Alright, before I start the next chapter. I would like you guys to tell me if you want your characters to have pairings(Tell me how they fall in love with the person) please PM me for all the details about the pairing and how it starts. Also, can you guys give me some suggestion on what would happen next in the story. I'm new to writing a Persona story and this is my very first one too.


Also this is Kai's current stats for the story.(I will be using the Persona 4 stats)

Courage: Brave

Knowledge: Broad

Expression: Touching

Understanding: Motherly

Diligence: Persistent

Also, Kai doesn't know what a relationship with a girl is, or why people are jealous. Which was shown last chapter. Reason for that is Kai is something known as a "Pure Being", that doesn't understand what romance is. However, he does get embarrassed when people praise him or give a compliment to him, because he thinks its meant as respect to one another. However there may be some possibly where he finds out what love is later on in the story. Another thing is that Kai is a very compassionate guy that wants to help people with their problems, even if he doesn't show it sometimes.


Chapter 2

Return of the S.E.E.S

"Go, Partholón!" The man known as the Hero of Magh Ithe. Rushed towards the jester black blob figure, taking out his gladius and slashing its chest(Cleave). Causing black goo to spray out of it. He then jumped back and sheathed his gladius back into its scabbard and took out his bow.

"Partholón! Garu!" He took out an arrow from his quiver and slowly ready to shoot, where a small wind started to form around the arrow. He shot the arrow at the jestered monster and when it came in contact the arrow exploded and turn into a small hurricane. It seemed to be effective and the shadow seemed to be weakening the strange blobbed monster. The strange creature was still standing and cast fire at me, hitting me and causing me to fall to the ground, while I used the sword to keep me standing.

"Damn..." I said. I took out the gun again from the holster and shot myself in the temple.

"Garu!" I shouted. Once again, Partholón appeared and shot another arrow at it and it exploded into a small hurricane. Dealing damage at it. The strange monster looks like it was about to go down so I put my gun on my temple one last time and pulled the trigger.

"Partholón! Cleave!" For one last time, Partholón appeared and took out his Gladius and got close to the dark blob and slashed it one last time. Cutting it in half, and splitting it in two. Partholón then disappeared and I fell back, sitting down and dropping the sword and gun.

"Its over..." At least, thats what I thought when the two halves, risen up into a black slime-creatures with mask that we're heading over to me. I looked in fear, because my body was all stressed out that I couldn't move a muscle. I closed my eyes and braced myself, for what would happen next.

Mom, Dad...I'm sorry.

"Persona!" I heard the sound of shattered glass, and opened my eyes and in front of me was Rin who placed the gun on his temple and a strange figure was floating above him. A man wearing a black trench coat, with yellow trims on it, with a face guard that covered his mouth. One of his leg was mechanical while the other one he wears a boot. Wielding a mechanized scythe with a gear on the top of the blade spinning around and bone-like wings that were spread wide open. Lastly, he covered with his face with a hood, that concealed his face in the shadow.

Thou art I...I am thou

I am Cichol King of the Fomorians

"Cichol! Mazio!" The King of the Fomors scythe began to charge up static and soon the entire scythe was covered in electricity. It then turned the blade of the scythe upwards and shot it up in the sky, where two small lightning bolt descent from the sky striking the two blobs and incinerating them into ashes. The hooded man disappeared, and Rin looked behind me.

"Kai are you okay?!" I nodded my head, and looked over to Ms. Kirijo who was still unconscious.

"Is she alright?" I asked. He nodded his head.

"Yeah, its just a minor burnt. It seemed like the strange fire attack only did light damage to her. So she should be alright, after a good nights rest."The Dark hour, of what Ms. Kirijo called, soon ended and the green shade disappeared. I breathed in relief, and soon laid down on my back and closed my eyes.

"*Yawn. I think I'll sleep here tonight." I replied to him, he looked at me confused as if he was wondering why I would want sleep in the roof but just nodded his head and carried Ms. Kirijo to one of the rooms at the third floor. As soon as they left, something began to glow blue. I opened my eyes and saw a velvet-colored door in front of me. Since when was that there? I stood up and slowly approached the blue door and twist the knob. It seemed to be lock, then something began glowing in my pocket and I soon started rummaging it. It was the key, that man Igor gave me. Perhaps this is what the key is needed for... I placed the velvet key in the door lock and it fit. I unlocked the door and entered the door, where a white began to covered my vision. Soon the white faded away and I was back inside this strange velvet club room. Sitting down on the bar seat once more, with the creepy long nosed man sitting across me.

"Welcome back..." He chuckled. I tilted my head in confusion.

"Its you again..." I replied, in both a blunt and casual tone. He just continued smiling, even though he always seem like he was smiling. I could tell.

"Ah, it seems that Partholón was the one who heeded your call..." He said. I tilted my head again, once more. Still confused.

"Partholón? Who's he?" I asked.

"Partholón, is the leader of the second people to settle in Ireland. He is also the one that lead them against the fomors during the Battle of Magh Ithe and won. Giving him the name of Hero of Magh Ithe." The long nosed explain.

"I see..." I nodded my head.

"That power you and your friend, manifest was a Persona." I tilted my head once again in confusion.(Note: Kai will tilt his head, if he confused or doesn't understand anything. Just so you get the picture on why he's doing that.)

"Persona what's that?" I asked.

"A Persona is a facade of your personality. Think of it as a mask that protects you from many hardships...Also that being said your power is still weak." I tilted my head again. Dumbfounded about the last part.

"Weak?" I added.

"When using your Persona, you must channel both your inner strength and emotions. Your powers will grow stronger as you develop your Social Links. Your ties with other." This time I didn't have to tilt my head, since he explain it in all one sentence. So I simply nodded my head.

"So let me get this straight. The more and powerful Social Links I develop, the stronger my abilities with the Personas grow?" He nodded his head.

"Also, I mentioned that their is another resident of the Velvet Room. Why don't you introduce yourself?" A door appeared next to Igor in an instant and out came a man with dark blue hair, with a bang covering his right eye. He held a book and wear a black suit like Igor, only he left his black blazer unbuttoned. Lastly, he had silver-grey eyes."

"Hello...My name is Minato Arisato. Its a pleasure to meet you. I shall assist you from this day forward." He smiled lightly. I smiled back at him.

"Now then, time marches on in your world. I shouldn't keep you here too long, this is goodbye for now." With those final words, white began flashing back and disappeared instantly. I was back at the roof of the dorm and was standing next to the velvet door. What just happened right now? I didn't that long like always, and just headed back inside the dorm back to my room. When I got to the third floor, I saw Ms. Kirijo, talking to Rin and they both noticed me.

"Akira, Hitoshi. I would like you to me in the room on the fourth floor." We nodded our heads and followed her to the room on the fourth room. Where I saw the three gun holster on the table and Ms. Kirijo had a serious expression.

"I didn't want to involve in these matter about a year ago. After what happened." She said. I tilted my head.

"What do you mean? After what happened?" I asked. She then began to explain.

"Guess I can't hide it from you two. 14 years ago, the Kirijo group we're experimenting on the shadows." I was guessing she was talking about that thing, that attack us earlier. "My grandfather was trying to find a way to harness the shadows power. But as a result, it caused a massive explosion and Death was born."

"Death?" I tilted my head.

"Death was a shadow, that would start the fall. The end of everything as we know it." Hearing those last word, made me go speechless and Rin jumped into the conversation.

"Wait! You're saying that this things back and is going to destroy the world?!" Ms. Kirijo shooked her head.

"No the fall existed. To bring salvation to those who seeked Death as the answer to everything. It is because of humanity that created the fall." She responded.

"Humanity wished for the Fall..." I said. She nodded.

"Yes exactly, Akira. I knew that even after we stopped the fall, it would one day returned as long as people wished for Death...but I never expected to happen so soon, which is why..." Ms. Kirijo got even more depressed. I knew what she wanted to say, but didn't want to because she doesn't want us in danger. I answered her by picking up the gun.

"I'm in" I said. The both of them looked shocked.

"Akira?! Are you sure?!" The red-haired Directress was the first to respond. I nodded my head. Rin was the next to pick up the gun.

"If Kai is doing this. I'm helping out too." Ms. Kirijo was worried about our answer. Yet, she was glad at the same time.

"Are you sure?" I nodded my head.

"We're Positive." With those final words coming out of Rin's mouth. Ms. Kirijo smiled.

"Then I can't stop you..." She then picked up the last gun on the table.

"The S.E.E.S is back together!" She announced. I tilted my head and Rin looked a bit confused.

"S.E.E.S?" We both said.

"The Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad. S.E.E.S for short. Starting tomorrow, the S.E.E.S shall be an official club in Gekkoukan High." We both agreed and nodded my head. As well, I heard the sound of glass shattering and a voice in my head.

"?!"

*Crash*

Thou art I...And I am Thou

Thou hast established a new bond

Thou shalt be blessed when creating when creating

Personas of the Fool Arcana.

"Rank 1 Fool Social Link"

The voice then soon faded away, and I blinked my eyes on what just happened.

"The Fool. Huh?" I shrugged my shoulder and headed down to the second floor and into my room where I instantly fell asleep. Social Links, Huh? I guess I need to make more of em.

Lunchtime

(Approximately 11:30AM)

It was lunch, a time to finally relaxed during the school. Today I was to stop by the old student council room which is now the new S.E.E.S club room. But I was stopped by my homeroom teacher Ms. Toriumi.

"Ah Kai! Do you mind carrying these stacks of books to the faculty office. I do it myself, but I'm busy right now." I nodded my head, and carried the stacks of books and headed towards the faculty office. The books we're stack so high that I could barely see, and I crashed onto someone while going down the stairs. Scattering all the books. To prevent him or her from getting hurt, I huddled myself and used myself as a shield against the falling boots. They then fell and hit my back. Ow! Thats going to leave a mark.

"Are you alright?" I looked over to who it was and it was Michiko. She seemed both embarrassed and scared. Wonder why?

"Oh Kawazoe-san. Sorry about that..." I smiled at her, causing her face to get red and then she slapped me. Making me fly off her and land on the ground.

"Ow..." I said while rubbing my head.

"Hmph!" She looked away at me coldly and walked away. Wonder what's her deal? I picked up the scattered books and continue on my way to the faculty office and dropped off the books in the office before heading to the club room, where I saw Ms. Kirijo, Rin, and another kid who seemed to be a year younger than me and Rin. He had stylish brown hair and eyes. Wearing the gekkoukan high uniform, with his blazer unbuttoned like mine, Rin just wears a black jacket with a hoodie. He also seemed to be a bit short for his age. About 5''6' I say.

"Ah Akira, I would like you to meet Ken Amada. He's a first year, as you can tell. As well, as a former member of the old S.E.E.S" I waved my hand at him and he approached me and bowed.

"Its nice to meet you senpai." He said politely. Then he looked at me with an astonished look. Just like Ms. Toriumi and Ms. Kirijo.

"Um...hello?" I said. He snapped out of it like, Ms. Toriumi and Ms. Kirijo when they first saw my face. I wonder why?

"Oh sorry...You just remind me of my Senpai, four years ago." He said. I tilted my head, wondering who this guy was. He must've known those three pretty well. We all then sat down at the meeting table and we began discussed the return of the Dark Hour.

"So the dark hour return..." Ken said, with a depressed voice. "Senpai..." He added. It was almost noon and the lunch break was about to end.

"So. Ken is going to be joining S.E.E.S once more?" I asked. Ken then nodded his head.

"Yeah, I won't let senpai's death be in vain..." He said. What did he mean by that? Could it be that this person sacrifice the dark hour? The noon bell was about to ring in about a few seconds and we we're about to wrap it up. When I noticed a blue butterfly, flying in the room. What a unusual butterfly? I thought.

Noon had struck. But something different happened again. Everything began to turn into a light blue shade. The water began to glow, and the power went off just like last time. But there was still light.

"What the..." I said.

"No way! What's going on?!" Ken said.

"I don't know, but it seems that the dark hour now able to appear in the middle of the day. This is just weird." Ms. Kirijo said.

"You mean it wasn't always like this?!" Rin look shocked. Both Ken and Ms. Kirijo shooked their heads.

"The dark hour would always appear every midnight. This is a bit different than our old dark hour." Ken explained.

"Wait if the dark hour struck. Wouldn't that mean that the school should've change into Tartarus by now?" I tilted my head and Rin looked in confusion.

"What's Tartarus?" I asked.

"Tartarus is a giant labyrinth tower that would appear every dark hour. The school would transform into it. But it isn't. Somethings a bit off here." Ken replied. I then came out with the conclusion.

"Maybe this isn't the Dark hour, perhaps its a different hidden hour." I said, they all thought about my theory and nodded.

"That could be possible. But if this isn't the Dark Hour. Than what is it called?"

"How about we call it the Light Hour? Since it appears during the day?" I suggested.

"Seems fitting." Ken replied.

"Very well." Ms. Kirijo replied

"Sounds good." Rin replied. We then heard the ground shaking.

"What's going on?!" Ken said, while trying to maintain his balance with the rest of us. It soon stopped and we decided to take a look. Outside from a distance was a shining tower that was above the cloud. It was near Naganaki Shrine.

"What is that place?" Ken replied. A voice rang through my hand and told me.

"Thats Tir na nog. Also known as Paradise..."


Yay finished with second chapter. Sorry if this is short. Also Tir na nog in irish mythology, is heaven. Again I apologize if this is short. School's been busy and I wanted to continue writing this so I had to rush.

Also if you have any ideas or suggestion for what could happen in the story, PM me.
