I do not own the Persona series or RWBY or anything else. Everything belongs to their respected owners.
"Izanagi!"
"Magatsu-Izanagi!"
"Ariadne!"
Both Yu Narukami, Labrys, and Adachi Tohru yelled into the sky towards the hideous being Hi-no-Kagutsuchi that enveloped the sky. Said personas materialized into existence and readied themselves. Both Izanagi users could feel their power being squeezed dry as they put all they could into one final combined attack. Though Labrys could not combine her power with theirs, she still also put all of her remaining power to aid them for the killing blow. The torrent of power that the three created pierced Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, and its body started to shatter.
"Time for a monster like you to head on home!" Adachi yelled with a manic grin on his face.
"You can't hear the voices of everybody who's supportin' us. You never had the chance!" Labrys added.
"Hi-no-Kagutsuchi… It's over!" Yu finished off.
The monster in the sky roared in pain as he started to crumble. "Impossible… How could I fall… to this trickery… of 'bonds?! No matter, if I must die here, I'm taking you with me!" With that said, the portal in the sky immediately started to suck in everything it could. Winds blasted into the empty hole as the three persona users tried to maintain their ground. Their efforts proved futile as they started to be dragged on the floor.
Adachi lost his footing and began to fly through the air and be consumed by the pitch black void. "Adachi!" Yu called out as he grabbed the escapee's arm to hold him down. Yu was forced to jump into the air however and started to be sucked in as well. Lucky for them, Labrys grabbed onto Yu and used her battle axe to try and fly them away from the force.
"Look at you, risking your own life in order to save another." Adachi then sighed. "Always trying to play the hero. Just let go and live your lucky life as a kid already."
"No way am I letting you go!" Yu yelled.
"I can't get away, the force is too strong!" Labrys cried out as the suction became stronger and stronger.
A piece of debris from the winds then slammed into the anti-shadow weapon, forcing all of them to fly through the portal unwillingly.
PRWBYU
"Ah… Welcome to the Velvet Room." A female voice greeted.
Yu knew that voice. He then started to look around and saw and endlessly blue space that he came to know well. It was the Velvet Room, a place where the ceiling, floor, and even the walls are a deep azure. It existed 'between mind and matter,' and not far away from him sat two figures.
"Did I startle you?" The female who greeted him asked. Yu recognized the woman who was currently speaking to him. Margaret. The woman who had watched and assisted him throughout his journey during the time of the murders that occurred when he temporarily lived in Inaba.
"No, but…" Yu trailed off. He was sure that he, Labrys, and Adachi all had been sucked into the portal that Hi-no- Kagutsuchi had come from. Was this his last visit before he passes on? Or was this a dream…?
"I have business with you today, so I've summoned you." Margaret explained, as if she had read Yu's thoughts. "Marie?"
Another figure then stepped forth when Margaret, the resident of this room, called to her. Another who Yu recognized, Marie… Or rather, the minor goddess who protected the town of Inaba.
"You did it. You beat that monster." Marie said with a small smile.
"What happened to the town? Is everybody safe?" Yu asked calmly, silently hoping that what he and the others did was well worked for.
"Yes, everybody is safe. As soon as you defeated the enemy, the red fog lifted and everything went back to normal… well except that you, Labrys, and that criminal aren't there anymore." Maire informed him with a sad look on her face.
Yu then froze at what he had heard. His mind became a blur with all the thoughts of people's reactions to their disappearances. His thoughts came to every person that he knew, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Teddie, Naoto, Mitsuru, Aigis, Akihiko, Uncle Dojima, and… Nanako.
Yu began to shake just at the thoughts of how she would react to his absence forever. His thoughts were then broken by Margaret's voice.
"I am sorry for your loss. But it can be fixed." Margaret answered. Yu eyes widened in surprise at what he had heard. "Though one door closes, another shall open. The void you and your friends had been sucked into did not result in your deaths. Instead, it has brought you to an entire new universe."
Yu was at a loss for words as he processed what he had heard. "Is there any way for me and the others to get back though?"
Margaret showed no indication of answering his question. "Do not worry, for a new journey is ahead. Once that journey has been completed, you will be given the chance to come back."
The male teen just continued to look at the two females back and forth. "What will happen to me and the others? What will happen to my friends and family while we're gone?"
The female who had resided in the Velvet Room simply raised a hand to stops Yu's questioning. "What will happen to you is all up to your well being. As for your friends and family, it all depends if you make it back alive or not. Until next time."
Yu's vision then started to fade until it turned black.
PRWBYU
Yu opened his eyes his vision was filled with trees and grass. Slowly climbing to his feet, his gazed around at his surroundings. Though his eyes could see nothing but trees and rock, with enough focus he managed to see a road. Hearing a small groan, he looked to the ground. There before him laid Labrys and Adachi.
The teen bent down and shook the two of them awake. Labry immediately woke up while Adachi murmured "Just five more minutes. Interrogation can wait you know." With his eyes still closed.
Yu shook the persona user once more. Adachi then yawned loudly and scratched his head. "Good morning officer, what's for breakfast?" The messy haired male then looked around. "Oh wait; I'm not in prison anymore am I?"
Both Yu and Labrys couldn't answer his question due to them just looking at him with big eyes. "What? Is there something on my face?" Adachi asked. He then saw a pond nearby and walked over to check his reflection. His own eyes shot up at the sight before him.
In the reflection, stood a teen with messy hair. To put it bluntly, it looked like the ex-cop at the age of seventeen. Adachi started to freak out at his new appearance, and then an annoyed voice cut him off. "Hey, shut up! I'm trying to get some rest here you know!"
The three of them immediately recognized the voice. Turning to where it came from they were greeted by a familiar sight. There stood a boy with red hair and an X-scar on his face. "What?! You all look like you seen someone come back from the dead!"
There on a rock, stood Sho with a cocky smirk. Yu and Labrys both had an expression of surprise on their faces while Adachi had his mouth wide open and eyes bulging. "Sho!" They all exclaimed.
"I thought I told you all to quit your yapping." He said.
Labrys then chuckled. "We couldn't help it. Not when we knew you were safe."
The smirk then dropped into a serious expression. "Hey, did you guys kill that thing?"
"Huh?" Labrys asked with confusion on her face.
"Did! You! Destroy! Hi-no- Kagutsuchi?! Can't any of you understand words?" Sho said with an annoyed tone.
"Yes we did." Yu answered.
"That ugly guy was pretty tough though I'll admit it." Adachi said, still marveling at his new appearance.
A small pause grew between the four of them until Sho broke it. "You're all strong. Well, I don't know about the stupid traitor over there though."
"Love you too." Adachi said.
Yu and Labrys then started to notice something. Sho seemed different. His voice and his expression… Maybe it was just their imaginations. "What about Minazuki though? Did he make it?" Yu asked, knowing how much Sho put his trust into the other person in him.
Sho just broke out into a grin. "Oh yea, he's definitely around. Makes you wonder when he's going to 'sho' up. Hahaha. Just kidding." He then laughed at his own joke. The other three couldn't help but smile at the new teen that stood in front of them. "But seriously where the hell are we?"
Everyone looked at each other as if they knew that they had the answer. Yu then sighed and started to explain what happened and where they were.
PRWBYU
After the explanation of what had happened, the four of them agreed to help each other until this adventure was over. Much to Sho's and Adachi's reluctance. The four of them started to head down the road that Yu saw. After a long walk, the persona users all found themselves in civilization. To their eyes, they were amazed of how the world looked a bit more futuristic. Labrys thought that she would stand out so she placed an illusion up to make her look human just like how she did in the TV world. All the persona users took time to admire their surroundings when Yu stopped them in front of a library.
"If we're going to be in this new world, we should find a way to get some information about this place." Yu suggested. The others nodded and walked into the labyrinth of books. The group split up and assigned each other a certain category to research. Yu was to research the world they were in. Sho was assigned to take a look at the humanity and people who resided. Labrys volunteered to look at the technology. Finally, Adachi was told to look at anything that may be useful to know that if it didn't relate to any one of their topics.
After a long intriguing search for what they needed to know, they all grabbed the books that they found most useful to their area that they were assigned. Three of the persona users met up at a table, the red-head teen missing. As the others began to get a bit worried, the teen showed up with a calm face. "Apologies for being late. He found trying to do research of the people really boring, to the point that he was almost on the verge of yelling. Thus, I had to take up the position for him not to be kicked out. I hope you do not all mind and understand."
Yu just gave a small smile in amusement at what Minazuki informed them. The second personality took his respected seat and the four of them began to share the knowledge they had gained. Yu started first.
"We are in a world call Remnant. Basically from our perspective, it is a high fantasy, magitech world. The world is made up of four main kingdoms, Vacuo, Atlas, Mistral, and, the kingdom we are in; Vale. Similar to our world, they have a government system with similar close to exact laws. A certain thing we may want to take note of is that they use a different currency called Lien. Though this world is considered peaceful, it is also said to be not a particularly welcoming world to Humans. Why it is not welcoming is because of creatures called Grimm. Grimm can be described as 'creatures of destruction' and lack a soul. They are drawn to feelings of negativity such as envy, sadness, loneliness, and hatred." Though Yu didn't explain much, the others knew that he had more information, but that would stretch out into their own areas of research.
The persona users all looked at Adachi when they heard Grimm being attracted to negative feelings. The former detective could only sweat drop and whine internally at his predicament. The grey haired male then passed the baton to the Minazuki.
"In this world, there are two races; Human and Faunus. The Humans here are the very similar to our own. Faunus are similar to the Humans except for the fact that they share certain traits with animals. Some types of Faunus are more common than others, with some being extremely rare. In addition, Faunus also share some more advanced traits than Humans, depending on what animal they relate to." Minazuki reported to his new comrades. Mentally, he was glad that Sho had accepted these people around him. He hoped that Sho would eventually admit that he sees these persona users as close friends.
Hearing the pause, Labrys decided to inform the others of what she discovered. "The source of energy 'ere is somthin' known as Dust. Dust is known as a naturally occurrin' energy propellant triggered by somethin' called Aura. It exists in four basic variations that can be combined both artificially and naturally to form new an' stronger types, each with their own unique properties. Different colored dust correspond to their different natures or effects. It is also can serve as a power source for all facets of tech in this world."
Adachi then decided to take the ball. "Congrats of your research, but lucky for me, you guys left some interesting things out. Faunus had at least one major conflict with Humans in apparent recent history. It was called the Faunus Rights Revolution, an attempt by Faunus to gain rights through violence. Though they partially achieved their goal and have some rights, these poor guys still are treated like animals or second-class citizens by some Humans. This now led to a group called the White Fang to use very violent measures to gain equality. No matter where we go, the world is still going to be full of shit it seems. To answer Labrys wonder about Aura, it's surpassingly a manifestation of one's soul and can be used for a wide range of abilities. It's kind of like the persona I guess, but with this Aura, certain people have different powers which they call Semblances. It also serves as a shield, blocking all blows that could result in serious injury or fatalities; though it does not provide 100% protection. As for these grimm, they are basically exterminated by people known as Hunters and Huntresses. What these Hunter are, the name implies everything; they kill Grimm before they can kill the Humans and Faunus. "
The four of them then all took the time they needed to let all of the information sink in. This new world, a bit more futuristic than where they live in. What they would do next however was completely unknown to each and every one of them, for fate would have something interesting planned out for them.
One of them then got off their seat and told the others that they were going to go out for a small walk. They exited through the doors and entered a cool night air. They now realized that they had been in the library all day. The person then started to wander the empty streets of the town, and thought about their old world. How they would get back was still a mystery.
The persona user then heard a noise and turned their head to the source. In their vision stood a young, female teen dressed in red. She also had a man dressed in black on the street groaning in pain. The young female then brought out a weapon that the bystander didn't recognize. To their surprise, the tool then transformed into a scythe which the girl twirled around before embedding it into the ground. The persona user then looked up and saw more men in black looking out of a shop window that was broken with a man dressed in white with a bowler hat. "Well… Get her." The man with the hat said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
The persona user then was amused at the display the girl in front of their person performed. Not only did the girl show excellent combat skills, she was also single handedly beating every single goon that was coming at her. The red-hooded girl however didn't notice a thug behind her readying to strike a harsh blow. The persona user decided to make them self known to the group.
"Persona."
Few thing here that people may be concerned about.
I will not be doing the social links with Yu, meaning that he won't have multiple personas. I know many of you like how the main character has a lot of power, but he already has so much power with Izanagi alone. Plus, I will admit the only persona games I've played are P4a and P4AU. My friend introduced me to the series and I just loved it. Memorable character, amazing story, awesome game play, great graphics, everything about it. But still, Yu will only have Izanagi due to me basing this on P4AU.
Yes, I let Minazuki stick around and have Sho finally accept the others as friends. Sho was just a character that caught my eyes in the game. I don't know why, he just did. Having the two personalities still together if the story continues would just be amusing to me. Minazuki will still have Tsukiyomi while Sho is persona-less.
Why Labrys was up with Yu and Adachi when they finished off Hi-no-Kagutsuchi? It's a fanfic, anything is bound to happen. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to nail her accent down, but I'll do my best.
Now that what I can think of from the top of my head is over, feel free to review. No flames please.
Who do you want to help Ruby in the next chapter?
