I bought a PS4 Pro because Spider-Man and WHY DOES MARIO+RABBIDS LOOK INTERESTING!? I JUST BOUGHT XCOM AND I HAVEN'T TOUCHED IT YET I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK!? Er… I mean hey! UknownHero here and welcome to another chapter of Senran Persona, mostly because I saw that there was a trailer for a new Senran Kagura game in my subscription feed and to write away to guilt of dating three different girls… in Persona 4 Golden. Yukiko, Marie and Ai (who I'm on Rank 6 with. The Whipped Route.) if you're wondering. God I wish I dated Chie again…

But this is Persona 5, bitches! So… uh… please don't start a waifu war or anything in the reviews. Our local Joker will not be in a relationship. Well, depending on your version.

Uh… anyway, please disregard everything written above and let's get onto the reviews! To a random Guest: …I'm just gonna ignore the hentai thing and change that question to "Why wasn't there a crossover with Persona and Senran Kagura?" The answer is… Well someone had to do it eventually. Didn't expect for it to be me but there you go. Fun Fact: React Watch Believe Yikes, which is over on Ao3, was actually the first RWBY and RvB crossover. To keeper of all lore: 1) We did after a bit of discussion and idea refining. Please understand once you see their Arcana and Persona. Trust me. It was really hard to figure out that and Initial and Ultimate Personas for them. 2) Well, I saw Asuka's Confidant focus on her life as a shinobi and as the granddaughter of a legendary ninja. Homura's will be about forging her own path after some time figuring out where she stands. 3) …Look, I admit the Personas we picked are gonna be a little… weird and probably doesn't have the theme of rebellion or mythological tricksters, but it was either them or one of them having a modern day bounty hunter as a Persona. 4) Well… not really… but there will be "What If…" scenes at the end where Akira will be romancing them and you can either take as canon or non-canon. Simply put, you decide if our local Wild Card gets to shove his kunai in either Asuka or Homura's shuriken… or both.

There will be retribution for both.

Anyway, that's it! Now, get rid of that mask of yours and let's start!

Updated! On 29/06/20.

Load Game… Start!


Chapter 3: Le Mat, L'Écureuil Heureux, L'Eon


(4/11, Early Morning)

(Shujin Academy?)

This...was a very bad idea, straight from the get-go.

It was blatantly obvious that something was definitely wrong here and yet here they were walking towards the largest castle she has ever laid eyes on with the feeling that she should be as far away from this place as possible. And while it could be chalked up to the others being unused to supernatural events and such, the very air around her felt...off. Actually, everything about this castle just seemed off to her. Sure, it's not every day your school turns into a medieval castle overnight but this...wasn't normal. Not even by Shinobi standards. Whatever this place was, it was dangerous. Completely unknown. And very, very real.

This wasn't just some advanced Shinobi Kekkei...no...this was something much bigger than that. Much more powerful than that.

But Homura just steeled her nerves and kept up her confident stride. This wasn't her first time having the odds stacked against her during a mission. That was practically her entire life, so this should be nothing special. If there were actually any threats, she could easily eliminate them even without breaking out her swords. That's what Hebijo trained her for after all.

Whatever was in her path...she would cut it down without a second to hesitate.

Meanwhile, Asuka could sense an enormous amount of lust emitting from the castle itself. It almost overwhelmed her. She never felt such...evil from anywhere before, and she shouldn't. But she could easily tell that this place wasn't somewhere she wanted to be in, mission or not. Everything was telling her to be wary of the area. To escape as soon as trouble struck, no matter who got left behind. But that was against her very nature, the principles she prided herself on as a Good Shinobi. There were innocent people in the mix and she really couldn't stop them even if she tried.

Plus, she was curious herself. Where did this castle come from? She considered maybe it was a Shinobi Kekkei but she has never seen one that made a castle appear and she would've felt herself entering the barrier in the first place. And there was no way this was a prank or special event of any sort. She was going through everything she learned for the cause of a castle replacing Shujin Academy but there didn't seem to be an explanation that she could come up with.

Maybe this was a breakthrough. A clue into the psychotic and mental breakdowns. Or maybe something different entirely they may have stumbled upon. Who knew? Asuka's top priority was to protect the civilians as they explored the castle, so her mission was more of a side objective for now. Something for her to investigate later.

Right now, all Asuka needed to do was stay vigilant and protect the innocent.

After crossing the drawbridge and entering the castle grounds, they saw a large and elaborate door in front of them. "How are we going to get in?" Akira muttered before he walked up to the door and tried to push it open, despite the feeling that it would be pointless. However to their surprise, the door was a lot lighter than expected and he managed to create enough space for them to pass through into the castle. "Okay..." He then concluded.

Without another word, the four students went through the doors and continued making their way deeper into this strange world.


(Entrance Hall)

"Th-That's weird..." The vulgar boy muttered as they walked into the middle of the area.

It was...certainly grand, fit for a king, with marble flooring, chandeliers and candles to light up the place, with stairs leading to the upper levels of the castle and a painting with a golden frame, depicting an adult male with a rather bad-looking hairdo looking rather heroic. He seemed familiar but they all wrote off as their imaginations. They did just see the front entrance for the school a second ago.

"Where's the school...?" The dyed blond soon asked as he looked around for any sign that Shujin Academy existed where he stood.

"Are you sure we didn't take a wrong turn?" Akira questioned. They did just go through a rather shady shortcut to get here.

"N-No! This has to be it!" The vulgar boy replied before the confidence in his tone faltered. "I mean, it... should be..." He soon stammered out in confusion.

"Maybe we got lost along the way. Maybe if we go back the way we came, we can find the school." Asuka suggested as the vulgar boy took out his phone from his pocket to look up a map to see if they did get lost somehow.

"Out of service? No Wi-Fi!?" The vulgar boy exclaimed in shock. "Where'd we end up...?" He once more asked.

"It said Shujin Academy at the front right?" Homura asked, getting nods from everyone else in response. "And I definitely recognized parts of the area on our way here. I highly doubt we're lost. This place should be where Shujin should be." She confirmed.

"But if this should be the school, where did we-" Akira started to speak, only to be interrupted by the clanking of metal. They all turned towards the source and saw a large man(?) in knight armour with a blue mask over its face, holding a chipped sword and battered shield approaching them. Shivers ran down their spines as it drew closer to them, though they couldn't tell why.

"Geez!" The vulgar boy called out. "You freaked me out...Who're you? You a student?" He asked as he approached the Knight. "Man, your costume's impressive! Is that arm-" He started to ask, however...

"SHINOBI TENSHIN!"

CRASH!

Everything seemed to play in slow motion as Homura's brain processed what had just happened.

The black haired boy just stared in shock, the vulgar boy looked like he just shit his pants and the tan skinned girl's eyes widened as they saw Asuka drop-kick the knight in the mask at blinding speed, something the Shinobi of Hebijo wouldn't have picked up if she was normal.

A speed only reached by other shinobi.

Asuka was no longer in her Shujin uniform anymore. She had a different uniform composed of a yellow vest over a white shirt, and a green plaid skirt to match her tie. Paired with it are black thigh high socks with brown loafers, and on each arm is a guard with bandages beneath them. On her waist are straps to hold two wakizashi sheaths, with the blades in each of her hands. The only thing Homura recognized was Asuka's red scarf around her neck.

In real time it was just a half a second, but it felt like an eternity as the cogs in Homura's brain turned to realise something.

The knight was holding a real sword...and Asuka was no mere civilian.

"...Asuka-san?" Homura managed to say quietly before time resumed as normal.

"HA!" Asuka shouted out as she landed on her feet as the Knight was knocked away. Her feet stung but not by the actual landing, but the impact of her feet meeting its face. It was understandable, considering it was wearing armor but she thought she would make more of a dent. The mask didn't even shatter.

"WHAT THE EFFIN' HELL!?" The vulgar boy screamed out. Before he could question the girl's actions, or anything else for that matter, another knight similar to the one she just kicked in the face arrived onto the scene. "W-What's going on!?" He exclaimed in confusion.

"Everyone, run! Get yourselves somewhere safe!" Asuka quickly ordered as she raised her blades. "I knew this place was bad. I'll hold them off while you guys escape!" She then declared.

"Holy shit, this shit's real isn't it!?" the vulgar boy exclaimed as he saw more of those guys in armor came into the area.

"Looks like it." Akira replied, strangely calm about the situation, before shifting into a defensive stance as the knights closed in on them.

"C-Calm down! Time out, man!" The vulgar boy tried to reason, but to no avail.

"There are too many enemies here..." Asuka whispered to herself as she grimaced. She never fought a heavily armored enemy before, and seeing more and more coming made her doubt her chances of survival. But the civilians come first; her own safety was only on her mind so she could fight them off longer. "Why are you still here? If you can't fight, run!" She called out once more.

"What!? No way! We're not leaving you behind!" The vulgar boy called back.

"It's not like we have much of a choice." Akira pointed out as he grabbed the blond's shoulder, who could only nod, knowing it was for their survival. Then, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Before he could see who it was, a knife was placed in his hand. "Huh? Is this..." He started as he looked at the weapon.

"What the... Why do you have an effin' knife on you!?" The vulgar boy shouted out at the tan skinned girl.

"Does it really matter right now?" Homura asked rhetorically. "I'm gonna stay behind. You two head for the exit. Don't be afraid to use this." She then ordered as the black haired boy tightened his grip on the weapon before looking back at her. "What the hell are you guys waiting for? Go!" She soon demanded in a serious manner.

"Yeah, we better not mess around any longer." The vulgar boy stated.

Akira meanwhile hesitated before putting the knife in his blazer and started running for the exit, but they both stopped. They didn't have the heart to leave them alone to fight off the guards.

"Homura-san! We're-shit..." Akira cursed as he and the vulgar boy backed away from the knights blocking the exit. "Outta luck here..." He concluded.

"Homura-chan!" Asuka yelled out, causing the girl to turn around...just in time to see that one of them was about to cave in the back of her skull with its shield. "NO!" She got out.

"Heh. Shinobi...Tenshin!"

And before Asuka could react and defend her roommate...her roommate defended herself by countering and slashing the knight in the face with her left arm, three scratch marks upon its helmet and mask.

As Asuka processed what her roommate had just done, she noticed her roommate was in a completely different uniform wielding six katanas between her fingers and a nodachi on her back. Asuka realized it only meant one thing.

Homura was just like her; a shinobi.

"...Homura...chan?" Asuka managed to get out before the tan skinned girl forced the knight away before slashing it again with her right arm, her limbs moving faster than the human eye could see. It fazed the Knight as much as she liked to but it was good enough.

"Wh... Who are you people?" The vulgar boy wondered out loud, staring at the well-endowed girls he only met about ten minutes ago while the other boy stared at them as well.

The girls meanwhile only looked at each other, knowing that things were about to get really complicated really fast.

"Shinobi!" The two girls answered in unison before dashing in front of the boys to protect them.

They doubted their weapons alone could kill these guys, they needed to bring out their more advanced Ninja Arts if they wanted to get out of the castle.

"Got any ideas?" Homura quickly asked as she readied herself.

"Just one." Asuka replied as her swords became coated in a green light while the two boys decided it would be best for their safety to duck down. "I'll show you a dance cloaked in shadows! Hanzō-Style: Full Bloom!" She shouted out, her voice echoing around the area as she went ahead charging towards the Knights without fear and unleashing a barrage of slashes upon her enemies before slamming her swords down, causing the perfect marble floor in front of her to rise up, causing a few Knights to get sent flying.

"If that's the plan..." Homura muttered before going into a low stance. "Then I won't hold back as well. I sacrifice myself to the will of our dance! Sound of the Wind!" Homura called out as she spun around as fast as she could, her katana extending outward as Knights were beginning to get sucked into the mini-tornado she created. "Now get the Hell away!" She roared before releasing an explosion of energy, forcing the Knights away to give them breathing room.

"What the hell is going on?" The vulgar boy wondered out loud, pretty obviously done for the day and wanting to go home. "Did they do it?" He soon asked.

"It looks like it..." Akira replied as they both stood up.

"Is everyone alright?" Asuka asked while panting slightly from exhaustion.

Homura meanwhile was a little dizzy from her attack but recovered pretty quickly.

"I think so." The vulgar boy said after checking himself for injuries. "Okay, we better hurry bef-GAH!" The blond started but then cried out in pain as a Knight shoved him onto the ground with its shield. "Just what the Hell..." He soon struggled out.

"Hey!" Akira called out before he was almost instantly knocked out by another Knight.

"What the-AH!" Homura shouted out as she was grabbed from behind, her arms painfully pulled behind her back, causing her to drop her weapons, and lifted off the ground. She looked around and saw that the guards had quickly recovered from her and her roommate's attacks. Even their armor was blemish-free and even the ones she and the other girl attacked beforehand no longer had any signs of damage on them.

"Let go of me!" Asuka called out after a knight managed to capture her as well while she tried to break free. "Why didn't our Ninja Arts affect them!? ARGH!" She thought in confusion and panic before she cried out in pain as the flat part of a sword went across her right cheek.

Before Homura could even react, the pommel of another sword dug into her stomach. Despite her unnatural endurance, the strike caused her to hack up some blood.

"Homura-chan!" Asuka called out once more.

"A-Asuka-san!" Homura called back.

RIP! TEAR!

The two then suddenly disintegrated their clothes, hoping Frantic Mode would give them enough strength to break out of their captors' arms and run.

However it wasn't enough. The two just kept struggling against their captors, fruitlessly kept trying to break out.

Their rewards were only a metal fist to their faces and the blissful peace of unconsciousness.


(4/11, Morning)

(Shujin Academy?)

H...

...ey...

...damn it...

"Wake up!" A voice managed to rouse Asuka from her forced nap. Slowly opening her eyes, she tried to recover from the massive headache a Knight kindly gave her and tried to refocus her eyes. After a few more seconds, her vision went back to normal and first thing she saw was the vulgar boy's face. "Shit, those bastards...those assholes really messed you two up..." The blond boy got out.

Asuka could barely form a sentence, her mind still pretty foggy from earlier. She tried to move her arms to feel for injuries...only to hear the sound of chains instead.

"What the...?" It took a few more seconds but now Asuka knew what the situation was. She realized she was chained up to a wall, every limb becoming immobilized while she also tasted copper, which only meant that knockout punch split her lips and soreness of her right cheek made her guess correctly that it was badly bruised.

The Good Shinobi quickly looked down and let out a sigh of relief, seeing that she was now dressed in her Shujin uniform. She tried to escape her chains, she felt so weak that she couldn't even muster up the energy to transform. Next, she realized she was in a dungeon cell. It was dark and grimy. Even with clothes on her back, she could feel the slime on the walls.

Asuka then looked around and saw the glasses wearing boy on a bed, though it was really just a hard piece of wood covered by a thin cloth, and he didn't seem to be conscious. She then turned her head and saw her roommate across from her, also chained up in the same fashion as her,unconscious with a black left eye and a little blood running out of her mouth and dripping off her chin. "H-How... ugh... how long was I out for...?" She soon asked before wincing in pain.

"Felt like an hour or so. Could be wrong." The vulgar boy answered, before checking his phone. "Just woke up and my phone's clock's been screwed up for a while. Here, let me help." Before Asuka could respond, a water bottle was placed on her lips and tipped forward. Now realizing how thirsty she was, she drank as much water as she could before pulling away before she had drunk the whole bottle.

"Thank you." Asuka got out as the vulgar boy threw away the empty bottle into a corner before pulling out another one. "I needed that uh... sorry, I forgot to ask you for your name." She admitted.

"Ryuji." The blond delinquent answered without a thought. "Ryuji Sakamoto." He introduced.

"I'm Asuka Shirokage." Asuka replied. "Thanks for the water, Ryuji-kun." She then added.

"You're welcome. I'm gonna go wake up the others now. Try to... uh... relax." Ryuji said before going over to the other girl, using a little of the water in the second bottle to clean up her face.

After the tan skinned was conscious again and started struggling, Ryuji went over to the black haired boy to wake him up. It took a little more effort, but before long everyone in the prison cell was awake and itching to get out.

"You all right?" Ryuji asked as the other boy sat up from the makeshift bed.

"I'll live. How's you and girls?" Akira replied, spotting the girls chained up to the wall.

"Sore." Asuka groaned. "But fine otherwise." She then added as she moved her jaw, only to wince in pain.

"We are not fine, tits-for-brains! We're frickin' chained up like dogs!" Homura snapped in anger as she struggled against her bindings. "Argh! Why can't I break out these!? What are these made out of!?" She struggled out as she tried to break free.

"Aw... Homura-chan... that's mean..." Asuka whined out before looking awkward. "...We're gonna talk about this at home, aren't we?" She then guessed.

"If we make it home, Jugs." Homura instantly responded with a sigh before giving up her struggles.

"Doesn't she…" Akira thought in confusion before shaking his head. Now was not the time to look at boobs.

The blond meanwhile blinked as he looked at the two girls. "That is not what I expected ninjas to be..." Ryuji admitted.

"Hidden in plain sight." Akira muttered. "Makes sense though." He calmly added.

"I thought they only existed in anime until today." Ryuji groaned out. "But this place...this entire thing ain't no dream, is it?" He soon asked.

"My face agrees with you." Homura mumbled to herself before wincing in pain. "And I think also my ribs." She then added.

"Just what the hell is goin' on!?" Ryuji grumbled, pacing around the cell before running up to the cell bars. "Hey, let us outta here! I know there's someone out there!" He yelled out as he continued to shake the cell's bars before pushing off it in frustration. "Dammit, where are we!? Is this some kinda TV set...!? Are we on some stupid fucking reality show!?" He got out in confusion.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Suddenly, they heard someone let out a horrible scream of pain not too far from them.

The two boys immediately ran up to the bars to see what was happening. "Th-The hell was that just now...?" The dyed blond soon asked in fear.

"I-I-I don't t-think you can fake a sc-scream like that." Asuka got out; her eyes widened in absolute horror as the tortured man begged before screaming in more pain. "Wh-Where are we...?" She asked once more.

"I would like to confirm to everyone that this is all real." Homura spoke up as the boys stepped back from the bars. "And if that guy's screams are any indicator, death is the least of our worries." She then added.

"Whoa...whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa..." Ryuji got out in a panicked tone. "You're shittin' me, right...?" He soon muttered.

"Ju-Just find a way out!" Asuka called out. "Don't worry about us; just get out of this place. We'll find a way out on our own." She concluded.

"Eff that! You're gonna die down here!" Ryuji said. "C'mon, dude, let's see if someone before us left behind a lockpick or somethin'." He then said.

Akira in turn nodded before they began searching the cell, checking inside barrels, underneath the bed and in the dark corners of the cell.

"Even if we did get out of these chains, there's not much we can do to help you guys." Asuka admitted before wincing in pain.

"You're goddamn ninjas!" Ryuji called out. "Some type of help is better than nothing!" He then added.

"And we have nothing." Akira announced. "There is nothing here we can use." Suddenly, they heard a lot of footsteps, of metal boots walking on stone floors. And they were coming closer to their cell. Fast.

"Huh? You guys hear that?" Ryuji asked.

"I think those are guards." Asuka guessed.

"Maybe they have keys on them." Homura assumed. "Do you two know how to pickpocket?" She then asked.

Both boys however shook their heads.

Homura in response to that groaned in annoyance. "Damn it... um..." She got out as she tried to think of something.

"We'll figure something out later. Let's just see what these guys are up to." Akira suggested.

Having no other option, Akira and Ryuji went up to the bars just as guards approached their line of sight.

"Be glad that your punishment has been decided upon." One of the knights said, its voice twisted and distorted. It sounded too natural to be a simple voice changer. Whatever these guards were... they weren't human. "Your charge is 'unlawful entry'. Thus, the men will be sentenced to death...and the women will become concubines for his Majesty, with disloyalty and/or disobedience being punished by death." He then stated.

"SAY WHAT!?" Akira, Asuka, Ryuji and Homura exclaimed; their voice mixed with shock, horror and rage.

"...If that's what it takes to escape..." Homura thought, already bracing herself for the long run.

"N-No..." Asuka stuttered in her mind as she started to lose her cool.

"Who the fuck are you talking about!?" Ryuji shouted out, his rage barely contained as the other boy tightened his grip on the bars. "Who's the jackass you're serving!?" He then yelled out.

"Don't you dare speak ill of the King, you filthy peasant!" A Knight yelled out, about to drive its sword through the boy's foul mouth... only to be stopped by a hand.

A human hand.

"That is enough." A familiar, yet distorted voice said as he approached the cell. "I'll take care of these pieces of scum personally." He declared.

"O-Of course, my liege." The Knight shakingly responded in fear as it moved out of the way of the King.

"Hold on... that voice..." Asuka thought before her eyes widened.

"Wait a minute... isn't that..." Homura started, realizing she recognized the voice past its distortions. It disgusted her, it made her angry and it made her never want to hear this person's voice ever again.

These were all the same feelings she had when she met Suguru Kamoshida.

"No one's allowed to do as they please in my castle." Kamoshida said as he walked up to the bars, wearing nothing but a regal cape covered in hearts, a bright pink man-thong and crown and having bright golden eyes that glowed in the dark.

"Huh? Wait...Is that you Kamoshida?" Ryuji gasped in shock.


"Good morning." He greeted. "You want me to give you a ride to school? You're gonna be late." He advised before he then noticed the other two girls. "Come on, I'll even give your friends a ride." He soon offered.

"Um, they aren't my friends." The blonde girl replied before glancing at the other girls. "But, um, sure. Thank you." She then added.

"We'll just wait out the rain... er... Mister..." Asuka started but trailed off at the end.

"Kamoshida. Suguru Kamoshida. The gym teacher at Shujin Academy." Kamoshida finished as the blonde girl got into the car before looking at the boy. "Do you need a lift too?"


"That guy from earlier? The gym teacher?" Akira asked after having a small flashback. "He's... the King here?" He then added.

"So those comments from earlier..." Asuka started.

"I didn't mean this literally!" Ryuji shouted at her, panic in his voice. "Just what the Hell...?" He muttered in confusion.

"I thought it was some petty thief, but to think it'd be you, Sakamoto..." King Kamoshida said before putting on an irritatingly smug look. "Are you trying to disobey me again? It looks like you haven't learned your lesson at all, huh?" He soon asked in a taunting tone.

"Wha-what is he talking about Ryuji-kun?" Asuka soon asked in confusion.

Ryuji ignored her and decided to focus on why the man that ruined his life was here of all places.

"And look, you brought along a friend this time... because you can't do anything by yourself." King Kamoshida taunted as he looked at the chained up girls. "But at the very least you also brought along some niiiice offerings, so maybe I'll lighten up your punishment. A quick, clean death is much better than a slow and painful one." He declared while licking his lips. This only caused more disgust and rage to build up within them.

"This ain't funny, you asshole!" Ryuji called out, wiping the smug grin off the King's face and switching it to a glare.

"Is that how you speak to a king?" The King growled at the boy. "It seems you don't understand the position you're in at all. Not only did you sneak into my castle, you committed the crime of insulting me—the King. The punishment for that... is death." He then declared.

"Is every punishment for a crime here ends with death?" Akira growled quietly, holding back his anger despite a voice in his head telling him...no, shouting at him to unleash it. He squashed it down, his more rational side telling him it would make the situation worse. "Is that how things are run here? Why are these guards loyal? With fear?" He then asked in a low tone.

"I heard that." King Kamoshida growled as he slowly turned to the glasses-wearing boy. "My subjects all love me, and any who disagree will be executed. Speaking of which, I think it's time. Take them out!" He ordered as the two boys quickly started backing away from the cell bars as the two girls were desperately trying to break out of their chains.

"S-Stop it...!" Ryuji uttered as a Knight went to unlock their cell and get in to murder them. "...Goddammit. . ! Hragh!" Deciding he had nothing left to lose, Ryuji charged into one of the knights and knocked it down. "I ain't down for this shit! I'm not gonna die without a fight! COME ON!" He declared before another Knight answered his challenge and shoved the guard of its claymore into his stomach. "Nnngh...! Ow...!" He soon got out.

"Damn it!" Akira got out as he tried to help, only to be blocked by a pair of swords and forced his back against the wall.

"RYUJI-KUN!" Asuka yelled out as she struggled once against her bonds, only for a sword to be placed against her neck. The blade was so sharp it had already cut her skin. If she moved anymore, it would be the end of her life.

"LET ME OUT!" Homura screamed out in rage as she summed up all of the strength she had in her to break free, and it was working. The chains were starting to come apart, but that stopped when another one of the guards punched her straight in the face. There was blood running out of her nose as she spitted out more blood onto the ground. Her vision then became red as she realized the Knight's knuckles left a large gash on her forehead, her own blood obscuring her vision.

"D-Don't worry about me..." Ryuji wheezed out. He was obviously in a lot of pain, but he just looked at the girls and Akira. The girls had no chance in getting away but Akira... "Dude, just go! Get outta here!" He then ordered in a serious manner.

"Akira-kun... run...save yourself!" Asuka begged, readying herself for her impending misery and death. She was a Shinobi, a protector of light... to die in a dark dungeon without anyone knowing where she was... to break her promise with her Jii-chan...

"No... I won't... I can't... I will never..." Homura whispered to herself, wanting to remain defiant, to deny that her end would entail being defiled and thrown away. She didn't survive this long to die like that. She didn't do so much, killed so many people, destroy so many lives including her own just to die like that.

"Oh? Running away, are we? What a heartless friend you are." King Kamoshida taunted.

"Shu-" Akira wanted to yell, however...

"He ain't a friend... none of them are..." Ryuji groaned out. "C'mon! Hurry up and go!" He called out once more.

"What's the matter? Too scared to run away?" Kamoshida taunted as he looked at Akira. "Hmph, pathetic scum isn't worth my time…" He then looked at Sakamoto and the two Shinobi. "I'll focus on this one's execution. And after I'm done with Sakamoto and you, I'll have my way with these offerings you brought." He soon decided as he licked his lips.

"You...You..." Akira couldn't help but growl through gritted teeth but again was reminded of the swords in front of him. He couldn't do anything as the King had two guards pick up the blond by his arms as the King grinned madly.

"Take this!"

WHAM!

"Lowly scum!"

WHAM!

"Useless pest!"

WHAM!

Every punch was a thunder crack to Akira and the girls. More and more, rage started to build within them as they continued to remain useless in defending the blonde boy's beatdown.

The King soon spat on the blond's defeated form as a Knight picked him back up by his blazer. "...Hmph. Where'd your energy from earlier go?" He mocked as the blond was thrown to the ground again. "A peasant like you isn't worth beating. I'll have you killed right now." He declared.

"Have you lost your GODDAMN MIND!?" Akira yelled out before instantly feeling good about it. He had wanted to say it ever since he saw this jackass' face but after everything he wanted to keep his mouth shut. After all, when he did he ended up expelled and punished by shitty corrupt cops and an unfair trial for something he didn't do. His caretaker hated him, he knew every single staff member in the school would treat him like a fucking murderer and his parents didn't even say good-bye.

He didn't give a shit who this guy was. All he knew was that he was an asshole.

"What the..." Akira soon thought in confusion. That...came out of nowhere.

No...wait...not, it was from deep down within himself.

"Hm...? What...? Don't you dare tell me you don't know who I am." The King said as he walked up to boy, staring past his glasses and into his glaring, defiant… rebellious eyes. "That look in your eyes irritates me!" The King declared as he then kicked the boy in the stomach, his back hitting the wall.

"Please..." Asuka quietly begged. If she was stronger she could've - no, would've - freed herself and yet she was useless like always. Her friends would've done much better than her and take care of these Knights in seconds. Hell, they probably wouldn't even be captured in the first place. They were much more suited as the successor to the greatest fucking shinobi to ever live. What a totally realistic and achievable goal to have set when she didn't even know violence existed. And after seeing this bullshit, she knew deep down all along that there were people without light. People, humans, those who were supposed to be born innocent, they were people who couldn't be saved. That they needed to die. Even with the purest light... it would create the darkest shadow. Thus, was the life of a ninja... unable to love, unable to have real friends, unable to have a life. Her own life.

But soon... she would show them... she was more than who she was born as.

Asuka's eyes then widened to that mindset she thought up of. "H-Huh!? I... I... can't... I wouldn't..." She soon thought in confusion as she started to panic mentally. Where were these thoughts coming from?

"Hold him there… After the peasant, it's his turn to die." The King ordered his knights.

As soon as Akira heard that, he got up to stop him only to be pushed back against the wall and held them by two more Knights, each one holding his arms painfully and firmly.

"No...no I don't wanna die..." Ryuji sobbed out, just knowing his time was coming very soon.

"N... No..." Homura barely managed to get out, unable to form more proper sentences. She wanted help, she wanted to fight, and she wanted everything that went wrong in her life to die in the biggest fire she could make and stomp on the ashes as well. This wasn't the first time she was forced to do something, to be trapped in chains. She had been trapped in chains ever since she killed in self-defense. Now she was no more but a puppet, a mere tool for Hebijo. They had lured her in and captured her and placed her in a zoo they called a school. She wanted freedom, she to run wild, to escape the chain around her neck that was ready to be hung on the highest tree branch when she was deemed worthless. She was already defiled and was being prepared to be thrown away, and she knew it from the very beginning.

Fuck them. Fuck all of them. This was her life dammit!

"Th... That's..." Homura thought as a shiver ran down her spine after realizing what she just thought. Just what was she thinking about?

"And why do I hear my own voice then?"The three thought at the same time and they all came to the same conclusion.

"Was that... me?" The three soon thought in confused unison.

However before anything else could be done for the three...

"What's the matter...? Are you simply going to watch?" A booming male voice questioned in Akira's head, causing him to gasp as he tried to look for the source. "Are you forsaking him to save yourself? Death awaits him if you do nothing. Was your previous decision a mistake then?" The male voice then asked in a serious yet tempting tone.

Akira's eyes then narrowed to the questions as though he was remembering something. "...It wasn't..." He muttered out in his own serious tone before he started to struggle.

Asuka then looked towards the black haired boy, as she noticed him struggling. "A-Akira-kun?" She muttered out in confusion.

Homura on the other hand continued to struggle to try and break free as she noticed what was happening. "O-Oi!" She called out.

"Very well... I have heeded your resolve." The male voice declared as Akira gasped as he felt something within him, causing him to breath heavily. "Vow to me. I am thou, thou art I...Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice! Call upon my name, and release thy rage!" It ordered as the black haired boy screamed loudly.

The two shinobis eyes meanwhile widen to the sight of this. "Akira-san!/Akira!" The two girls called out in unison.

The black haired boy however couldn't hear anything as he continued to struggle. "Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!" The voice soon declared as Akira soon fell limp and started breathing heavily.

When the two girls saw the boy go limp, their eyes widen in concern, however...

"So, you have finally realized it my dear..." A suave and feminine voice echoed from the Good Shinobi's head, causing her pupils to dilate. "That there are those that say that are good but then deceive to obtain their own desires, and those that are evil to hide possible good deeds..." She then echoed.

Asuka began to struggle in pain as she closed her eyes, her head feeling like it was about to burst open at any minute. Though strangely, she felt as if something was rushing through her body. "W-What..." She got out as she slowly opened her eyes, revealing them to be bright yellow before screaming out in pain.

Homura then gasped as she turned and saw this, but knew she couldn't help her roommate. All she could do was struggle against her chains. "Asuka!" She called out before her pupils dilated too.

Asuka then continued to struggle as she started to spasm in chains, her neck becoming bloodier as the sword against it tore her skin apart. Yet, she never noticed how close to death she was. Everything hurt. Her body. Her mind. Her heart. Her soul. She didn't notice the distant moans of pain. She didn't notice the blond being lifted up against the wall with a sword aimed at his throat. She didn't even notice her roommate thrashing around and the still limp boy. All she could hear was the voice from within.

"Light and Darkness... good and evil..." The female voice then echoed in the girl's head. "Do you believe that this balance should stay intact?" She then questioned.

The short haired girl started to breath heavily to the question that she was asked. "Y-Yes..." Asuka answered. "I believe that good can't be around without evil..." She then got out with a nod, still trying to endure the pain. "Light can't be made without shadows either..." She answered.

"Then let us form our contract... one that will balance out your true self." The female voice offered while the girl started to thrash about again. "I am thou, thou art I..." She then began as sweat started to run down the girl's head. "Now that you see that one can't live without the other, show them all the true power of choice!" She then demanded in a serious tone as the girl's thrashing ceased. "Now...show them you are no mere shadow, that you are LIGHT!" She soon declared while the girl started to breath heavily with some saliva running down her mouth.

Meanwhile at the same time...

"You can't forgive people like that can you?" A tomboyish female voice echoed in the tan girl's head, whose eyes widen to hearing that as she started to thrash around in pain. "People like him were the cause of your own suffering and yet you fell for their same temptations, leading you down your current path, straying from what you originally desired." She then declared. "However you knew of their true plan didn't you? You always knew. Their desire for your power?" She then questioned.

Homura then started to breathe heavily as her eyes turned bright yellow. "Yeah... they knew...I knew all along about my power..." She replied in her exhausted state. "I... I can't forgive them... any of them... all of them!" She declared.

"Then form the contract with me already... such is the desire of the other self within you..." the voice then declared as the tan skinned girl started to growl, almost like a feral animal. "I am thou, thou art I..." She then began. "You can now truly let yourself loose and to slice through your own forged path!" She then loudly ordered. "A path no one will ever take... a path bathed in CRIMSON!" She soon declared as the girl's eyes narrowed with fury.

"Execute him!"

Suddenly, at the same time, something shattered within the three.

With a sudden burst of strength, both girls calmly broke their chains, pushed away the guards and landed on the floor, the cuffs and remnants of the broken chain hanging off their ankles and wrists while their hair covering their faces.

"That's enough!" Akira meanwhile shouted out, his barely contained anger echoing around the cell.

"What was that?" The King growled, glaring at the person who dared to speak in such a manner, the Knight let go of the blond's neck as he started coughing for air.

"He said; To get. The fuck. Away from him. You piece of shit." Homura translated, her whole body shaking as if it was holding itself back.

"You are no king." Asuka quietly started. "You're a damn tyrant..." She then declared in the same tone.

"You people desire to be killed that much...? Fine!" With a quick tilt of his head, the King commanded his guards to shield bash all of them in the face, seemingly knocking all of them out in an instant.

Ryuji meanwhile struggled to stand as he saw everyone else get a sword placed against their necks, readying for the simultaneous execution.

Then, as the Knights raised their blades...something wonderful happened.

To fully understand one's self... to find their place in the world...

"Per." Homura whispered. Suddenly, a surge of power ran through their bodies as forced blasted their foes away. At that moment, they felt...good. Better than they had even been in their entire lives.

There had been a weight on their shoulders they didn't realize existed, but when they noticed it felt as though they could fly.

To realize there are no simple answers... to take joy in the journey... to live life...

"So." Asuka mumbled out as they all stood up before noticing something on their faces.

Akira somehow had donned a white bird-shaped mask with a black design around the eyes.

Asuka meanwhile had a simple black mask with a white circle on her right cheek that covered her entire face.

And lastly, Homura had a white mask with a black circle on her left cheek, similar to her roommate's as the mask covered her entire face.

It was rough, it was irritating, it was worthless now. They wanted them gone.

So with a strong grip on their respective masks she struggled for a moment to get them off before in one quick and bloody motion, they tore them off.

"AAAAAAAAAH!" The three screamed loudly as the blood scattered.

Innocence, divine inspiration, madness, freedom, spontaneity, inexperience, chaos and creativity...

These are the values and aspects that would change the World.

"Ah... ah... ah..." Asuka moaned out as she panted heavily.

"Grrr..." Homura slowly growled.

"Hehehehe..." Akira laughed softly, before they all started grinning like madmen. "...Na." He concluded.

SHATTER! FWOOSH!

Engulfed in green flames, Asuka changed as her hair was released from it's ponytail. She no longer needed her Shujin uniform. Hell, she no longer needed her Shinobi uniform. Instead they were replaced with a pale yellow short kimono decorated with green and pink flowers, showing a fair amount of cleavage, thigh-high white socks, a pair of shinobi sandals and light brown gloves.

However behind her was a female frog-like woman wearing a light green strapless dress with a pink butterfly printed on the skirt complete with matching pull-on sleeves, stockings, heeled boots, and a giant orange obi bow tied around her waist while it was holding two wakizashi in it's amphibian like hands.

Then with her first breath, Asuka shouted a single name with a confident grin on her face. "BURY THEM KAERU!" She called out.

Meanwhile engulfed in crimson flames, Homura no longer felt restrained and let out a mighty, animalistic roar as her ponytail undid itself and her hair flowed freely. Her Shujin uniform had now been replaced by a black shinobi shozoku with red lining and a bright red snake curling around her left sleeve, with holes, tears and burn marks all around it and dark orange gloves.

Behind the tan skinned girl meanwhile was a large, female-humanoid with a stocky build, long flowing hair with red tips, white triangular eyes, furry dark blue arms and legs and a pair of two absurdly sharp blades prodding out of her knuckles and wearing dark yellow spandex with a cross slashed across her chest with a large purple Japanese Rat Snake wrapping around it's body entirely.

Homura soon growled with a smirk on her face as she looked at the enemies in front of her. "SLICE THEM UP WOLVERINE!" She roared.

And lastly engulfed in blue flames while a demonic laughter was heard, Akira never knew how good it felt to be rid of his mask until now. His uniform was now just a dream to him. Wearing an equally, if not better, stylish outfit consisting of a black trench coat with a gray collared shirt, black trousers, brown Cuban heeled boots, and a pair of red gloves.

Grabbing the chains of the being behind him, a red demonized version of a creature with jet black wings, he couldn't help but grin.

He was done being a bystander.

The demonic creature then spread its wings as it pushed back all the guard surrounding the male. "I am the pillager of Twilight, Arsene!" The being then declared.

"Wh...What the?" Ryuji got out in shock and confusion to the sight of the three.

"I am the rebel's soul that resides within you." Arsene revealed. "If you so desire, I shall consider granting you the power to break through this crisis." He then offered.

Akira in response to this only nodded in acceptance. "Give me your power." He then said in a serious tone.

"Hmph...very well..." Arsene replied. Akira could feel the evil grin his Persona would've had.

To the sight of this, the King was shitting himself, his Knights were no longer intimidating to the awakened.

The being known as Arsene then looked at the boy that brought him out with his arms crossed. Although Arsene knew he was merely the physical representation of the young, rebellious boy's mind, as soon as he awoke to his power he knew there was something special about him.

"Ravage them!" Akira soon ordered.

Arsene in turn chuckled in amusement to that. "With pleasure." He responded before blasting away the remainder of the Knights. With three people with the same power at their beck and call, Akira just cracked his knuckles and uttered the next phrase with such conviction there was no doubt that no matter how guards he threw at them, no matter how strong they were...there was no stopping them now.

"Okay, so Kamoshida, tell me... who's next?" Akira questioned with confidence.


Save Game… Quit!

Whew! Done! Hope this is good. Also, check out below for an in-depth Persona Analysis of Asuka and Homura's Personas. And please remember...it was either Wolverine or a bounty hunter. I checked the Senran Kagura wiki and researched more for this than a school project. Their Ultimate Personas are better and are called 'Ultimate' for a reason.
