January 4, 1515
Takashima, Kyukai

A clear waterfall rushed down a quiet and peaceful forest deep in Takashima. A bear was roaming the forest, little did he know that he was being watched. A red Hedgehog was hiding behind a tree, carefully examining the bear.

"I've seen bigger bears here in the forest, but he's the only wildlife I've seen today that I can eat, so he'll have to do." The Hedgehog said to himself quietly behind the tree. He moves one foot back and prepares to attack. "HhhhhhyyyYYYYAAAAHHHHH!" He leaps up and fearsomely attacks the bear. He punched it twice and then bit it, and the bear was killed. The Hedgehog drags the bear near a fireplace and lights a fire to cook the bear for his breakfast.

The hedgehog is Yuki. He had dark orange fur and four large bangs above the center of his eyes and six spikes at the back, white skin, and his eyes were brown. He wore a black and grey kimono with a red sash, white gloves, black ninja shoes and a white long headband.

Music – Persona 3 - Kyoto

The village in Kyoto was peaceful. The villagers were out enjoying their tranquillity with the mystical chaos emerald in the region's clutches. And then, Yuki walked into the village. Everybody stopped and stared at him, stopping what they were doing. The village feared Yuki because of his fearsome fighting abilities and because he lived in the forest. He slowly walked by, looking at the people on the left and right. His fists clenched and telling by the look on his face he was getting more and more annoyed.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL STARING AT ME FOR? WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Yuki stopped and shouted out to the village in a rage. "Who needs any of you anyway? Just leave me alone!" He ran off and out of the village.

Music – Persona 3 - Shadow

Little did the people of the village know there was a much bigger threat. In an ancient temple, a demon who had been defeated and put into a deep sleep for 500 years, was beginning to awaken... after 500 years dreaming of revenge on Japan, the time has come for this demon to unleash his revenge. He smashed his way out of the temple he slumbered in and looked around. "500 years ago, the foolish humans put me to rest with dreams of hatred and revenge. Now, I have finally awoken. It's time to unleash my ultimate power!"

Music - Persona 3 - Kyoto

Yuki sat beside a calm, blue lake, washing his face. He took a deep sigh and then looked at his reflection in the lake.

"The village is afraid of me because of my past. I ran away from my family when I was nine because I could never fit in with the people. I've lived in the wilderness ever since, hunting the animals for food. One day, I'll get my revenge on the village..."

And then... CRASH! A mountain was destroyed and broke into pieces. Yuki looked behind.

"Huh, that's funny... I heard something." He turned back around. "It's probably just nothing. I don't need to waste my time on these people."

Music – Persona 3 – Persona Invocation

The demon was floating in the air searching for something in particular. He flew high in the skies of Kyoto. Nobody was aware expect for Yuki.

"What? In the sky... what's that? Or more like it, who's that? What does he want?"

And then, he descended from the sky and found Yuki. He gazed at this demon. He looked like a hedgehog, and was purple, and his arms, legs, chest and where his mouth should be were dark red. He had red irises and a black sclera. He wore no clothes.

"You look like you know something. I can tell from the look in your eyes. Tell me what you know now!"

"Huh? About what? What do you want with me?"

"I'm looking for a chaos emerald. There is one here in Kyoto. Do you know where it is?"

"Nope, you're looking at the wrong guy. I don't know where any emeralds are here. Now shoo!"

And then, he launched a fearsome punch towards Yuki sending him to the ground. Yuki could barely move after the punch. "Who are you? What do you want with me?"

"Never mind. You don't interest me. What I'm really interested in is the chaos emerald. With just one emerald I can travel through different periods of time, and with seven I can create the end of the world!"

"The end of the world? Whatever, go ahead. I don't care."

And then, he took off in search for the chaos emerald. Yuki managed to get up and looked up but saw that he was gone.

"So he's gonna destroy the world? Good. I don't care what he does. What has the world ever given me?"
