Okay, I'm glad if you liked my way to writes, I'm really grateful. The story will be far from ended but I'll be happy if you guys reading it or even just passing by. This crossover is silly, you know? Hard to balance everything inside, but I love to write this very much! I didn't ever know that K-ON can be mixed with Persona deeply. Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it and it makes me more motivated to continue this!
FYI, Compendium Info are taken from Megami Tensei Wikia, sorry I didn't credit it : forgive me!
ENJOY! This chapter will be...surprising, I guess? Sorry if this chapter is short! But this is the LONGEST STORY I've ever made!
And I will split this into two chapters so…expect a cliffhanger…again. Umm, I changed the story properties, what do you think? XD
Disclaimer - I don't even own any of K-ON amazing character, and I don't own any of Persona series characters and other resources, I only own the story idea ^^

Perspective 07
Thanatos
Junes, late night
On the long bench of food court, there are Kanji, Yosuke, and fellow S.E.E.S member are seating in the awkward mood. There are Mitsuru and Akihiko that's present—Junpei and Yukari are busy in the hospital tending both Nanako and Azusa, Shinjiro is looking after the 'shadow extraction' case and Fuuka is helping him for info gathering. After Mitsuru's brief explanation, Yosuke and Kanji began to understand the condition.
"I see…poor Nanako-chan…" Yosuke looked downward in sympathy. "That's too…far,"
"I know what you mean, Hanamura-san," Akihiko sighed. "Losing what's important, no one wants that but what happens, happens."
"As far as I know, after we're not using our Personas again, there's nothing regarding such shadow extraction," Kanji muttered. "Sorry but we don't know anything,"
"I just seeking your cooperation, that's it," Mitsuru speaked professionally. "More Persona-users are merrier; maybe we can scoop some information or finding clues,"
"Let's see what we can found, okay?" Yosuke ended the conversation as he heard his phone vibrated. "Well, if you excuse me…"
The headphone guy rose from his seat to nearby toilet, he flipped his phone; it is a call from Satonaka Chie.
"S-Sorry, Satonaka! I have a guest now…"
"It's okay; I just wanna tell you that my train will arrived at midnight," the caller sighed. "It's rare for you to have guests, Hanamura. Who? Your silly co-workers? Or it's just Tatsumi-kun or Teddie?"
"Nah, they're Persona-users," he scratched his cheek. "Yu told me that Nanako-chan's hospitalized so…"
"WHAT! NANAKO-CHAN IS THERE! HOSPITALIZED!"
"Whoa, hold yer horses, Satonaka! You broke my eardrums!" Yosuke snickered. "I'll tell you as you arrived here, I'm still at conversation,"
"Okay," Chie going to hung up. "Oh, by the way, do you know about Nyx Cult?"

The raven-haired girl awake, her eyelids feels heavy but she can see the white ceilings of the hospital. She can aware her senses now, but she still feels weak, she feels numb. Maybe it's because few injections that Nurse Takeba gave to her earlier? Well, maybe so. Doctor Junpei said that her treatment won't take long, but Nakano Azusa already consumed how painful it is. She closed her eyes once again and everything turns black.
Deep in her slumber, she was sitting in a comfortable sofa alone. Azusa's getting used to it because she was dragged to Remnant Time before, so she treated this like dream. No one's nearby.
…Except for one boy that quickly shook her nerves by just seeing his eyes.
"Hello, Nakano Azusa, was it?" the boy smiled.
"Y-You…? The one I met in the school…?"
"No, I'm not Nemesis, he's gone, I'm Hypnos," he introduced himself. "I am here because it seems you're tied to my client,"
Azusa shook her head, "W-which client? I know nothing…"
"My client…how should I put it…" he placed a finger to his lip, "She's kinda like that Hirasawa Yui person,"
"Yui-senpai…?" Azusa kept her mouth closed as she composed the right word to say. "What do you mean by that, Hypnos-san?"
"I don't know, my client already closed her heart for me so I'm searching for her, everything's vague," he continued. "I wanna offer my assistance once again, but seems that she's suppressing me,"
"Yui-senpai already knows about this?"
"Yes, she does. Same as you, she, too, know nothing about her…I wonder," he sighed desperately. "I hope I can see her again, she was my one and only client that has a pure sea of consciousness, even what she did is wrong,"
"Now I began to wonder who's her," Azusa looked downward.
"There are more people—no, others like me that lost its master," said Hypnos, again. "It was me, Nemesis—our brother in law—but he already found that Dojima Nanako—and my other brother Thanatos and Moros. But Moros is stick with his owner again somehow and Thanatos, he is remembered by his user,"
"Who are you…umm…WHAT are you really?"
"To put it simply, we're abandoned Personas that awakened outside consciousness of our masters," Hypnos smiled. "I already told Hirasawa Yui that and she seems stunned,"
Azusa froze in shock as well.
"So you don't know anything about my client eh, Nakano Azusa? Well then…" he disappeared in seconds as Azusa still froze in place, mouth gaped, eyes widened.
"There are more people that have to suffer because of artificial Personas? More people like Dojima Nanako did?"

Meanwhile, Hirasawa's house
Yui and Ui are seating while enjoyed the simple breakfast contained butter-melted bread and milk—because Ui said that she's on class duty today so she must hurry to school afterwards.
"Nee-san, you look pale, are you didn't get enough sleep?"
"H-Huh? A, Am I?" Yui wiped her eyes twice and continue to eat. "Maybe because I arrived late yesterday~"
"Oh…how's Azusa condition now?"
"Ricchan texting me that Azunyan's okay~" Yui smiled at her sister. "I hope she'll be with us today but I don't know yet~"
"…"
"Ui…umm…why are you spacing out?" Yui tilted her head; it's albeit rare for her to notice her surroundings.
"I'm just thinking…am I making a right decision?" Ui muttered quietly.
"Right decision for…?"
"J-Just forget it, I'm talking to myself!" Ui shook her head desperately as she grabbed her bag. "I'm off, onee-san!"
Yui left dumbfounded, there must be something bothered her mind, but somehow, she can't bring herself to say it.
"Is Ui having a boyfriend now?" she thought to herself as she finished her bread.

Meanwhile, elsewhere,
The brown haired girl sighed heavily on her desk as she brandished a shiny gun from her skirt pocket. It was silver-colored gun that looked like never touched before, her face is rather weary, showed on the gun's reflection as she stroking the gun layout carefully as if the gun itself is glass.
She sighed for umpteenth time as she put the gun back to her skirt pocket; she leaned against the wall as some crossed thoughts flowing from her head.
"I thought it was the last time I put that thing over myself," she mumbled to herself. "I have to fight again… evenafter all that happened? No…way…"
She closed her eyes as she felt the outline of gun from her skirt pocket once again; she stood up straight and going to leave the room.
"No, I have to fight," she clenched her fist. "I never know that she's there…after all,"
Suddenly, materialized a person beside the girl—a tall boy with silver hair but with same clothing that Hypnos and Nemesis do—he folded his arms and sighed just like the girl did as he witnessed the girl.
"What's wrong, master? You look troubled,"
"It's nothing, Thanatos,"
"No, you must explain to me," he insisted. "You called me back, you ordered me again but you didn't explain slightest thing about your comeback, master."
"Sorry, it's just…" she closed her eyes as she muttered softly. "I…I didn't want to fight but, I must do it,"
"Are you concerned about…" Thanatos formed a bitter smile. "…That Hitokoto-nushi user?"
"…You knew it," she glared the boy.
"Of course, I am your Persona, after all," he shook his head. "I'm questioning your reason for taking me back, not that."
"I think I will fight her," she answered with heavy tone. "I don't want her to stuck in that world like me,"
"She's strong, much stronger than you, master…in my point of view," Thanatos replied harshly. "She has potential, unlike you, the forced one—"
"No need to remind me about that, Thanatos!" she twitched her eyes angrily. "It's true that I AM forced to know you because of the circumstances, no one can help it."
"How, you're so persistent now," he grinned happily. "That's why master like you is interesting…even you remained in the calm façade even when you're troubled, too suitable for me."
"Look who's talking," the girl forced a smile.
"But, can you fight, master?" Thanatos rested his chin on his hand. "In latest battle you were too exhausted, after you rescued those weak Persona-users from that gigantic shadow, and besides, your life—"
"I'll manage; it has been a long time since I used you so I got tired fast,"
"I think you can't stop her, she seems to have an objection for using her Persona, unlike you," Thanatos reasoned again.
She clenched her fist, "I will stop her, no matter what,"
"I see…then I won't stop you," he summoned a one-handed sword with a straight tip, and handed it to the girl's right hand. "Be ready, then."

In the said music room, four of the high school senior already gathered along with their respective cup of tea. An acoustic guitar which is owned by their club advisor is seated in the center of all instruments. As the tea is poured, the discussion began to livelier.
The brunette raised her hand, "Let's fuwa fuwa time!"
"No, Yui. It's too loud to be in hospital, think about other songs!" Ritsu slapped the brunette's forehead.
The raven-haired girl which sipped her lemon tea raised her hand, too, "How about Hotchkiss?"
"Not that again, Mio! It's somewhat too lousy!"
The kettle-holding blonde raised her hand, "Tenshi ni Furetai yo! then?"
"Good one, Mugi. And it is a simple song!" Ritsu gave the blonde a thumb. "It's decided then, we'll sing Tenshi ni Furetai yo! for tomorrow!"
"Ehh, not now…?" Yui pouted.
"No, Sawako-sensei is busy and she said that Nurse Takeba doesn't allow any visitors for today," Mio sighed. "I don't know why, but sensei said so after homeroom today,"
"Too bad then…" Mugi disappointed as well. "How about practice today for tomorrow?"
"Sounds good to me, we can't mess up for Dojima and Nakano's sake!" Ritsu looked fired up; she picked up her drumsticks as she began to set up the book-like-drum set.
"W-Wait, I must return the map back to Nodoka-chan~" Yui showed the school map roll to the three.
Mio smiled, "Then return it and we'll begin the practice 'till afternoon,"
After Yui leaved the room, everyone fell silent.
"It's good that she's not depressed after knowing all those hard stuffs about Shadow Extraction and Artificial Persona User from Sawa-chan," Ritsu grinned.
"Ritsu, we're like cleaning up their mess," Mio sighed. "But…it's worth a try to do it, to save mankind from the cruelty of Dark Hour once again, eh?"
"I agree, Mio-chan, and besides…" Mugi paused. "We don't want any more victims like Nanako-chan, right?"
"There's three more people alive of Nyx Cult that Shinjiro-san said," Ritsu began the briefing. "One of them is vaguely seen by Shinjiro-san who wield the Thanatos Persona, maybe we should find the other two, the Hypnos or Moros one~"
"Wow, I'm surprised that your brain actually working," Mio giggled.
/
Yui ran from the clubroom and wind up through the student council room—only to found her childhood friend is busy between papers and books.
"Oh, Yui, what's up?" Nodoka tilted her glasses as Yui showed up.
"Here, I return the map!" Yui frolicked happily.
"Oh yeah, I heard that there's a new cake shop in town, how about we visit it this afternoon?" the student body president offered. "I think the strawberry cakes are good, and it has been weeks since I didn't eat sweets,"
A wide smile formed on Yui's face, "Yay! You treat me, Nodoka-chan?"
"Yeah, my treat," Nodoka couldn't help but smiled at Yui's attitude. "Just wait for me today in front of school gates, okay?"
"Alriiiiiight~"
/
After a fun-but-rather-exhausting-training that the senior members of Houkago Tea Time did, they got home. Mio, Ritsu and Mugi going home first while Yui waited for Nodoka at the promised school gates. Sun began to set as every club at Sakuragaoka High ended their activity for today. Those Persona-users weren't worried about Remnant Time, as long as no one rang the Chaos Bell.
The airhead brunette waited patiently as finally Nodoka called her out from inside school.
"Yui, here, here!" Nodoka waved her hand, Yui ran back to the school still with her cheeky smile.
"Let's go, Nodoka-cha—"
"Wait," the brown-haired girl paused. "I need to talk to you first,"
"Hmmm? What's wrong, Nodoka-chan? Do you have a problem?"
"…Uhh, no…" Nodoka looked hesitant as she distanced herself from her airhead childhood friend.
"You're sounded like Ui…" Yui looked downwards worriedly, her silly expression turned into serious one because of the tense air. "I don't know why but I feel…something's wrong,"
"Everything's fine," Nodoka forced a smile.
"No, you're wrong, Nodoka-chan, there's something that's not right…" Yui shook her head, her eyes gleamed in sadness.
"Yui…I…" Nodoka closed her eyes; she pulled Yui in her warm embrace. "I…"
SMASH!
Yui broke out after hearing the familiar sound. "Wait…it is…no, Remnant Time already started…!"
Skies changed its color from warm orange with darkish blue color; the surroundings emitted an odd dark aura. Wind blew hard from the south direction, made the condition creepier and heavier. Nodoka's still standing opposite of Yui, she didn't disappear like any other normal people. There are two possibilities that she'll face Nodoka's shadow like any others do or she's a…
"Nodoka-chan, you…"
The brunette's eyes widened as her best friend put a shiny gun into her temple. Without hesitation, the brown-haired girl pulled the trigger and shot it out, banging sound followed. Blue light warped around her as a black with machine-like figure appeared between Yui's very eyes, screamed aloud for seconds before reverting back. Nodoka…is also a Persona-user.
"Yui…I'm sorry, but…" Nodoka paused. "I want you to stop your activity in this Remnant Time,"
"Nodoka-chan…how…?" Yui's body began to tremble. "How did you get that Persona? That's Thanatos, right? Don't tell me that you're—!"
"That thing isn't matter," Nodoka sighed heavily. "Please, I beg you for stop being a Persona-user, or I'll stop you by force,"
"Why must I stop…?" Yui tainted Nodoka. "I…no, we must do something to save everyone who's an artificial Persona-user! Everyone is promised to do it!"
"No, you must stop! This world is dangerous!" Nodoka barely yelled.
"I won't stop!" Yui replied.
"Then…" Nodoka drew her Evoker again. "I will make you stop!"
/
Mugi stopped her feet at the station gate and took a glance at her surroundings that suddenly empty. The three were chit-chatted randomly that they lost the track of time and slowed down their walk.
Mio and Ritsu also stopped her walk. "Huh, what's wrong, Mugi?"
"It's Remnant Time…" she whispered.
"Now that you say it…" Ritsu shoved her hands to her blazer pocket as she took a look. "Yes it is…people have disappeared…"
"No way, we can't enter Remnant Time unless…" Mio gasped. "Wait…was Yui at school? She doesn't smacking the Chaos Bell, right?"
"She's going to have cakes with Nodoka-chan but…let's check her, just in case," said Mugi, the rest two nodded.
The three turned back to squat over the road, but they're stopped as they're greeted by familiar sound.
"Oooh, Tsumugi-senpai, Ritsu-senpai and Mio-senpai~?" the person waved to them. "Good afternoon~"
The three replied in shock, "…Jun!"
