Last Time on Persona Railgun..........

Suddenly, a painful, chilled scream was heard from within inside the castle. It made everyone jumpy and on edge.

"What was that?!" Said Ryuji.

"It must be the slaves captive here." Said Morgana

"Your serous?" asked Mikoto. The scream was heard again and it sounded more painful than ever.

"Oh shoot..... its for real!" Said Ryuji.

"We saw other guys held captive here. I think they maybe from our school." Said Mason.

"Most likely on Kamoshida orders." Said Morgana.

"Huh? What do you mean by that Morgana?" asked Mikoto.

"Its nothing out of the ordinary. Its like that everyday here. Whats more, you four escape yesterday. He must have lost his temper quite a bit." Said Morgana.

"That lousy......... stupid....." Both Mason and Ryuji growled from hearing this.

"Um....Ryuji?" asked Morgana.

"Mason?" asked Mikoto.

"THIS IS MESSED UP!" They both screamed and charged at the locked main doors and slam into it. "YOU HEAR US KAMOSHIDA!?"

"Doing that isn't going to open it you know. Still, it seems like you have your reasons." Said Morgana.

"Hey Monamona." Said Ryuji.

Morgana narrowed his eyes at Ryuji. "Its MORGANA!" Said Morgana.

"Do you know where those voices are coming from?" asked Ryuji.

"You want me to take you to them? Well, I suppose I could take you there, only these three come along as well." Said Morgana as he points to the three Persona Users in the group.

"Okay." Said Akira.

"Sure." Said Mason.

"You got a deal." Said Mikoto.

"Its settled then." Said Morgana as he smiled from that answer.

"Alright. Thanks man." Said Ryuji.

Morgana then walks over to the ventilation shaft they used to escape last time. "This is our infiltration point." Said Morgana.

"Ain't that what we used to escape?" asked Mason.

"Yes. Not barging through the main entrance is one the basics of phantom thievery." Said Morgana.

"How are we suppose to know about that stuff?" asked Ryuji.

Morgana leap on a near by barrel and leaps into the open ventilation shaft. "I will make sure to teach you as we go. Come on, follow me." Said Morgana as he hops inside.

"Hey, sorry for dragging you three into this. I just can't accept that no Kamoshida of doing what ever the hell he wants." Said Ryuji.

"Its no problem Ryuji. You are not the only one that hates his guts." Said Mason. "I just want to know what exactly is going on here as well."

"Really though, thank you for coming along, I owe you three big time." Said Ryuji with a smile.

"Your welcome in advance." Said Akira.

After he said that, he and the other three climbed into the ventilation shaft and begins to crawl inside the castle.

The Mysterious castle was still on the three Persona users minds. Ryuji wanted to go back their to look for answers. They used the app to travel to another reality where the school is the castle and the ruler is Kamoshida. Now, Morgana is going to lead them to where those screams are coming from. Can they reach to where those screams are coming from without getting caught?

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

Inside Castle.........

The others entered the room where the Ventilation shaft has lead them. Morgana asked them to do exactly as he says. As they exit the room and begin to sneaky walk across the Main Hall way, the room become distorted for a moment to changed into this:

The distortion turn back to into the main central hall way. For a moment, it looked like a part of Shujin. Not wanting to stick around, they continue to make their way to the dungeon.

The walk down the steps and quickly hide behind a open metal door. They peek out to see that their is a Shadow knight that is standing in their way from the draw bridge that is behind him. Its seems that this Shadow is what keeping the bridge from lowering again. The Shadow knight is walking around to look for intruders.

"Shoot. I had a feeling that their would be guards here." Said Morgana.

"Looks like we are going to have to start fighting our way forward." Said Morgana.

"F-For real?" asked Ryuji.

"Oh boy. I will teach you the basic of battle. Always try to ambush enemies instead of rushing everywhere headlong. Attack from behind and jump on their backs." Said Morgana.

"Why?" Asked Mikoto.

"You will need to do it in order to grab their masks. Once you have ribbed their masks off of them, the rulers control over them will be momentarily weakened. Giving us a chance to strike." Said Morgana.

"I see." Said Akira as he sneaky walks up to the Shadow when he isn't looking. He then jumped on his back. "No more masks! Show me your true form!" He then ribs the guards mask off.

The Shadow turn into one of those 3 floating pumpkin monsters. "The first move is ours!" Said Morgana.

"Ravage them Arsene!" Said Akira order his Persona to swing his blade boots at one of the pumpkins.

"Zap them Thor!" Said Mikoto as she summed her Persona to strike down a Pushkin monster in one shot.

"Slash at them, Godzilla!" Said Mason his Person slashed at the last pumpkin monster into nothing.

With the Shadow gone, the bridge was lowered now and they can go across it. When they got across it, Ryuji found something troubling.

"Why ain't anyone here?" asked Ryuji as he is looking inside a empty jail cell. "They were here before, where did they go?!"

"Quite down!" Said Morgana as he tried to make Ryuji lower his voice.

"Oh yeah, their were more of them further in too!" Said Ryuji as he runs ahead to look for more of the captured people.

"Looks like they are transferred already." Said Morgana as he quickly guessed where the people are.

Ryuji suddenly comes back towards them. "Crap! I can here some footsteps. And their are a lot of them." As he was panicking.

"It would be a problem if we were discovered." Said Morgana. He then noticed a door that was acting a little bit hazy. "In here quick." The others followed Morgan through the hazy door entrance.

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

Safe Room...........

"The Shadows probably won't come in here." Said Morgana as he hops on a wooden table in the room. The others took a second to catch a breath.

"How can you tell that Morgana?" asked Mikoto.

"Their is a lack of distortion here. Meaning, the rulers control over this area is weak." Said Morgana.

Suddenly, the room become distorted as it reveals where room represents in the real world. It represents the classrooms.

"What the heck?" Asked Mason.

The Room changed back to a dungeon room as Ryuji figured out what the room just looked like a second ago.

"Is this...... a classroom?" asked Ryuji.

"Now do you understand? This place is another reality that the ruler heart projects." Said Morgana.

"This is Kamoshida reality? This makes no sense!" Said Ryuji.

"I think Morgana is trying to say is that, because of his own desires, he created a reality where he is the king of the school and he can do what ever he wants." Said Mikoto.

"Exactly Lady Mikoto. And I call such place a 'Palace'." Said Morgana.

"A.... Palace?" asked Mason.

"Just like Lady Mikoto said, this is happening because he views the school as his own castle." Said Morgana.

"So it became like this, because he thought of it?" asked Ryuji.

"I am afraid so Ryuji. It just give us another reason to hate him even more than you and I already do." Said Mason.

"You two must really hate this Kamoshida guy." Said Morgana as he can guess an uneasy history between them and Kamoshida.

"Hate doesn't even begin to cover how we feel. Everything is that mans fault!" Said Ryuji and Mason.

"I don't know what happened between you two, but don't let your emotions get the better of you. His lackeys are everywhere inside." Said Morgana.

"Okay......" Said Ryuji and Morgana.

"You three are curious about your outfits aren't you?" asked Morgana.

"Yeah, I am." Said Mikoto as she looks at her outfit.

"Thats also because of this world." Said Morgana like it is simple to understand.

"More stuff that makes no sense." Said Ryuji.

"Anything distorts according to how the ruler pleases within his Palace. A school can turn to a castle after all. In order to prevent such distortions, one must have a powerful will of rebelion." Said Morgana.

"You mean..... that our outfits represents our rebel side? Like this how we see ourselfs when act rebel against this world Kamoshida?" asked Akira.

"Yes. You are correct." Said Morgana.

"I am so tired of this! I am more curious about your than their clothes! What the hell are you anyway?" asked Ryuji.

"I am a human. A honest to god human!" Said Morgana. This surprised everyone.

"No, your obviously more like a cat!" Said Ryuji.

"Well that's.... because I lost my true form. ...I think." Said Morgana.

"You think?" asked Mason.

"But I know how to regain my true form. The reason I snuck in here was for a preliminary investigation of those means. Well I..... got caught in the end though. Besides, I have been tortured by Kamoshida too. I am going to pay him back for sure." Said Morgana.

"Man.... this gets weird and more crazy." Said Mason.

"If we want to keep going than we need to hurry along. I will be counting on your skills Rookies." Said Morgana as he told this to the three Persona users.

"Oh wait. I brought something for you three. I thought it might come in handy......." Said Ryuji as he pulls out a toy gun, a small wrist gun toy, and a technology hand held rail gun toy from his coat pockets.

"Those are toys." Said Morgana.

"But it looks real enough. Real enough to fake out some of the guards. And I brought some medicine just encase." Said Ryuji.

"So you were planing to come here from the start." Said Morgana. "Well fine, if you are ready to go, then lets continue our infiltration." The three Persona Users grabbed the toy weapons that suits them and the medicine that Ryuji has brought along. With that being said, they begin to leave the Safe Room.

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

Outside of Safe Room........

Outside of the Safe Room, the Shadow knights were talking about if they heard something coming by here. And of course the other Shadows didn't see anything. They mentioned that all the prisoners have been transferred to some kind of 'training hall'. And the Shadow knights left the area near the Safe Room entrance.

"Did you hear that?" Asked Morgana as they left the Safe Room.

"Yeah. Something about training hall. That must be where they are at the moment." Said Mason.

"But whats this about training?" Asked Mikoto.

"What ever is going through that mans head, it isn't going to be training." Said Ryuji.

"Come on lets get going." Said Morgana.

They walk down the steps from where they were. Akira looks to his left to see a metal barred door that is blocking the way to a different part of the dungeon.

"Hey, I think this might be where we need to go." Said Akira. "But the metal barred door is blocking the way."

"That thing is going to be hard to open. Maybe we can find something to pick it up?" asked Morgana.

"Heh. Allow me." Said Mason as he stretches his fingers and limbs. He grabbed the bottom of the metal barred door and begins to try to lift it up. In a matter of seconds, he was able to pick it up and toss it away.

"Hehe. Ta da!" Mason said to the others. The other members clapped their hands, or paws for Morgana case, to the sight they just saw. Once that as done, they enter through the entrance that the metal barred door was once blocking.

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

Underground Corridor........

They entered into a different part of the dungeon. They walked down some steps. They peek around the corner to see a Shadow talking to another Shadow.

"Hey did you see anybody yet?" asked Shadow number one

"No, not yet." Said Shadow number two.

"Well keep looking. I am going to head back to my post at guarding the training hall entrance." Said Shadow number two as that Shadow knight turned around and left that Shadow in the hallway it is protecting.

"Shoot. Not much places to hide. And we can't keep dodging and hiding from them forever." Said Mikoto.

"Your right Lady Mikoto. It would be impossible at this rate." Said Morgana.

"Then what do we do? Should you four try to take them down like before?" asked Ryuji.

"Its not that simple. We still have a long way to go. We need to conserve our energy." Said Morgana.

"I-I see. Dang it. I wish I can help more but all I got is this toy from earlier. I am such a loser." Said Ryuji as he feels like he is useless at the moment.

"Wait......those guns..... this will work. We will use those to take them down." Said Morgana.

"What?! But is is a fake gun! It doesn't shoot even pellets." Said Ryuji as he thinks the cat has lost his mind.

"Trust me on this. Ready Fuzzy Hair?" Asked Morgana.

"Dude. I keep telling you, it doesn't shoot anything." Said Ryuji.

Akira leap out from the corner and jumped on the shadow back. "I will reveal your true form!" Said Akira as he rips off the mask as the Shadow turns into a pumpkin monster and a humanoid plant like Shadow.

"Okay. point your gun out and fire!" Said Morgana.

"Alright here goes." Said Akira as he points his gun at the pumpkin monster and pull the trigger multiple times..... and about eight bullet came out of it and striked the pumpkin monster! it destroyed the pumpkin monster.

"What the!?" asked Mikoto as she was confused.

"How about that? Surprised?" Asked Morgana.

"Yes! Very!" Said Mason.

"I am glad. There are some instances were rapid fire is going to help you a lot more than your melee weapons. But you will run out of ammo by doing that. But it is a lot better than letting it collect dust." Said Morgana.

"I see." Said Mikoto.

"Here is my weapon." Said Morgana as he pulls out a slingshot and fired a metal ball at the plant Shadow and killed it.

"Dude! Those fake guns shot real bullets! Just like the real ones!" Said Ryuji.

"Because they look real enough, the Shadow assumed it is real so they work just like the ones on games or the ones in real life." Said Morgana.

"So in short, because of this world, fake guns and toy guns work here?" asked Mason.

"Yes. That is correct." Said Morgana.

"But Akira wasted all of his bullet." Said Mikoto.

"His ammo supply will replenished itself after the battle is over." Said Morgana. 

"I see. The more we try to understand this place, the more surprised we are on new information." Said Mason.

They continue to walk through the hallway and eventually walking over a short bridge. Akira and Mason peaked their heads around the corner to see that other Shadow is infront of a wood door frame.

"A guard. I am pretty sure that where he is guarding is where we need to go." Said Morgana.

"Your going to take it down like the others?" asked Ryuji.

"Yes.... wait. I have a better idea." Said Morgana.

"A new move?" Asked Akira.

"Yes. Follow my lead and I will teach you." Said Morgana as he ran towards the shadow and latched onto the Shadows face.

"What the?" Said the Shadow before Morgana ripped his mask off.

The Shadow bend backwards before turning into a small humanoid Shadow with fairy wings.

"Alright. I am going to teach you all a new battle move. First step is, use a Shadow weakness to knock down your enimes." Said Morgana.

Mason pull out his wrist gun and put it on his left wrist and pointed at the fairy Shadow. He tighten his fist and the wrist gun fired a round of bullets at the Shadow. THe fairy Shadow let out a pain sound as it was hit by its weakness.

The four Persona Users surrounded it and pointed their weapons at the Shadow. "Second Step! All-out-Attack!" Said Morgana.

The others jumped backwards and jump into the air. The only thing you can see is a shadow silhouettes of them striking the fairy Shadow at super fast speed. They each landed a good distance away from Shadow and did some poses.

"Shows over." Said Akira.

"Mission Complete." Said Morgana.

"You just got burned!" Said Mason as he strikes his left fist into his open right hand and had a confidant smirk on his face.

"I have smite you to Hell!!" Said Mikoto as she placed her hammer over her shoulder  and placed her left hand on her hips and did a wink.

The Shadow behind them spray out black blood before the shadow itself turned into nothing. Ryuji slowly approach them in total shock. 

"Was that some kind of SUPER move thing you all did just a second ago? I mean you were all so cool!" Said Ryuji.

"Its called a All-Out-Attack. If you manage to knock down all of your enemies to the floor and weaken them to the point of near death, you can perform that move to take them all out in one shot." Said Morgana.

"That is pretty cool. I might get used to this. Now then, lets see what that guard was hiding." Said Mason as he opened up the door to see.......... another door on the other side of the room with a banner over the entrance that said 'Kamoshida Training Hall of Love'. They walk through the door into that room.

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

Training Hall of Love.........

Once they entered their, the screams they once heard from outside of the castle were in here and were very close. 

"It sounds like we are close." Said Mason.

"Yeah.... close to finding out something that will be horrifying I bet." Said Mikoto.

"Hey I think its coming from over there." Said Ryuji as he points to a barred window.

They got closer to a barred window and looked down through it. All the male captives had their hands up against a Volleyball net and the Shadow Knights were striking their backs with spears. The captives were even cryings, just letting out sounds of pain.

"Their.... students from Shujin aren't they?" Asked Mikoto.

"Yeah. Most likely. After all, the castle is the school that Kamoshida views." Said Akira. "This is messed up."

"THIS IS BEYOND MESSED UP! THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Said Mason and Ryuji.

"Be quite! The Shadows might hear you." Said Morgana as he told them to keep their voices down.

"How can we be clam after seeing this! Mason, help me take this down!" Said Ryuji as he tries to pull at the barred Window.

"Roger." Said Mason as he begins to help Ryuji pull on it.

"Stop....." a voice was heard. A student that is wearing gym uniform walks up to the barred window from their side. "Please leave us alone. It is useless."

"What?" Asked Mason. "What are you talking about?"

"If we just obey like we are told, we won't get executed like you guys." Said another male student who walks up to them.

"You want to stay in a place like this?" Asked Ryuji.

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me that you were planing on busting them all out of here." Said Morgana.

"We can't just leave them here." Said Mason.

"I get how stupid Ryuji is but how stupid can YOU be?" asked Morgana.

"What?" Asked Mason and Ryuji.

"Listen to me. Their only human beings inside of Kamoshida Cognition!" Said Morgana. "Their aren't real humans that entered from reality. They are different from you two."

"You mean......" Said Mason.

"It means their is no point in saving them! Their different from the real ones in the real world. You can say that the ones you are seeing, are extreme similar looking dolls." Said Morgana.

"Great..... so the school is a castle and the students are his slaves here. This really is the inside of that monster head." Said Mason.

"Still though this is horrible." Said Morgana as he approaches the barred Window. "Its must mean that he treats them like slaves in the real world too."

"In the real world too?" Asked Ryuji. "Wait! I recognize these guys! Their from our volleyball team! The one that Kamoshida teaches for!"

"It must by physical abused in the real world too. Their is no way they be beaten up so easily." Said Morgana.

"I have heard rumors that Kamoshida uses some kind of physical punishment but I didn't think they were real." Said Mason.

"Until we seen it with out own eyes. If this keeps up, they won't get the chance to heal properly and they might not last a year left in this school." Said Akira.

"Lets use these guys for evidence." Said Mikoto as she brought out her phone to take a picture of what they are seeing but........

"Huh? My camera is not working." Said Mikoto.

"You gotta be kidding me." Said the others. They tried to camera functions on their phones but it is not working.

"So we can use the app but the camera is a no go here?" asked Ryuji.

"App?" Asked Morgana.

"Its what we used to get here. If cameras won't work, then me and Ryuji will have to try the old fashion way. We will have to try to remember their faces." Said Mason.

"Yeah right. Just give us a few seconds." Said Ryuji. "There done. Now lets get out of here."

"Good enough for me." Said Morgana as they begin to run out of the dungeon madness they just saw.

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

Central Hall.......................

They exited the dungeon and were trying to run back to the ventilation shaft they came through from outside. Just before that happens, the 'King' Kamoshida appeared, AKA Shadow Kamoshida, along with his Shadow knights and a golden Shadow knight.

"Oh come on!" Said Mikoto.

"You knaves again?" asked Shadow Kamoshida. "To think you'd make the same mistake again. your hopeless."

"This school isn't your castle!" Said Mikoto

"We risked our lives here to find out what you were doing to this people you have captive." Said Mason.

"Its over for you monster! I memorize their faces real good. Its over for you! You are so going down!" Said Ryuji.

"So its true when they say the "barking dogs seldom bite". To think the two rising track team stars would have fallen this much." Kamoshida taunted them. This causes Ryuji and Mason to look away in shame.

"Track stars?" Asked Mikoto.

"You didn't know? I am talking about the two students who ruined their teams hopes and dreams. To think you would blindly follow these two to death. Kill them!" Order Kamoshida.

The Shadow knights turn into multiple black horses with green curled inwards horns. "We will kill because King Kamoshida told us to!" Said one of the horned horses.

The begin to charge at them. Mason, Akira, Mikoto and Morgana had to step out of the way. "Their is too many!" Said Morgana before he was striked by one of the shadows.

"Morgana!" Said Mikoto before she and the others were knocked down by the Shadows.

The Shadows turn back into their knight forms. Kamoshida placed his foot on Morgana back. "You won't get away!" Said Morgana before Shadow Kamoshida pushed harder on his back.

Akira tried to get up but the golden elite placed his foot on Akira back and placed him there. "Get.... off." Said Akira.

"I bet you simply came here on a whim and ended up like this, ain't I right?" Asked Shadow Kamoshida as he asked this question to Ryuji who was sitting on his knees in despair at the moment.

"No...." Said Ryuji.

"We would have never come here, if you never came to our school to begin with!" Said Mason as he was pinned down by a Shadow foot.

"How dare you two raised your hands at me. Even though it was temporary, did you forget my kindness in supervising the tract team?" asked Shadow Kamoshida.

"That was no practice, it was physical abuse. You just didn't like our team!" Said Ryuji.

"It was nothing but an eye sore. The only one that needs to achieve results is me. Had your old couch not appose me when I got fired him, I would have settled with breaking one of his stars legs and almost breaking the other ones arm." Said Shadow Kamoshida.

"What?" asked Ryuji as this information shocked Ryuji to his core.

"Do you want me to break your other leg and really break the other ones arm? The school will call it self defense anyway." Shadow Kamoshida taunted them.

"Ryuji......." Morgana was able to say.

"Mason and Ryuji didn't ruin his team future. YOU DID YOU PSYCHO!" Said Mikoto before she felt pain on her back from the Shadow that was pressing down on her.

"Quiet! Once these four are finished, your next." Shadow Kamoshida laughed.

"Dang it. Am I going to lose again." Said Ryuji as he feels like he is going to cry.

"Ryuji!" Said Akira as yelled his voice to him. "I get it. You lost being on the tract team because of him and you must have a hard time runing because of Kamoshida. But let me tell you this. If you want what you have lost, you must take it back!"

This speech reaches Ryuji and got his motivation back. "Yeah your right. The track team is gone. Everything that was important to me was taken by him. It will never coming back." Said Ryuji.

"That might be true Ryuji but you must not lose to this creep!" Said Mason. Ryuji slowly gets back up.

"Yeah. That is what this guy is. A creep and a scum!" He said as he slowly walks over to Shadow Kamoshida.

"Hey.... what are you doing? Stop him!" Shadow Kamoshida got nervous.

"STOP LOOKING DOWN AT ME WITH THAT STUPID SMILE!" Said Ryuji as he points at him with massive anger.

"You made me wait quite a while." A voice was heard from Ryuji head. Ryuji open up his eyes wide and they turned golden colored. He begins to hold onto his head in pain and lay in the ground as he feels like his head is about to exploded. "You seek power, correct? Then let us form a pact. Since your name has been disgraced already, why not hoist the flag and wreak havoc...? The "other you" who exists within desires it thus..." Ryuji continues frail all over the floor. 

"I am thou, thou art I...There is no turning back...The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!" Ryuji was able to calm down and look forward as a black skull mask appeared on his face.

"What can you do? Cower in fear and watch!" said the elite Shadow as he raised his sword up to strike down at Akira.

Ryuji puts both hands on his mask and begins to pull it off. He finally gets it off and lets out a painful scream. A blue pillar of light forms over Ryuji. It was powerful enough to push back all the Shadow knights and free the others from the predicament.

The blue light disappeared as Ryuji clothes know changed to something to a pirate thief like outfit. A metal pipe weapon appeared in his hands.

His Persona is behind him. It was a skeleton that has pirate clothes on. His right hand is a cannon. He is standing on a pirate ship that has a paint markings on the front that look like a smile with sharp teeth. Captain Kidd!

Ryuji took some deep breaths before rising his head up with a smirk. "Right on. Wassup Persona? This rocks! Now I got this power, its time for some payback!" Said Ryuji as the others slowly begins to stand back up. 

"Yo, I am ready..... Bring it!" As Ryuji taunts the Shadows as the other Persona Users stood right next to him.

"Don't mock me you brat!" Said the elite Shadow before it turns into a shadow that has red armor on and is riding on a purple horse.

"Blast him away.... Captain Kidd!" Said Ryuji as he points at the Shadow his Persona with a confidant smirk.

Ryuji and the others have traveled into the deeps of the dungeon to find the captives there prison there. They discovered the truth of this world. Mikoto and Akira and Morgana learned that Mason and Ryuji has a bit of history with Kamoshida. They discovered that Kamoshida is possibly physical abusing them in the real world. Ryuji has formed a contract with his true self and has awaken to his Persona. 

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

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