A/N: I've just found out about this TMSFE section and thought I brainstorm a new epic story idea! Yes as the name and summary suggest this is, for the most part, a mash up between two great Modern RPGs from Atlus Tokyo Mirage Session and Persona 5, but with an interesting twist later down the line.
So what do you think? any question and/or suggestions will be much appreciated!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything excepted for potential OC's.
Ayaha Oribe's Apartment
Tokyo, 10:38 PM Night Time
The sound of the creaking door could be heard throughout the silent apartment. Fortuna Entertainment Sectary Ayaha Oribe, a formal Idol and elder sister of Tusbasa Oribe stepped through the door. Ayaha had gotten off from work and bought some goods from the store. She sighed tiredly as she went towards the kitchen, turned on the lights, dropped her bags and headed back to the living room (that was pretty much a weekly routine after work).
She turned on the T.V. The news announced a new Music Festival dubbed #TIKIFES21. It's been five years since Uta-loid TIKI had been a huge hit in the Entertainment & Internet world.
#TIKIFES21 celebrates the fifth birthday of Uta-loid TIKI; she is the key visual character of a vocal software called "Singaloid TiKi" that is currently a huge hit among Internet users. It's currently an ongoing trend with the youngsters to upload new songs by Tiki on the Internet. In about three days from now, Tiki's Festival event will take place at the Shiba-Koen district of Minato, Tokyo.
Ayaha was pleased to know that Daiba TV's CEO Tsurumi Mahiro is supporting the event, along with familiar and new faces from the industry. With no Mirage attacks (now that the Shadow Dragon is destroyed thanks to the Mirage Masters about a week ago) things in the entertainment world has gone a lot smoother.
Mr. Mahiro and other industry professionals had been getting along with Fortuna Entertainment. At first, Mr. Mahiro came under mild suspicion by the members of Fortuna Entertainment because of the various Mirage incidents, but that was a week ago. Now, her last meeting with her boss Maiko-san has been a blast however she and her boss still cannot tell Mahiro anything about what's really been happening in past incidents.
If only Mahiro knew about the Mirages... hmm he'll probably think me and Maiko-san are crazy or something along those lines, she thought and smiled, while changing the channel.
Despite her own ordeal, her fascination about the Mirages and Tiki had grown. In her own free time, she had done extensive research about the Mirages Mysterious origins probably dating back to mid-evil times. Kiria seems to know the base of the old lore but there are so much they haven't learn about them, It is unfortunate that the pathways to the Idolaspher in Tokyo have been closed off. She secretly wanted to go off the Idolaspher to learn more but there is one thing stopping her, the nightmares.
The navy-haired women frowned; she didn't know how or why but she recalled the time after she was free from Aversa's control she heard a voice, her own voice, telling her to go back to Illusionary 106 to uncover her true power. Then in her dreams she saw a terrible flying monster and it was bigger than anything she saw in her life, she couldn't tell but it looked like a long-horned Dragon with six massive feathered wingspans and it stared at her in the dream with its six blood red eyes. The nightmares of this monster have become more and more real since the Mirage incidents.
Ayaha Oribe shivered she had assumed that this monster in her dream was the Shadow Dragon but she asked Tsubasa on what it looked like when she and her friends fought it; it wasn't the same horrible monster they fought in the Idolaspher. Her kid sister asks her why she wanted to know but Ayaha refused to tell her nor anyone, at least not yet.
"If it's not the Shadow Dragon then what was that in my dream?" Ayaha wondered aloud.
It is something that is a part of you. If you wish to obtain it?
"Wha-" the former Idol jumped off her couch and dropped her TV remote.
Go to Tokyo Tower, your hidden power awaits there. Become the kind of Goddess you always dreamed of.
Ayaha heard her cell phone ring, snapping her back to reality, she rushed to picked up the phone from the living room table.
"Hello?"
"...Heeey, it's me, Maiko! ...It wouldn't be much trouble if you come over with Tiki's remedy potion? I feel un... woozy again..."
Ayaha Oribe sighed "Maiko-san you should really tone down on the drinking, lucky I do have a spare."
"Thank you so much Aya, you're a life saver!"
"It is my pleasure Maiko-san, I'll be right there." she smiled and hang up the phone.
Maiko's Condo, Tokyo.
11:08 PM
"W00t! I feel great! Thank you again Aya, I knew you're the right person for the job!" The Fortuna Entertainment CEO Maiko said she wore casual clothing.
"Um yeah," Sectary Ayaha sweat dropped "So other than your drinking woozy. Is there everything else you need Maiko-san?" Ayaha wasn't much of a drinker, she drinks but not a whole lot, and it is not something to set an example for Tusbasa and Kiria. She only drinks when she feels pressured or worried about something, which she kept her secret to herself and Maiko-san.
"Well, deer as a matter of fact I do! I got a mouton of paperwork I need you to full!" Maiko said cheerfully.
Ayaha's eyes were wide open "P-paper work? More paperwork?"
"Most of it has something to do with Tiki's upcoming big birthday bash at Tokyo Tower, they're going to be a lot of special guests, performances, filmmakers, businessmen, music composers, including Tiki=waifu and great food!" Maiko added all those things using her fingers.
Ayaha blinked, baffled, but shook it off "I see... do you want them to be full out here? If so I don't mind."
Maiko was surprised by this "Are you sure? I assumed that you wanted to go home and do the paperwork."
Maiko's Sectary nodded and smiled "Yes I'm sure."
"Hmmm... Okay if you say so. Try not to over work you self like last time, kay?"
"Will do, but when do I ever... never mind." Ayaha rolled her eyes.
Maiko giggled "Well then since you're proudly going to be here all night you can take my office desk where I place my paperwork is at anyway. I'll make you some coffee."
"It is much appreciated Maiko-san." Ayaha bowed.
Ayaha Oribe written and filled out all of the forms. She checked her wristwatch. It's 2:48 am. She yawned.
The Fortuna Sectary got up from her seat, tired, and rubbed her eyes. She then felt someone's presence in the room. She slowly turned her head to see-
She gasped in horror she turned her whole body around to see a doppelganger of her.
The doppelganger stared at her with an almost stoic expression, with those glowing red eyes.
What is this!? Ayaha then realized she was not in Maiko-san's living room anymore but in a place of red and black colored fog. Many Glowing yellow lights (or eyes) appeared behind Ayaha's doppelganger.
She can't really tell if this is all a dream, but Ayaha was so scared she couldn't even talk. Ayaha then felt something burning on her right forehand, she screamed at the pain and clutched her right forehand.
The doppelganger merely watched as she began to smirk at her other self.
When the burning pain stopped Ayaha was on her knees with fresh tears on her face. She looked at her right forehand to see a strange lavender marking with three eyes.
"The Mark of Grima." The doppelganger finally spoke.
"What?" the former Idol stand back up.
Doppelganger Ayaha smirked, "You have been chosen by fate to bear the symbol of one of the Gods, It is the propose Aversa; to make you stronger."
"Aversa?" Ayaha whispered her face turned to a scowl "Is she the reason why I'm having these- No it can't be my sister already got rid of her!"
"True, however before Aversa departed she had cast one last Hex on to you," the Doppelganger slightly tilted her head and said. "It is when you desired to separate yourself from the dark flyer, with the aide of Itsuki and Chrom, of course." She sneered.
Ayaha was shocked at the revelation she looked at the Mark on her right forehand, then back to her double "This is all a curse?"
The double rolled her eyes "I wouldn't call it a curse if anything you've been cursed for the past five years. Anyway as I was saying before; you have been chosen by fate to bear the powers of the Dragon God. Thanks to Lady Aversa you are one step closer to achieving the power of Creation and the power of annihilation. But first, you must go to Tokyo Tower in order to gain your power, during the festival of TIKI."
"Why do I need power?"
"It is up to you."
"...!?"
"But know this Tokyo Conception draws near during the night of the festival, the portal of the Idolaspher will open in Tokyo Tower. You always said with the power of the world in your fingertips you will help others and with the knowledge, you gain from the Mirages and Aversa, you can and will!"
"Who... are you?"
The Doppelganger smiled "I am you and you are me. We are the light of this world. We are the fell Dragon Grima."
"...!"
Secretary Ayaha woke up from the office desk with cold sweat on her face. She looked down at the paperwork. Only half was done. She looked to her left to see the morning sunlight shining through the windows.
"It's just a dream." She wiped the sweat from her forehead using her sleeve. Just a dream.
"Wow, I can't believe you finish most of that paperwork!" Maiko walked in the living room all dressed up for work. "So did you get some good sleep?"
Ayaha threw her boss a smile. "Yes. I've just dozed off." She stood up from her chair and bowed.
"Well, you don't have to worry about finishing the rest since it's another day of…" CEO trailed off. "Hey is that a tattoo on your forehand?"
Ayaha was puzzled she looked at her right forehand her face color drain in shock. "You got to be kidding me!" Her hand shook like mad.
"Aya are you okay?"
Ayaha snapped out of her thoughts. "Y-yes I'm fine."
"Hmm… never notice you got a tattoo like that before. You must have got it last night. Where you did you go to get it from?" Maiko asked.
"Its form a local," she quickly answered.
"A local?" This is weird even for Aya, Maiko thought.
"Yeah! Is it possible I can still come to work today? I promise I'll cover the tattoo, without anyone finding out," Ayaha pleaded.
"Sure. You can work late just make sure you dress up nice. And as for that tattoo," Maiko looked around her living room and spotted a white glittered glove on her dining table. "Oh!" she picked up the glove and handed to Aya. "You can use that to cover that up!"
"Thank you so much Maiko-san. I'm so sorry about the tattoo!" Ayaha bowed and put on the gloved to cover up the mark. Ayaha gathered her purse and head out the door. She turned to face her boss.
"Maiko-san, can I count on you to keep my whole tattoo thing to ourselves?"
The CEO looked at her secretary with concern. The drinking is one thing, but the tattoo is another thing altogether. Back in her day, a tattoo is considered a bad omen, but it usually symbolized the person's beliefs and desires, so a tattoo is natural. However, Aya's tattoo looked very strange for even her, though...
Maiko nodded in assuringly."Of course. Just remember to come to work today, 'kay?" She smiled.
Ayaha nodded back and smiled before continuing out the door.
After Maiko's secretary is gone, she pondered, "A lavender tattoo with six eyes on them... I never heard nor seen a design like that before. Hmm... I'll have to look that up that tattoo."
