The Rebel Path (Persona 3)
It was done.....
I was done.....
What was left of me and Johnny infiltrated Arasaka tower, Johnny got his revenge on Adam, and I was deep inside of Mikoshi. All that was left to do was install Alt into the system and it was over. All this bullshit was over.
The cyberspace I found myself in was vast, big, and empty as shit...
Talking to Johnny for what felt like the last time was somber, we had been through so much, all the shit that went down was enough to drive any reasonable person insane, but Night City itself was insane, that I learned first hand.
Afterwards, I had two choices, let Johnny keep my body, or return to Night City.
Did I want to even return? Of course I wanted to keep my body, but Night City was a cancer on this planet, riddled with corruption, crime, and lies.
Then another thought came to me....
Y/N: Hold up...
Johnny: What's the delay man?
Y/N: Don't get me wrong, I want to be myself, but I don't want to return to that hellhole.
Johnny: Explain...
Y/N: What if... there was a way to go somewhere else, just somewhere that wasn't Night City.
Johnny: That's not a power that I posses...
Alt: But I do..
Alt then made herself known.
Alt: If you were to return to your body, it is possible to transport your body somewhere else, but...
Y/N: But what?
Alt: The location of your landing would be... unpredictable, there is also a possibility that you would end up in another time period.
Y/N: Great, some time travel bullshit.
You pondered... While you could escape to horror and trauma that was Night City, you would be leaving everyone you knew behind, including Panam...
Do you even want that...?
No, Night City was plague, and you wanted out of it. Forever.
Y/N: Fuck it, It's worth a shot.
Alt: Alright, its your wish.
Your body then begins to glitch out of reality, but before completely disappearing, you have one last remark.
Y/N: So long... Johnny.
Johnny: You too... Man...
Your body then wraps out of the plane of existence. No more bullshit. No more Drama. No more Night City.
I'm so sorry... Panam...
Timeskip
Y/N: Ugh... My fucking head is spinning....
You stand up, balance yourself, and only then do you realize that something is wrong, very wrong.
Y/N: Where in the fuck am I?
The room was caked in darkness, everything from the walls to floor and even the halls that seemed never ending where textured in this an abstract style. Blood was also seen in droplets.
Y/N: Great, I find myself in this spooky horseshit, just great.
Checking yourself for any weapons, you find that your weapons are, in fact, still on you. These include.
A Malorian Arms 3516
A Militech M-179e Achilles
And just so you wasn't unequipped to deal with CQC, you bring up your arms and, with a little force, bring out your Mantis Blades.
Y/N: At least I'm still strapped. Now to find a way out of this shithole.
Standing up, I begin to try and make my way out of this labyrinth.
Timeskip
It's felt like hour's since I find myself here. I can't find the stairs, and the blood on the ground seems to only increase in volume.
Y/N: I'm struggling to find out why the fuck there's blood everywhere....
That thought was about to find a resolution....
Several creatures come out from above the walls, they look like big black blobs with white masks fixated to the top of the mass.
Y/N: Okay, this is new....
You pull out your Achilles rifle.
Y/N: But I got the problem solver right here.
You begin to sling shots at the creatures, some of which make contact. There was only a slight problem, when one died, more would take it's place.
After only a few short minutes, you were out of ammo, and royally fucked. Yes, you could just whip out your blades and start to chop them up, but that would only delay the problem, and they would just swarm you.
Y/N: Shit, if only I had help, if I only someone...
As if your prayer had been answered, a voice was heard.
???: I found them!
Earlier... POV Change
Gekkoukan High was a prestigious school, looked on Tatsumi Port Island. While on the surface it was relatively normal school, once the clock strikes Twelve AM, the school transforms into a massive, grotesque tower, that crawls with hideous creatures known as shadows.
A group of the students known as S.E.E.S have access to a power known as a Persona, with it they infiltrate the school, and ascend the tower, exterminating any shadows they find on the way.
Their leader is a boy named Makoto Yuki, a Second-year student with the rare power of the Wildcard, and ability that allows him to use a variety of different Persona's.
The other member's are Yukari, the Archer and Popular girl. Junpei, the Goof-ball of the group. Mitsuru, the Smart and Calculated member. Akihiko, the Strong and Brash member. Aigis, An android who happens to posses a Person. Ken, A reliable boy with sense of justice. Koromaru, A dog who also happens to posses a Persona. and Fukka, The groups Navigator.
The group is here to attempt to make progress in the tower.
Mitsuru takes the lead first.
Mitsuru: Fukka, if you would please....
Fukka: Of course..
This happens most times. Fukka would scan the floors they have explored for different kinds of treasure and to see if there are any dangerous shadows to try and avoid.
But this time was different...
Fukka: Wait a minute, something isn't right.
Yukari: What is it Fukka?
Fukka: A detecting a massive amount of shadows in one area.
Junpei: Why would that be?
Fukka continues to scan the area, only to come to a horrifying revelation.
Fukka: There's someone in that area!
Everyone's now and High alert, and Mitsuru takes charge.
Mitsuru: Alright, if there is indeed someone stuck in here, we need to act fast. Me, Yukari, and Akihiko will go with Makoto to floor this person is in. Fukka, you continue to give us updates, okay?
Fukka: Of course.
Mitsuru: Alright Makoto, lead the way.
Makoto nods his head as the group makes there way to floor where this person is located.
Timeskip
The group is seen walking throughout the labyrinth, weapons drawn, and evokers on standby, but something is off.
Akihiko: Is it me, or is there a lack of shadows?
Yukari: Yeah, we haven't seen a single shadows. I just hope they aren't at this person were looking for.
Distant noises are heard, almost like screams and gunfire.
Mitsuru: Were getting close.
As if on que. Bullets begins to shatter the wall from around the corner.
???: GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!
The group rounds the corner, evokers drawn, only to see multiple dead shadows. In the middle stand a man, wearing a futuristic jacket with a cyber demon on the back with text saying "Samurai". The skin on his body is also decorated in uneven lines and even some bolts are seen
(Yes, I know its an action figure lol. Also imagine he's 19 years old.)
Yukari: I found them!
He whips around he sees them, almost looking relieved, but that's when a shadow jumps at him,
Akihiko: Look out!
He turns around, drops his gun, and transforms his arms in the long blades before thrusting them into the shadow, destroying the creature completely.
Yukari: What was that..?
Makoto can only shrug.
That's when all hell breaks loose.
The man then begins to completely massacre the shadows, ripping and flipping whatever happens to get in his way.
Just as it started, it was over. The shadows were dead, and all that was remained was the man, still with the blades.
The blades retract back into his body as he picks up the gun he dropped and begins to walk over to the group.
???: Who are you..
Yukari: The people who came to get you out.
???: Thank god, I thought I was gonna be stuck here forever. Let's get the fuck out of here.
The group, all though uneasy, agree and make their way to the entrance, with the man in tow,
Timeskip... POV Change
Me and these group of what I assume to be high school kids make our way out of the this shithole.
The entrance is very cool looking though, with the background shifting around and the actually entrance to the inner areas being a giant clock.
I then spot more kids at the entrance, even a smaller kid and dog. What the hell is even going on..
???: Were back.
???: I see you have retrieved the person safe and sound..
???: More like he saved us, with the amount shadows that where up there, we could have completely surrounded, but this guy made short work of them.
???: How?
Y/N: With these
I flex my Mantis Blades to all of these kids, and just like watching a kid buy a new video game, they are starstruck, no wonder people called me a narcissist..
???: Woah! That's so cool, I didn't know you were and android.
Y/N: I'm not an android, these are just cybernetics.
???: They look so futuristic...
That line hit me as curious..
Y/N: Wait, where are we?
???: Well, your in our school, but a night it turns into this giant tower called Tarturus.
Y/N: What year is it?
???: Umm... It's 2009, sir.
That hit my like a train, I had travelled to not only a completely different location, but happened to end up 68 years in the past, what the fuck....
Y/N: Okay... So can we please get the fuck out of here, this place is creeping me the hell out.
???: Of Course.
The group then makes their way out of the building, and on the way back to what I can only assume was their safehouse.
One last glance showed just how tall the structure truly was.
Y/N: Holy Shit...
Timeskip
These kids took me to an apartment building, but they called it a dorm so it doesn't really matter.
After getting comfortable, they begins to long winded questions.
???: So, what is your name?
Y/N: Y/N..
They look at each other.
???: No last name?
Y/N: Nope. You introduce yourselves?
???: Of course, My name is Mitsuru, that is Yukari.
The Auburn haired girl waves.
Mitsuru: That is Junpei.
The boy with the hat nods.
Mitsuru: This is Akihiko.
The White haired boy nods as well.
Mitsuru: This is Fukka.
The Teal haired girl waves.
Mitsuru: This is Ken.
The small boy waves.
Mitsuru: That is Koromaru.
The dog barks back.
Mitsuru: This is Aigis.
The blonde girl simple stands still.
Mitsuru: And this is our leader, Makoto.
The blue haired boy nods.
Mitsuru: And we make up S.E.E.S, a group tasked with eliminating shadows in Tarturus.
Y/N: Okay, and how do you go about doing that with barely any firepower?
Mitsuru: With this.
She pulls out a small sliver handgun.
Y/N: That, really?
Mitsuru: This is an evoker, its used to summon what we call Persona. A manifestation of our desires to fight for us.
The power to summon an otherwordly entity to fight for you. That's a first..
Mitsuru: Moving on, how do you do that with your arms.
Y/N: Like I said before, they are cybernetics, I actually have more, but they are more psychological then physical.
Junpei: That's weird, I pretty sure stuff like Cybernetics are thing of fiction, for the most part.
Y/N: To you it may be, but for me, it's as basic and walking down the street.
Mitsuru: With technology like that, I would happen to ask if you were from another time period.
Y/N: Of course, I come from the year 2077.
Everyone in the room is completely shocked by that. A man from the far future just appeared with technology far from the future.
Junpei: No way! That's impossible!
Y/N: I got proof.
I pull my ID that I happen to have on me revealing my birthday to be in April, in the year 2058
Akihiko: Oh my god, he isn't lying.
Yukari: But how did you end up here.
Y/N: It's a long and complex story, but the tl;dr is that I happen to end up here on my own volition.
Mitsuru: Well, with your skills and arsenal, would you be interested in joining our group.
I contemplated that offer. On one hand, these were just school kids, way over their heads. On the other, they had a power like no one else. It was a no brainer.
Y/N: Sounds like a deal.
Makoto shakes his head in approval.
Mitsuru: Alright, I'll give you an armband and show you your room. Follow me.
She walks away as I follow here, and the rest looked on as the as give a rockstar hand gesture.
This was gonna be fun.....
