Before i go on a rant about how hard this chp is to write i got to say.. 2000 views! Thanks guys, i'm glad you enjoy my story. I hope this makes you happy. More details after i'm done. (one more thing i did change this to teen but unfortunately this chp will have a dark undertone, be warned.)
"Holy Shit!" Ryuji yelled back at the cafe before being shushed by Sojiro. Futaba showed the group the message sent by bat girl.
"I told you guys!" Futaba said grinning at the group.
Akira was in deep thought "wired how she contacted us now."
"Im sure that it's fine." Ann replied. "Lets just focus on the beach trip ok."
Makoto nodded. "Ryuji and i will pick up Barbara from her apartment tomorrow to meet at the subway with you guys."
"This day is going to be fun!" Ryuji said.
LINE BREAK (NEXT DAY)
Barbara woke up the next day feeling tired. She had not felt this tired since helping Dick in Bludhaven. She looked at her calender and looked at the date.
She did not realise it but today was that one where she lost everything.
She wanted to do nothing for the day until she heard a knock on the door. She walked over to see who it was.
She opened the door and then the memories came back to her like a flood gate causing her to hit the ground.
"Not again" she muttered to herself as she was curled up in a ball. She could hear his menacing laugh echo throughout the her head. Today was the day when she lost it all.
LINE BREAK
"What's taking them so long?" Ann asked as the group was waiting at the station.
"Ryuji is probably being an idiot" Morganna meowed from Akira's bag.
"He is with Makoto so it should not be this long." Yusuke said.
Suddenly Akira's phone started to ring. It was from Ryuji. Akira accepted the call to hear the panic voice of the blond boy
"CANCEL THE TRIP! YOU NEED TO COME HERE NOW!" he scream towards the leader.
"Calm down, whats going on?" He asked.
"Its Barb, she just collapsed in front of us, we need help!"
"Why don't you call police?"
"She keeps muttering something. This is not normal get over here now!"
Ryuji hung up leaving the 5 worried.
"Let's go, we can head to the beach tomorrow, come on!"
They ran to the apartment complex where the van was parked outside. They rushed inside to find Makoto outside pacing.
"Makoto what happened?"
Makoto turned to look at the leader. "We knocked on the door and when she opened it she just dropped to the floor. Ryuji put her on the bed."
They entered the room to take a look around. Inside was a pretty barebones apartment. There was a kitchen and a closet in proximity to each other. Barb was on the bed with Ryuji looking over her.
"She keeps muttering not again." He said. Ryuji looked over to Akira. "You know what that means?"
"Not a clue. She could be suffering a psychotic breakdown." Morganna said.
"Lets enter her head and find the cause of this!" Ryuji said.
"We don't know much about her what is the chances of getting her palace details one the first try."
"Barbara Gordon, Gotham, Fun house."
Palace found! Traveling." the phone said.
The group looked over at Yusuke who had a list in his hand.
"There was a list of possible palace and distortions for herself that she wrote down."
Morgana had his mouth open, Then shook his head. "Let's find Barb and save her!"
The thieves left the apartment and looked outside. There was a different city skyline before them. Tall buildings and bright lights filled the air above but below was anarchy. Fires burning everywhere. There was only one place that the fires did not touch. A large oversize carnival. The area was seemingly run by a clown.
"No wonder Barb hates clowns." Skull said.
"Come on" Joker said as they leaped towards the carnival.
LINE BREAK
The thieves approached the carnival that had a menacing vibe to it. Rides and activities had the plastered face of a clown on it. It was abandoned but everything in working condition. There was even some rides active with no riders. The thieves walked on forward when they approached the fun house.
"Joker i detect someone is inside, could be Barbara" Oracle said. Joker nodded and they entered. Inside was a track still active with audio being heard.
"Look at her Jim, You can't save her, that or she is crippled for life. I want to see you suffer."
The audio was getting louder and then the track approached the end. There was a man strapped to the inside, almost naked. Tears pouring down his face. He was almost broken
"Please no more, YOU ANIMAL!" Jim yelled
"HAHAHAHHAHA" could be heard from the speakers. It was gravely and grim.
"Oracle can you turn off the ride?"
"Working on it and… done."
The music and sound stopped and they untied the man. He stood before them crying.
"Help her please. My baby.." He said before passing out. The thieves then felt nauseous and blacked out.

"DING DONG"
They awoke inside an apartment.
"Are we back?" Skull asked. He looked down to see himself still in phantom gear. The rest of the group was with him as well.
"DING DONG"
"Barbara can you get that?" said Jim. He seemed well and he was in the kitchen.
"Ok" Barbara replied. As she walked towards the door the air went cold. They went to the door with her. Then when she opened the door they saw her face fill with terror. At the door as a bleached skin clown with green fuzzy hair. He was wearing a purple flower shirt and a camera around his neck. In one hand was a vacation pamphlet and in the other a magnum.
He tilted his head towards the thieves and looked into their eyes. "We both know what happens next?" He aimed the gun a Barbara and fired.
"NOOO!" Ryuji screamed.
Barbara fell like bricks as her body hit the glass table. She was bleeding out fast.
Laughter could be heard and then the apartment unfolded like a pop up book. Standing in front of them was the clown and to his right was Barbara in a cage.
"You know, Somethings you never forget. The good, the bad, and ME!"
He took two fingers to his hand and whistled. Suddenly many clown masked shadows appeared.
"Let's go PERSONA" Akira said taking the lead against the charge as the others joined him n the fight."
LINE BREAK(CAUSE I'M BAD AT THE FIGHT SCENES)
Barbara woke up to see herself in a cage. She saw the joker and goons as shadows taking on the Phantom Thieves. Joker was making a break for the Joker only to get put down. They were losing and they would not last much longer. She had to get out.
Are you ready to accept your fate?
Barb looked around to see where the voice was coming from.
Are you willing to rebel for the sake of friends?
"Yes"
Well then, I am thou, thou art i
From this day you dedicate yourself to the cause.
Loyal to friends and nothing more. Fighting for justice in the world of the cruel
Open to your true self!
ARGGGG" She screamed as blue flames surrounded her. She felt the cowl of the bat upon her. She ripped it off for more flames to appear.
"PERSONA! LANCELOT!"
The cage bursted into pieces and the joker stopped. Above Barb was a knight in shining Armor of a dark armor. It resonated fear into The Joker.
"NO NO PLEASE NOT YOU PLS!"
"Goodbye Joker" she said as she charged him. She yelled and dark knives pelted the clown. As he faded into black goop she looked at the thieves. They stared at awe at the new awakened Barb.
"So can we go home pls? She asked before fainting from Fatigue.
I feel pretty good about this one. I'm kind of happy with this story. Barbara's persona awaken. Back to the cannon. A while back i said i would do an arc about riddler but as i wrote it i found it to be bad taste. I then thought scarecrow would be better because of fear. So for now untill i think of a better villain plot let's forget about riddler ok? I also wrote this because i got inspired after seeing DSP stanky stream this for the first time. I dont have ps4 so i watch for the story of the characters. But the game still looks amazing and fun. Seeing him suffer at hard enemies or doing bad time management (3 days for one lockpick) was fun. Let me know what i can do to improve this story or i'm gonna open myself to some suggestions on ideas. PM me if you have a suggestion that i will consider. Please review. Be AWESOME!(thx for 2k views).
