Persona: Mask of Innocence

"The Dark Hour...." Aigis said. "The hidden hour at midnight. Tartarus, a building similar to this one, appeared at this hour."

 

"I take it shadows are going to spill forth from here if we don't do something about this."

 

Joshua looked at her and asked "What do we do?"

 

"We fight." Aigis said, but blushed when Arisa asked, "Who's your boyfriend?"

"His name is Josh!" she said. "And since he's not affected by the Dark Hour, he must be a persona user!"

"Lets find out!" Arisa pointed her Evoker at his head and shot.

 

"What did you do that for!?" he said. Suddenly a persona came out of him. "Who dares awaken Sota?" his persona said.

 

"Arisa Anila, the wild card." Arisa said, shooting herself and Orpheus, Neketoma, and Micheal appeared.

 

"Never called your persona out before, new blood?" Hattori said as he glanced at Josh.

 

"I don't remember." he said.

"I see." Sota said to Arisa. "And why, might I ask?"

 

"To see Josh is a persona user." she said. "Looks like he is. Besides, we'll gonna get a lot of help with what's going on."

"Um, Nee-chan, has any of your persona told you of a person named Ryoji?" Suki asked.

 

"Who the heck is Ryoji?"

"You got me. Think he might be related to Project Nyx?"

 

"And why should I help you?" Sota asked.

 

"Because you don't have much of a choice. It'll give you a chance to stretch your legs."

 

Ryoji..... He was Death, the Shadow of the thirteen arcana, and he was Nyx. Why do you ask, Lady Suki?

Ovan and I met him, he seemed like a nice person.

 

"I wasn't asking you." he said.

 

"Has your persona always been such a jerk, dude?"

 

"Please, please us, Seto." Arisa asked. "Only persona users and persona can fight shadows and you're a persona, not to mention Josh is your persona user."

 

Shinji stared at Sota calmly. "Unless you want to let your host die and you go along with him, I suggest you co-operate with us." His persona soon emerged within the depths of his soul as they shown themselves.

"Shinji Arlyn, Wild card." he said to him.

 

"I don't know." Josh said.

"I am not a jerk, I merely stated I was not talking to you, but to Arisa. I did not intend to offend anyone." he said.

"Alright." Sota said. "I shall help, since I have a feeling Josh would want to help out Aigis.'

 

"He's uptight too. I'm gonna have fun with this."

"You most certainly will not, Nakim. Now shut up."

"You're no fun, Hattori."

"Oh, I'm Hattori Nakamura, Persona-hybrid, by the way."

 

"Nee-chan, do you and Shinji-kun know anything about Ryoji?" Suki asked. Arisa shook her head. "No, but Orpheus seems to know something."
