(In contrast to the Shadow, Yuni's dungeon was, so far, the most interesting to make up)

THUD!

Akira fell on top of you. The man had to be around 150 pounds of muscle, and your slender frame lay defeated beneath Akira.

"Oh, sorry," he apologized, feeling quite guilty. He rolled over you, then grabbed your body and quickly lifted you onto your feet. "Are you all right?"

You said you were fine, and thanked him for the help. He seemed even more physically powerful than Rage; you were grateful he was on your side.

As he helped you, Devil Zukin tumbled into the floor. She stood and dusted her skirt. "Akira, put on those glasses."

You put on your glasses as well. Akira strained his eyes to see for a moment before putting on the frames he was given. His eyes widened afterward, likely because he was surprised by how clearly he could see.

"This is... I don't know where to start," he mumbled.

You tried to explain what this world was. It was the world behind the television, and Yuni was somewhere around there, along with her Shadow. You asked Zukin if she could locate Yuni. She nodded and summoned Ouze.

The demon Persona helped Zukin focus. Ouze's ears twitched, and the twitching was gradually becoming more rapid. The Persona looked as if she was in pain before she disappeared in dust.

Devil Zukin gasped. You and Akira walked to her side and asked what happened.

"I... I couldn't find her," she confessed. "That didn't happen before... it's as if... I can't identify what I'm looking at or what I'm looking for. It was a blur... I imagined Yuni's Midnight Channel showing, and to the best of my ability, Yuni herself, but I couldn't see her." She placed her gloved hands on her head, stressed. "I know that with Rage-sama, all I had to do was think of him... I could follow where he was just by my instincts..."

Was it because she knew Rage better than Yuni? Teddie and Rise's powers were limited by how well they knew the person... you said this aloud and asked Akira if he could provide any assistance.

"You want to know something about Yuni?" he said, a little embarrassed. "Well, she... has a strong will... she's usually confined in her mansion, but if she wants something, she'll make it happen..."

So she's forceful? Spoiled, maybe? Perhaps you were getting somewhere. You asked if there was anything that particularly made her stressed... something that would make her Shadow appear.

Akira thought about it. "She has to live up to everyone's expectations... she can't afford any bad publicity, or she may lose her job." He paused again. "She can act nice to people she doesn't like... I think she's used to people pretending to be nice to her in return."

"Through that perspective, she must live through many lies," Zukin reasoned. She crossed her arms and closed her eyes. "Shall I try again?"

You nodded.

Zukin relaxed as her Persona reappeared. Again, Ouze united with Zukin and tried to sense Yuni's presence. After a single twitch of her ears, Zukin spoke.

"I see her," she mumbled. Ouze faded and Zukin opened her eyes. "Follow me."

-.

You, Zukin, and Akira came across a large building. There was a lit up sign that read "VERSE STUDIOS" and it appeared to have carts without drivers to the side.

"A film studio?" Zukin said aloud. "But she was dressed as a queen... I expected a castle."

Your team opened the door at the front entrance to the studio, not knowing what to expect.

The lights were off, and Akira and Zukin came in behind you. When the three of you were inside the building, the door automatically shut behind you, leaving you in the dark for about five seconds until three bright spotlights pointed at you. You and the others shielded your eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. As you did so, you heard a voice.

"Oh," Yuni's surprised voice echoed, "do I see new people? You better not be naughty or I'll have to teach you a lesson!"

As she was talking, you tried to search for some sort of light switch. You found one a few inches away from the door you entered and clicked it on. The tall room lit up and the spotlights shut off. The room was bare, as if it was only a warehouse.

"An empty set?" Zukin questioned.

The three of you stood silently for a moment, until you could hear someone running. You tried to find the source of the footsteps, but the room echoed too much.

Zukin shrieked!

You and Akira looked in her direction and saw that some sort of burglar held onto her. He couldn't have been human; judging by Zukin's strength in the past, you knew she couldn't be immobilized so easily.

You began to call out your Persona, but before you could even think of which one to use-

BANG!

You jumped, barely noticing that the monster had been injured. It let go of Zukin, and she scurried away from it.

You saw that Akira had his gun pointed to the monster. He held onto it with two hands, and when Zukin escaped safely, he fired three more shots at it. You couldn't just stand there, so you pulled out the sword (that you now called your own) and slashed the monster into Shadow pieces. It dissolved into the air.

"Cut!" a male voice said. You were confused... who was he?

"That's not right at all," he continued. "The girl was supposed to beat the criminal, not the bodyguard! And what's with the third guy?"

"I don't need you coming after me!" Yuni said. "Let me do this on my own!"

You were even more confused. At this point, the voices usually didn't make much sense anyway...

But Akira seemed taken aback by the words.

"Like before," Akira mumbled. You and Zukin faced him. "Yuni's usually safe, but she's been caught, a time or two. She always believes she can make it on her own." He stopped talking. "No, she can't get out of this now. We have to save her."

You nodded and signaled the two to follow you. Luckily, there was only one door to open, and that door led to a set of stairs.

Up the stairs and through another room, you found what was likely another set. There was a swimming pool and a realistic sky above you; the strange transition from place to place made you feel like you were in a dream. When you stepped closer, you noticed that the pool was drained of water. You decided it would be faster to go through the wide pool than to walk around it, so you jumped in and began walking. The pool was completely dried out, so you didn't slip at all. Your comrades followed you.

About a minute later, Zukin froze and gasped. "This... this is a trap. We need to get out of here!"

You and Akira were unsure of what to do, being halfway across. You suggested running to the end, and the others agreed, picking up their paces.

But Zukin's warning came too late.

"And... ACTION!"

The man's voice (a director, probably?) had called zombie-like creatures into the pool at your destination. They waved their arms around carelessly; they looked more drunk than dangerous, but their numbers made you uneasy. You skidded to a halt and searched for another ladder to exit, but the monsters were coming at you from all sides. You knew you were going to have to fight, so you asked Zukin for advice.

"Hold them off; I'll examine them," she requested. She summoned Ouze again while you glanced at Akira for help. The tall man saw you and pulled out his gun before loading it with a fresh set of bullets.

Your physical skills weren't strong enough to take on the army that was heading in your direction, and had there been any water, you would've been unable to use electricity. Because it was dry, you summoned Odin. The powerful soldier cast Maziodyne on several of the enemies on your side. You could barely see what was going on through the flashes of lighting.

Zukin was immobile as long as Ouze held onto her. You were worried that someone in this ambush would hurt her, so you did your best to protect her.

"Electricity... has little effect," the bat girl mumbled, "try something else."

You frowned and switched Odin with Norn, and cast the wind spell Magarudyne across the area. You noticed that it seemed to do even less damage.

"They block wind," Zukin said. She sounded fearful, and you couldn't blame her; the monsters were coming closer by the second.

You glanced in Akira's direction. His gun seemed to be notably effective. Could physical attacks be the right answer?

You switched Norn for Futsunushi and submitted your strength to the Persona so that he could use Heat Wave. It sent an attack of raw power through the room, though primarily toward the enemies you faced. One by one, they fell and disappeared into dust.

"No, no!" Yuni's voice echoed. "The party was just getting started! Why did you guys have to come and ruin it?"

You chose to ignore her. You ran to the other end, but you only heard one set of footsteps behind you. You paused and saw that Zukin had been following you closely, but Akira was hesitating. You asked him if he was okay.

"Sorry," he said, "I was just thinking." Once he caught up to you, your team found the ladder at the other end of the empty pool and climbed out. Again, there was only one door that led to another staircase. This was the least confusing dungeon you'd ever been in.

At least until the next floor.

The third floor was more like what you were used to. You were in a prison-like hallway with several doors on each side. The walls were gray and you could see a few empty cells. Faintly, you could hear a man's voice...

"Let me out!"

It sounded familiar, but it was too quiet. Was someone else in the television...?

"We should search for that person," Zukin said. "But we will have to look everywhere. Shall we split up?"

You and Akira agreed to it, then the three of you scattered. You were a little worried for them, but they were both physically fit enough to handle a few small monsters... or at least loud enough to scream for help if they needed it.

As you and the others opened more and more doors, you could hear that someone must've been getting closer to the mystery person.

"Help! I'm trapped!"

The voice was clearer. You backtracked, knowing then that you were going the wrong direction. His cries for help continued to echo through the halls until you found the prisoner.

Akira was in the room, staring at a copy of himself in the cell.
