KS: Hello again, people. It is I, KnightSpark. For those of you who didn't know, I have been looking up something interesting lately. And that something was called: Persona 5: Imagining Project. Just so you know, I was aware that the whole thing was fanmade by some YouTuber named AtlusxP5. Although, it seems that they have fallen off the face of the earth, leaving this thing to collect dust. Now, despite the fact of how bogus this thing is, it really caught my interest. So, I decide to make a fanfic out of it. However, I am open to any suggestions on how I can improve the story, and before you asking, I am not taking any OC requests. I already got the characters planned out. Anyway, enjoy the story.

Train en route to Naniwa City

April 12 – 2:01 PM

Attention passengers. We will be arriving shortly at Naniwa City Station. Repeat: we will be arriving at Naniwa City Station.

The sound of the intercom woke up a young man with a medium build who was sleeping on the train. He had short, black and hair dark eyes. Another notable fact about him is that he wore black from head to top. Black unbuttoned shirt, black pants and black shoes. It wouldn't a surprise if someone thought he was a goth.

"So, Naniwa City, huh? Sound like a place I can get used to," the man said to himself. He stood up and took his travel bag out of the train compartment. Then, he opened it to see if he had everything he needed on his trip. Luckily, it was all there: his laptop, phone, toothbrush, books, earphones and a picture of his family, which mostly comprised of his mother, father, twin sister and himself. His mother had light skin and dark eyes, but her hair was white longer and part of it covered her left eye. He got his current looks from his father, who also had the same hair style and colour. Finally, his sister resembled her mother with her hair style.

"I wonder how they are all doing now that I'm moving to Naniwa," he thought aloud. His thoughts were interrupted when his phone began to ring. He picked the device up and tapped the 'answer' button.

"Hello?"

"Yeah, is this Kai Kyozo I'm speaking to?" the caller asked. Kai smirked a little.

"If it wasn't, would I even bother answering?" He heard the man roar with laughter.

"You're really funny, aren't you? I guess you got that from your old man."

"I've been told. But more importantly, who am I speaking to?"

"Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself," the man responded. "My name is Ryuzaki Ishimoto, a professor at Kirimaru University. If you didn't know before, I was a childhood friend of your father, and he enrolled you at Kirimaru as favour to me."

"Why, did he owe you money or something?" Kai asked.

"No, no... it's go far beyond money."

"What do you mean?"

"About two months ago, your father got into some trouble with the Public Security Intelligence Agency and they have been keeping a close on him and the rest of your family since then," Ishimoto answered. Kai began show great concern.

"Wait a minute, what kind of trouble did my father get into?"

"That I can't tell you. For all we know, the PSIA may be listening in on our conversation. I don't want your train ride to be interrupted by some black helicopters chasing you down like an escaped convict."

"That's true... I guess."

"Anyway, I have to go now. I'll be at the station to pick you up, okay?"

"Okay."

"Great. See you soon."

The call disconnected after that, but something still plagued Kai's mind. What trouble did his father get into, and why won't Ishimoto say anything about it?

"Well, guess I'll find out eventually."

Naniwa City Station

April 12 - 3:21 PM

Kai stood in front of the station, looking for the professor. He said that he would pick him up by the time he got there, but he wasn't anywhere in sight. Probably due to the large amount of people lingering around, in the same situation as he was.

"Hey, Kai! Over here!" a voice called out him. Kai turned to his left to see a middle-aged man waving to him. He had light brown hair and green eyes. He wore a black suit with a red tie and had brown dress shoes. Kai assumed that he was the professor he talked to on the phone.

"You're Ishimoto, right?" he asked the man as he walked up to him. He grinned widely in response.

"If I wasn't, I wouldn't be waving at your, now would I?" he chuckled. Kai chuckled as well, knowing that he used his own joke against him.

"Yeah, good one. So where is this university at, anyway?" he asked the professor.

"It's a few blocks from here, so we'll be there shortly," Ishimoto answered. "Although, seeing how you just got here, I'll need to fill in some papers so you can be an official student. But if you'd like, I could give you a tour of the place so you can be familiar with your new surroundings."

"Sure, I can live with that," Kai said. He looked behind the professor to see a black sports car. How could a university professor afford sports car?

"Hey, is that your car over there?" he asked pointing to the vehicle.

"No, I'm just borrowing it from a friend. Did you really think I could afford such a thing on my damn salary? I couldn't afford a scooter if I wanted to."

"Well, I'd say you blew all your savings on liquor and women. And I'm thinking that it's 51% of the latter," Kai inquired. Ishimoto laughed it off.

"That's a good one, thinking I spend all my money on that sort of thing." Kai thought he was hallucinating, but he could've sworn he saw the professor sink down in shame after he walked towards the car.

"So, what is Kirimaru like, anyway?" he asked as he got into the car.

"Oh, it's great. We have a great basketball team, a lot of extracurricular activities and a wide variety of different students with unique qualities," Ishimoto explained while starting it up.

"What kind of 'unique qualities'?" Kai asked, raising a brow.

"...You'll know it when you see them," Ishimoto answered. The two drove off, heading to what was sure to be the start of a new adventure... for Kai that is.

KS: Now before I get to concluding this chapter, I just wanted to let you all know something. While I was looking up on Persona 5, I noticed a video that had the same name of what I typed (even though it was fanmade). The video was called 'Motley Crew of Fools', and boy did it amaze me. Also, the video showed some silhouettes of what would've been the initial party. Also, I made some minor changes to them. And here they are:

Kai Kyozo (Leader) - Arcana: The Fool, Persona: ?, Weapon: One-Handed Sword

Kazuya Gavin - Arcana: The Magician, Persona: Heyoka, Weapon: Shurikens

Asuka Kurihara - Arcana: The Empress, Persona: Eve, Weapon: Polearm

Shingo Yamato - Arcana: The Chariot, Persona: Wukong, Weapon: Nunchucks

Hibana Osawa - Arcana: The Strength, Persona: Oya, Weapon: Guitar

Now, I'm sure you've seen the different was a Persona was summoned. P3 had this gun-like object called an Evoker, where you put it your head and pull the trigger (although God know why they came up with that method) and out comes the Persona. P4 basically lets you summon a Tarot card and destroy it to summon a Persona. But how do Personas get summoned here? Well... you'll have to find out in the next chapter, so stay tuned.
