Last time on Persona Railgun.........

"Yeah. My mom is the kind of person that always wants to help people. Come on, I will lead the way." Said Mason.

Mason begins to walk up the steps in the station with Mikoto following him. Just as they got on the surface, they heard a buzz on their phones.

Mason pulled out his phone and saw a app with a red eye on it. Same thing on Mikoto phone as well.

'What kind of app is this?' They thought at the same time.

Suddenly, the people that were going on on their daily life stopped moving. The sky turned red as well.

'What the......' Thought Mikoto.

Suddenly, near the streets, two large pillars of blue flames erupted into the sky. One was atomic blue and the other was lightning colored blue.

Both Mason and Mikoto looked at the pillars with a shocked look on their face. The two pillars begin to take a shape as glowing eyes appeared in it.

I am Thou.... thou art.....

Suddenly, in a second, everyone went back to normal. The people were walking again and the sky was back to its normal color.

Not wanting to know what just happened, they deleted the mysterious app on their phones and Mason continues to lead the way to his home. But they can't help but wonder, what was that a second ago.

This is the beginning of a future group that will save this world from ruin. This is the birth of the 'Phantom Thieves'.

The screen is black as multiple letters begin to move around at super fast speed before coming together to form the story title. A lighting bot striked in the middle of that title.

Persona Railgun

================================================================

A few minutes later...........

"Here we are." Said Mason as he stops infront of a nice three story building. It was clean on the outside and has a nice balcony on each floor.

"This is where you live?" Asked Mikoto.

"Yeah. Me and my mom live here." Said Mason as he walks up to the entrance and rings the door bell.

"Hello?" asked a female voice from the speaker above the door bell.

"Hey mom. Its me. I am back. And with the person that will be looking after that new transfer student." Said Mason.

"Oh! Great. Come on in." Said Mason mom.

Mason open up the door and let Mikoto go in first. The hallways are white with the wood floor sparking and shiny. Their was an elevator and some stairs to goes either up or down for people.

"Oh! You must be Mikoto Misaka!" Said a female voice. 

A person walk down the steps and presented herself to the guest.She had long brown hair and is wearing a government suit. She has green eyes.

"Hello. My name is Abby. It is a pleasure to meat the Railgun of Tokiwadai." Said Abby as she walked over to Mikoto and shakes her hand in a friendly way.

"Oh... um... its nice to meet you to." Said Mikoto.

"Why don't I show you to your room?" asked Abby.

"Okay." Said Mikoto as she begins to follow Abby.

"Oh and by the way.. I already contacted the school where the person you are suppose to be watching over be going to. They seem okay of letting someone who is not a student from that academy, enter there." Said Abby.

"Wow. I guess.... that is great news." Said Mikoto.

"I know. Hey, Mason. Why don't you go to bed? Its getting late and I will have to work again at night time after I show Mikoto her room." Said Abby with a sad look.

"Its fine mom. I know that government stuff can be stressful." Said Mason.

As Abby begins to show Mikoto to her guest room, Mason went into his room. The moment he entered his room, he let out a stress breath.

His room was a normal room that has tons of books and kaiju related books and stuff. He has a study bench with a picture frame on it. He walked up to it and picked it up before gently putting it back down.

He let out a loud yawn as he sat on his bed. Just before could close his eyes, he heard a beep on his phone. He pull his phone out and he saw that mysterious app again.

'Didn't I.. delete that app already?' Thought Mason.

Mason was too tired to delete the app again. He just lay his head on the pillow and went to sleep.

======================================

Unknown.........

Mason opened up his eyes and let out a gasp. He looked around to see that he is not in his room anymore and is somehow on a fancy couch. The area around him is white and blue at the same time. Their is a blue fog near the surface of this area.

"What the..... what in the world?" Mason was confused.

He heard a small giggle and Mason looked to his left to see a man sitting in a chair near a desk. He is wearing a butler outfit and has a long pointy nose and bloodshot eyes. This is Igor(The Real One)

"Hello. And Welcome to the temporally Velvet Room." Said Igor.

"Who.... who are you? Where am I?" asked Mason as he was clearly confused.

"I can see that you are confused. Allow me to shed some light on the subject. My name is Igor. And this place is a temporally Velvet Room. A Place the exists between dream and reality, mind and matter." Said Igor.

"What do you meany by temporally?" Asked Mason.

"That is a story for another time. I must say, I am amazed that you were able to reach me, despite not making a contract with me." Said Igor.

"Contract?" Asked Mason.

"You will understand in the future. But know this, the world is about to face a horrible fate. Do you wish to save the world from a fate?" Asked Igor.

"I rather not let the world die." Said Mason.

Igor let out a amusing giggle. "Excellent. Now then, it is about time you wake up. We will see each other again, once you have awake your true power." Said Igor.

=============================

Early Morning, April 11.......

Mason opened up his eyes and see that he is back in his room and on his bed. 'What was that weird dream?' Thought Mason.

Not wanting to think about that, he quickly took a bath and change into the Shujin outfit. He went into a room that is a large kitchen. He sees Mikoto eating her breakfast.

"Oh good morning." Said Mikoto before swallowing what was in her mouth.

"Good morning." Said Mason as he picks a cereal to eat and begins to eat it.

Abby walks in with a newspaper in her hand. "Man... all they talk about is the psychotic and mental shutdowns that has been going on. Is this really what people are talking about now a days?" asked Abby as she begins to eat a apple for breakfast.

"It is the story of the century." Mason sarcastically said.

"Mental shutdowns?" asked Mikoto.

"People have been reported to suddenly stop thinking and speaking all together. Its like they are no longer alive. And no one can figure out what is the cause of all this." Said Abby.

"Not even the police can figure it out." Said Mason.

"Enough about that. Don't you two need to go?" asked Abby.

"Oh shoot! Your right. Lets go Mikoto." Said Mason as he quickly grabbed his back and begins to run to the station.

"Hey wait for me!" Said Mikoto as she tried to keep up with Mason.

"Stay safe!" Said Abby as she watches them leave. "Stay safe........." Abby repeated that in a worry tone.

====================================

Aoyama-Itchome Station.................

After getting on different subway stations, Mikoto and Mason finally reach the station that is near Shujin Academy. As they walk up the steps, they heard the sounds of rain.

Just as they walk up the steps, they bump into someone. This person has black hair and glassed. Akira Kurusu.

"Hey, you must be that guy right? The one that I am suppose to be watching over at Shujin Academy?" Asked Mikoto as she takes a photo out of her pocket of the person she is suppose to be watching at Shujin Academy.

"Yeah." Said Akira. "Just call me Akira."

"My name is Mikoto Misaka. Its is nice to meet you." Said Mikoto as she introduce herself to him.

"And I am Mason." Said Mason as he shook the guys hand in a friendly way.

They then notice a female student right next to Akira. She pull down her head to reveal two twin ash blond pigtails. Ann Takamaki.

A car pull up next to the station and the left side of the car window was lowered. Mason looked to his right to avoid looking who is in there. Mikoto look in their so see a adult in gym clothes.

"Good morning. You want me to give you a ride to school? You're gonna be late." Said a male voice in the car.

Ann nodded her head and begins get into the car. The person in the driving seat asked Akira if he needs a lift as well but he waved his hand in a no thank you way.

Just before the car window as rising back up, both Akira and Mikoto saw a sad look on Ann face. Just as the car begins to drive away, the sounds of someone running was coming in close.

"Grr.... Screw that pervy teacher." Said a boy that has blond hair and a rebellious attitude. Ryuji Sakamoto.

"Pervy.... teacher?" Akira repeated what the guy said. 

"Huh?" Ryuji turned around to see Akira. "What? You going to rat me out to Kamoshida?" Ryuji asked Akira in a annoying voice.

"Ryuji. What did I told you about jumping to conclusions?" Asked Mason.

"Oh Mason... I am sorry." Said Ryuji.

"*Sigh* Guys. Let me introduce you to Ryuji Sakamoto." Said Mason.

"Kamoshida?" asked Akira.

"The one who was in that car just a minute okay. He thinks he is the king of a castle." Said Ryuji.

"Castle?" asked Akira.

"Wait..... do you not know Kamoshida?" Asked Ryuji.

"He is the new transfer student for Shujin Academy." Said Mason.

"Oh! I see. Well, I am sorry for getting angry. I will make it up to you by helping you get to Shujin a lot faster." Said Ryuji. Just as he turns around, Mikoto, Ryuji, Mason and Akira suddenly had a headache.

Not wasting any more time, Ryuji begins to take them on a shortcut through some always. When Akira steps on a large puddle, he felt something was off. He turns around but didn't see anything.

"Whats wrong?" asked Mikoto.

"Nothing. I just thought I felt something was behind me." Said Akira.

"Hey what the heck?!" Ryuji voice.

Mason ran to catch up to Ryuji and he can't believe what he is seeing. "Oh my god!" Said Mason.

Mikoto and Akira caught up with them to see it as well. The place where the Academy is suppose to be, is a giant castle.

"What the heck is going on?" Asked Mikoto. "Since when is their a castle here?"

"I don't know. Lets just...... go check it out." Said Ryuji.

They begin to walk into the castle entrance. They were unaware that the place they are in, is not a normal one.

===================================

Inside the Strange Castle........

They were now in some strange massive hall. It was confusing to Mason and Ryuji. Something is not right here.

"Hey Mason, the sign said Shujin Academy right?" asked Ryuji.

"It did. But why is a castle here instead of the school?" asked Mason.

"How should I know? What do you two think?" Asked Ryuji as he asked Mikoto and Akira.

"Beats me." Said Akira.

"I feel like something is not right here and we just walked into a unknown territory." Said Mikoto.

Suddenly they herd some metal clanks. They turn to their right to see a strange being with a knight armor and a strange mask walks up to them.

"Geez man. You scare the crap out of us." Said Ryuji.

"Hey....... um Ryuji. I don't think this guy is a member of our school." Said Mason.

"What? Come one, its got to be. Their is no way this is real." Said Ryuji.

"I don't they are Ryuji. They don't look even human. I can't even see a human face behind that strange mask of theirs." Said Mason.

"For real?" Asked Ryuji.

"Is this a prank?" Akira asked them in a confused tone.

"Dude! We don't know!" Said Ryuji and Mason.

Just then three more strange armor beings walked up to them and surrounded them. This is bad.

"This is real." Said Ryuji as he just realize that Mason is right.

"Run!" Said Mason.

"This might give us some time to get away!" Said Mikoto. Mikoto bangs begins to spark and she launches her lighting at some of the mysterious beings. 

"Now we should run!" Said Mikoto as the others agreed with her.

Just before they could run away, more appeared and they used their shields to knock them out.

=======================================

A few minutes later.....

"Hey wake up......... Hey! You three okay?" asked a familiar male voice.

Mason, Mikoto and Akira slowly woke up. They saw Ryuji looking at them. They begin to sit straight up.

"We are okay Ryuji. Where are we?" Asked Mason.

"I don't know. When I woke up, I notice that we are in a prison cell." Said Ryuji. They were in some kind of old brick wall cell that has some chains on the walls and a old bed in it.

"What the heck is going on? Are we in some kind of movie set?" asked Ryuji.

They all just head a loud painful scream. They ran up to the cell bars to look at the direction of where it is coming from.

"Oh man...... is this real?" Asked Ryuji.

"This can't be......... what is going on here?" Asked Mikoto.

"Oh man, oh man, oh man. We need to find a way out of here!" Said Mason as he begins to look around the room to find a way out.

They then heard some metal foot steps approaching them. It was a bunch of the things that knocked them out.

"Be glad that your punishment has already been decided. For breaking in and unauthorized entry, thus you have been sentence to death." Said one of the mysterious knights.

"What!?" Mason slam his hands against the metal bars in anger. "What kind of person decides that? We did nothing wrong!" 

"No one is allowed into my castle and do as they wish." A familiar voice was heard as it approach their cell.

It was a guy that has a fancy rob over him and a golden crown on his head. His face is recognizable to Mason and Ryuji.....

"Kamoshida!?" they ask the same time. That's right it is Kamoshida but he looks different.

"Wait....... this is the same guy from before? The one that was in that car? But he looks different." Said Mikoto.

"Whats going on here?" Ryuji asked.

"I don't know!" Said Mikoto.

"I thought it was just some thieves entering my castle but it turns out to be you two Sakamoto and Mason. It seems you didn't learn your lesson the last time. Do you want me to teach you naves again?" asked Kamoshida?

"This isn't' funny you stupid teacher!" said Mason.

"Yeah! What he said!" Said Ryuji.

"Talking back to a king? You have just sealed your fate." Said Kamoshida? "Kill them!"

The knights open up the cell door and walks into the room. They begin to surround the group. Suddenly, Ryuji slams into one and knocks it down.

"GO! I will hold them off!" Said Ryuji.

"Ryuji! No!" Said Mason but a knight pushed him up against a wall and hold him there.

Ryuji was knocked down again by one of the knights shield. Akira tried to help but he and Mikoto were knocked up against the wall. Some of the knights used their arms to keep them there.

"Hold those three there. After the peasant, they are next to die." Said Kamoshida as one of his knights grabs Ryuji by his throat and holds him up and has its sword ready to stab him.

"What's the matter...? Are you simply going to watch?" A male voice was heard inside of Akira head. "Are you forsaking to save yourself? Death awaits him if you do nothing. Was your previous decision a mistake then?" As Akira was remind of his decision of what lead him to get accused of, despite trying to help someone.

"....it wasn't." Akira said.

"Akira are you okay?" Asked Mason.

"Very well...I have heeded your resolve." Suddenly Akira begins to breath heavily and feels something within him was growing. "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!" Akira then lets out a painful scream.

"Akira!" Said Mikoto and Mason as they were worried about him.

"Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!" The voice inside of Akira has said to him.

"Are you simply going to let this scum do has be pleases again?" A voice was heard inside of Mason head. It sound ancient and powerful. "Are you simply done with rotten adults do as they wish and avoid their justice?" 

"No.... I am tired of that." said Mason.

"Very well. I accept your choice." Suddenly Mason begins to feel extreme pain in his brain. "Then vow to me. I am thou, thou art I. Its time this world gets a wake call and know that true criminals can not escape the judgment of of this world!" Mason let out a painful scream as he felt like he was feeling he was getting the worse headache ever.

"Mason!" Mikoto was now worried for Mason at the moment.

"Call my name and unleash the power that will burn those who stand your way to ash!" The voice in Mason head finished saying.

"Are you tired of sitting on the sidelines and don't have the power to change the inescapable fate? The power to wish you can stop corrupted people and save many lives?" A voice was now heard inside of Mikoto head.

"Yes. Give me the power to save Ryuji and my friends." Said Mikoto.

"Very well. Lets forge a contract now." Mikoto eyes were wide open as she felt like something was happening to her. "I am thou, thou art I. You have true power that was lock inside of you. It is time that you unleash it!"

Mikoto let out a gasp as she can feel something incredible forming within her. "Let the true power of a god, strike all those that try to corrupt this world!" Said the voice inside of her. 

After hearing what the voices were talking inside of their heads, they felt anger formed with them. They look at Kamoshida and narrowed their eyes at him and gritted their teeth.

"Execute him!" The Kamoshida pointed his finger at Ryuji.

"Enough!" Said Mikoto, Mason and Akira.

"What was that?" Kamoshida looked back at the others as he can't believe what he just heard. The knight that was holding Ryuji lets go of him. Ryuji gasps for air as he drops to the floor in pain.

"So you want to be killed that much? Fine." Said Kamoshida? He made a nod and one of the knights hit them in the head with their shields.

Just as the knights were about to kill them off, Mikoto, Mason and Akira opened up their eyes and a powerful wind knock the knights away from them.

When they felt something was on them, it was a mask.

Akira Mask:

Mikoto Mask:

Mason Mask:

They each grab the ends on their own mask and begin to take it off. They want it off so badly. They are done with this false self. They want it off!

Their masks were stuck to their face. They pull even harder off of them and they finally got it off. When they removed it, blood was leaking from their forehead. They each let out a painful scream.

They felt.... good. Better even. When they raised their heads to look at Kamoshida direction, their eyes were now golden and they were smirking.

"Persona." Was all they said.

(Watch this video until about 3:40 of the video.)

https://youtu.be/AdOu1lvxD7M

Each of them were covered in blue flames as the blood that was leaking was gone and the wounds were healed up. A devil like chuckle came from the flames that were covering Akira. A powerful grow was heard from Mason flames. A powerful grunt was heard from Mikoto flames.

The flames completely covered them up. The flames begin to rise above Akira and leave his body as he was now wearing a more stylish outfit.

When the flames left Mason, his outfit was gone and he is wearing something else. He is now wearing a green combat suit with his gloves are made of lizard skin and have sharp claws at the end. His boots are military combat style.

The flames that were surrounding Mikoto left and she was wearing something totally different. She was wearing a skin tight blue pants and has a combat battle viking style skirt. Her shoes are now boots that are viking style and have wing like attachments on them. She wears a viking style armor and finger less style gloves. She wears a viking helmet with wing attachments on it. In her right hand was a legendary hammer that belongs to a legendary viking god.

The flames behind them begin to take shape. The humans that have summoned them spread their arms out and the figures reveal their true form as the wind was generating from them was powerful enough to knock down all the knights in the cell.

The flames that took shape behind Akira is demon with a red stylish outfit. Arsène.

The flames that took shape behind Mikoto is Thor.

The flames that took shape behind Mason is Godzilla.

With no guards to protected him at the moment, Kamoshida crawls on the floor to get away from the danger he is seeing.

"What the hell............?" Ryuji was speechless.

Mikoto, Mason and Akira had a smirk on their faces as they were about to unleash this power on any foes that stand in their way.

"Who did you say that was going to die today Kamoshida!?" They asked in a mocking tone.

The group has found a castle of where school should be. They are locked in a prison cell and Kamoshida is somehow king here. Mikoto, Akira and Mason has unleash a new power that was within them. What is this power and can they get out of this strange place?

=============================

To Be Continued..........
