant, Noire's cosplay wardrobe is discovered during a meeting with Minato, Satomi, Noire, Kei and Uni. Blanc, Mina and Minato discuss books, Vert managed to get Minato to help her with shopping, Minato somehow gets involved in a business deal involving MAGES, Gust and a metric ton worth of raw materials being stolen by clowns.
Sometime later, several people are openly protesting everyone in any position of power and are generally demanding for the current society to be torn down a and new one be made in its place where the brightest and strongest rule. It has also caused a sharp rise in bullying in all age groups.
Our heroes suspect that this is the work of another ascended member using their shadow abilities, Minato mentions that since every human/shadow hybrid has been appearing in order of arcana then the current one would be the Emperor.
A message is sent through the news warning our heroes that if they don't show up at a certain location then many civilians will be killed. They go to the location and an ambiguous-gendered person, who identifies as male, introduces themselves as the emissary of the fourth Arcana, Emperor.

Our heroes get a message on their phones from Keimu, they explain they convinced under a hundred civilians to attack various places across the world. They also state their surprise so few went through with the attack but quickly dismisses and warns our heroes that they will try better next time.
Keimu is being shouted at by their superiors, by more experienced (aka already appeared) emissaries. Though everyone is quickly quiet when a very flirt voice washes over them.
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes. Minato ends up stuck in a line for a new game as Satomi, Vert, a small girl named Broccoli and another girl named CyberConnect2 having a very deep discussion regarding a plotless game. Kei takes to Minato about a business deal. Minato finds an adult Peashy in a gym in Leanbox. Histoire asks Minato help with Neptune and Nepgear.

Minato, Virgil and James have guy's night, they wake up the next morning with no memory of the night before, each are in a different nation with their own odd locations and items. Minato, MAGES, 5pb and NISA hang out.
Lots of people are complaining about random strangers making lewd comments about them multiple times a day and a weird spread of dizziness as well.
Fearing the worst Minato told everyone that this could be the work of the sixth emissary due to the similarities between what's happening to people and the Lover Shadow abilities, of course he doesn't go into full details and everyone is already embarrassed about what he did say.
And thus, our heroes perform a daring raid on the only love hotel in Gamindustri on R-18 Island.
As they enter the main lobby they split up to try and find the Shadow before it does any real harm. Minato finds an odd portrait before he loses it and complete breaks the fourth wall by dragging the writer into the story.

They all went home afterwards.
The Lovers shadow is in a fetal-position crying as the other stare blankly as a load voice asks who's crying. Lovers answered "I just finished sound and animation of Weapon Hentai when the goody-goody showed up before I could add in the brainwashing software". Meanwhile, Satomi watches the Lovers non-brainwashing hentai starring all our (in story) heroes.
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes.
Illegal street races become widespread, more and more games and sports are including motor vehicles for no reason (think yugioh adding duel runners, they're cool but why add them).

He comes out of it when the shadows are defeated and is questioned about what happened, Minato confesses he knew about Virgil's arm and kept it secret until he had an idea of addressing the situation any further.

Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes.
Over a very long meeting that brought up the fact that faith in the goddesses and Minato has been dropping lately Satomi asked if combining their share crystals would help with the problem. Histoire states that it would be counter-productive due to conflicting forces of faith, the only way it could be sorted if there was something that combined different powers without bringing faith in as a factor and given their dealing with faith energy it would be a very difficult thing to do.
Satomi mentioned that Minato's personas all come from different pantheons as well as belief systems, he told her when she asked more about his personas.
Histoire looks at Minato's share crystal shocked and said that due to Minato's persona powers it, likely, caused his share crystal to mutate into something that could potentially act as a nexus of faith for the goddesses. Potentially bringing each of them a step closer to the power of a 'True' Goddess, a goddess with the faith of an entire world empowering her.
As the meeting continued into the night they were attacked, after the bystanders escaped the attacked revealed themselves to be Takaya Sakaki.
A rage built up within Minato, as Takaya used Hypnos to attack Minato, and he summoned Thanatos to battle Takaya.
Minato battles Takaya one on one as the goddesses deal with the sudden army of shadows attacking.
During the battle, Takaya reveals that he was revived into this world without any of his weaknesses from before and that he shall summon Nyx so she may finish what was started before Minato stopped them.
During the battle, Minato noticed something and calls Takaya out on being an imposter.
Minato basically says "it's true I hate Takaya Sakaki for what he has done, I hate that he killed my friend/sempai and pushed humanity closer to destroying themselves. But do you know what else I felt, pity. For he was someone cursed by either fate or coincidence and all he desired was to live with what he had left, find some comfort in his incoming death and to give his life meaning. I hate and pity him, fore I knew our roles could have easily been reversed. Now, who the hell are you really!?"
The fake Takaya laughs before revealing himself to be Shuji Ikutsuki, the final emissary and leader of the shadows.
Character Sheet: Shuji Ikutsuki / Death / Prophet
Species: Human/Shadow Hybrid
Arcana: Reversed Death
Traits= Resistance to change, unable to move on, fanatical death cultist, master manipulator and deceiver.
Clothes are thirteen colours
Shadow Infused Form: a twisted copy of Nyx's avatar with Shuji's own face replacing the mask. Able to change its own arcana during a fight thereby changing its abilities. Included arcana are:
Jester, Magician, High Priestess, Empress, Emperor, Hierophant, Lovers, Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, Fortune, Justice, Hanged Man and Death.
Hypnos dissolved into a twisted and incomplete Thanatos and continued the fight.
Our heroes managed to force Shuji to retreat but it was a Pyrrhic Victory at best, not helped that some people saw Minato summon Thanatos and felt the aura of death radiating off it.
Our heroes decide to connect their faith crystals using Minato's as a nexus to stabilize the conflicting faiths.
There's a small rough patch during the middle of the procedure of linking the share crystals, mainly due to nothing of the sort ever being done before, but its quickly dealt with. Our heroes grow vastly stronger and, as a side effect, our heroes experience the memories of the CPU, CPU Candidates and Minato himself.
The goddesses and their sisters gain new forms that radiated divinity (the new HDD seen in Four Goddesses Online Cyber-Dimension Neptunia) and Minato gains his complete CPU form. His CPU form is the same as before only with the chains gone, his chest is exposed, theirs a choker around his neck and his face is clearly visible with the helmet replaced with a halo connected to his head by a pair of horns. They rest a few days pass before the shadows attack again.
Shuji challenges Minato by himself while he sends three shadow emissaries to each nation to battle the goddesses.
Minato defeats Shuji easily by transforming into his now complete CPU mode while the goddess make mincemeat out of the shadows in their new Greater Divinity Mode.
This restores a great deal of faith in the goddesses and with Minato.
The shadows attack the Ultra-dimension, ultra-goddesses connect their share crystals as well.
Our heroes battle against the shadows while slowly reminding each emissary, excluding Shuji, their Humanity and helping them turn back to normal.
Shuji then created Shadows based off human's darker interpretations of the goddesses, these Shadow Goddesses try to kill the Oracles while Shuji with his remaining emissaries distract Minato and the goddesses.
The idea of these confrontations, using Planeptune as an example are:
Shadow Goddess Neptune enters Basilicom pretending to be the real one.
CPU Candidate Nepgear notices something is off and looks closer at the copy and realises there a fake.
Shadow Goddess Neptune tries again to convince the candidate Nepgear they're the real one with no success.
Shadow Goddess Neptune drops all pleasant and shows a cruel smirk, they restrain the candidate Nepgear with arms transformed into a Shadows. They explain that they're going to end them and wonders aloud what will break first; they're body, mind or soul.
The candidates Nepgear are saved as makers characters IF, Compa and Oracle Histoire distracted the shadow goddess, each nation defeats in a big way. Planeptune did by shooting the shadow goddess over the edge of the skyscraper's stop floor and caused Shadow Neptune to fall all the down inside with a splat. They go and check on the shadow goddess only to see them getting back up just as the real ones come back. The shadow goddess explains that even if they're not their shadow they still embody their more supressed-self, as well as the people's more negative thoughts about them, and that the stronger the real goddess becomes the stronger the shadow goddess becomes. The shadow goddesses escape.
Minato returns to Village 22 to find Satomi had been kidnapped by an Ascender and was last send headed towards the Gamindustri Graveyard.
Minato, blaming himself, goes on ahead to try and rescue Satomi with Satomi's uncle following close behind without Minato noticing.
When they arrive, they found Satomi possessed by Shadows under the direct control of the Shadow Goddesses. They our heroes try to get through to Satomi but nothing works and she attacks them, as the battle goes on our heroes are unable to even touch Satomi as all here attacks deal constant critical damage.
Shuji appears as he laughs with glee, he explains that His Goddesses boosted Satomi's precognition to the absolute limits allowing her to know everything our heroes will do and the shadows possessing her will use that information against them.
As our heroes are being pushed back Satomi's uncle, Ichirou, stood between them and Satomi. He gives her a heartfelt speak to give her strength to fight against the shadows possessing her. The shadows command Satomi to attack her uncle, but before she could harm him a power deep within her awakens. The Shadows are forced out as Satomi summons her Persona, the first Persona natural born in Gamindustri and not the last, the guide of fate (a there faced amalgamation of Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld. Only being able to see and understand fates, not weave them. Meaning, limited precognition, limited retrocognition and extrasensory combat).
Our heroes fight back with Satomi at their side, the villains retreat deeper into the Gamindustri graveyard but before they can chase the shadows Satomi collapses after the stress of being possessed by shadows and awakening her Persona.
Ichirou takes her home as our heroes continue onwards. As they move forward the goddesses confront their shadow counterparts, and after confronting the shadow goddesses, the goddesses unlock their NEXT Forms.
they battle and defeat Shuji and the entire Gamindustri Graveyard disappears.
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes.
A new Gamindustri Graveyard appears in the Ultra-dimension, Minato goes over to help while the Hyperdimension Goddesses try to keep the people calm.
The Ultra-dimension goddesses request Minato to link up their share crystals like he did for their Hyper-dimension counterparts, the ultra-goddesses might have been I bit jealous about not being a part of the initial linking. Minato goes ahead with it straight away; Ultra-Goddesses get their new forms and make the first strike against the shadows.
While going in they find Shadow goddess counterparts for the Ultra-dimension as well as old villains, CFW, from MK II. The ultra-goddesses defeat shadow counterparts, gain their NEXT Forms as well and battle the returning villains, Minato used Thanatos a lot with CFW Trick.
They track down Shuji only to find out that half his body has been transformed into a shadow, Minato attempts to talk reason to the man only to discover he has gone completely insane.
They defeat Shuji and he melts away…
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes.
Bonding and shenanigans ensues for our heroes with a few key events.
Minato visits the velvet room again and after informing Igor of an uneasy feeling you've having. Igor helps to discover that theirs a third Gamindustri Graveyard existing between the worlds and helps you create a path towards it.
Minato, along with the rest of our heroes march onwards to the Final Graveyard and battle many tough enemies to reach its centre to find a malformed Shuji being held up like a puppet with the strings being pulled my someone who looks like Minato but quickly starts shapeshifting between different people, animals, and monsters.
The creature introduces itself as Nyarlathotep and battles our heroes.
The battle is long and difficult but our heroes win.
The Great Seal is reinforced allowing Minato to be away from the Great Seal for long periods of time, but he must always return to the Seal for a few months.

…
…...The Cancelation Ending: _
Nyarlathotep gazed down at Shuji Ikutsuki, its puppet, and smirked. Nyarlathotep revived the man so he could spread chaos by awakening the dormant Shadows sleeping in this 'Gamindustri'… suppose there are worse names out there. Even if the first Wildcard was brought to this world it would make little difference, Minato Arisato is the sole persona user of this world and will be engulfed in an unending tide of Shadows so enough.
But, as the Crawling Chaos was gloating to itself, a menacing roar could be heard from outside Gamindustri.
One second Shuji and his shadow emissaries were there, the next they were eaten by a sudden Erebus. Nyarlathotep stared at the World Ending Beast and shrugged "eh, good enough"
Outside the Gamindustri Graveyard in the Hyper-dimension…
A young man with shoulder length white hair wearing a black trench coat was bowing to Minato, the Goddesses and Maker Character.
"Once again, I apologise profusely for cutting the story short. You all deserved better did this and I failed to see this project through to the end I first envision it" the young man exclaimed.
Minato sighed "we get it, apology accepted"
Blanc nodded "there are many obstacles for first time writers so no need to be shamed when encounter multiple major problems"
Noire smiled "yeah, losing all your progress because of data loss is a very big demoraliser"
Vert nodded with a solemn expression "indeed, many great works of art have been cut down because of such events"
Neptune smiled "well, no need to be so gloom chum. The important thing to do is to get back on that horse with a different horse and let those imagination juices flow"
The young man smiled "Thank you, your all too kind. Especially with having to deal with my No Fourth Wall Breaking Rules. It didn't feel right to leave everything hanging like this so I set things up for a rush ending to draw this whole thing to a close"
Plutia blinked "like what?"

Strength
Name:
PDX-005825 (Power Doping Experiment-005825)
Age:
Unknown exactly, but looks to be in his late teens.
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Fairly sickly and skinny due to lack of nutrition. Hair is extremely long due to being unable to maintain it. Pure white hair due to the different effects the chemicals had on his body. Skin is a deathly pale tone due to being unable to leave the facility.
Personality:
Belligerent, strong battle lust, destructive
History:
Once a quiet and reserved boy, PDX-005825 changed after years of pumping drugs with unknown effects into him. The drugs eventually mixed together and seemingly left him in a vegetative state, almost like Apathy Syndrome, causing the experimenters to cut the experiment and leave PDX-005825 to rot in a prison cell. What the experimenters didn't know, was that the drugs mixed to create a sedative effect on PDX-005825. Since the sedative was no longer administered, PDX-005825 became increasingly belligerent, thus becoming the madman he is now.
Choice of weapon and fighting style:
Uses whatever large, heavy object he can grab. If there are none around, he attempts to smash his enemies with his fists.
Very aggressive, in the way a berserker would fight. Essentially full offense and no defense.
Please put detail into your OC's
PDX-005825 was originally a frail boy, unable to keep up with the other children. He ended up in the experiments when his parents passed away and he was left in the Gamindustry Graveyard. The Ascenders who took him in, had no need for such a frail being and thus sent him to the experimenters of the organization. His original name was forgotten, as years of drugs made him forget it.
