Persona: Mask of Innocence

"I've got Strength as well."

 

Ovan got on and Josh stood by Aigis.

 

Arisa heard a new voice in her head. 'Thou has our blessing when thou chooset to create a persona of the Strenght Arcana.' She lifted into the sky with Suki and Seth.

 

Hattori flew beside Arisa.

 

Shinji heard about the Social Links, so far, he had Death, Sun, Aeon and Lovers and he didn't obtain any more Social Links yet as he felt something strange stir within him as he could hear a voice, but it wasn't the mysterious one, instead it was someone familar.

"I see you met Ryoji-san now." the voiced said and Shinji's eyes widened. "Minato-san!"

"Do you mind if I take over your body, I won't harm anyone, I just feel that everyone should see me as well as meeting my friends" he asked and SHinji nodded in reply as he could feel Minato's presence overtake his own and Shinji felt his soul go to the back of his mind and Shinji's form soon changed as his hair turned blue and his eyes turned grey and soon Minato was there, in the flesh, wearing Shinji's uniform.

"It's been a while, everyone." He said calmly as his hands fit into his pockets and his stance was that of Minato's

 

Josh looked at him, shocked. "You look just like me!" he said.

 

"Minato-kun?!" Fuuka almost fainted but Yukari caught her. Aigis slowly walked toward him and hugged him. Mitsuru smiled. "Hello, Minato."

 

Hattori looked confused.

"This day keeps getting weirder."

 

He saw Aigis hug him and got angry and jealous. Why the heck is she hugging him? he thought.

 

Minato smiled and hugged Aigis back.Hello Aigis, hello everyone."

Minato heard Josh and stared at him, they did look exactly alike and Minato spoke. "Peharps you are my reincarnation, that's the only conclusion I can come up with."

Minato laughed a bit when Fuuka nearly fainted. "Did I really surprise that much Fuuka-chan? he asked him, smiling at his old friends and SHinji alogn with his otehr Persona watched through Minato's eyes.

 

"Looks like it." Arisa landed with Seth and Suki. Fuuka recovered and smiled, Arisa smiled. "So, Minato, you take control of Shinji anytime now?"

 

"I'm not sure if Shinji would like that."

 

Minato nodded. "Only if Shinji allows it, I am merely borrowing his body to send myself here while still being the seal. He said to them and heard Hattori

"It entirely depends on Shinji, since Ryoji-san and Arisa share each other, I too am the same with Shinji, although, I cannot take physical form like Ryoji-san." He said to them, explaining how he could appear before them.

 

"Wow." Arisa looked toward Ryoji and sighed. "This is just getting more interesting....."

 

"I wonder who will pop up next."

 

Minato nodded. "It is interesting indeed, it's a new team of S.E.E.S with the old team, almost like a team up, and SHinji has some training to do within his soul.

SHinji heard Minato and his Persona lea dhim into teh very same training room, however Thantos stared at him. "We are goign to try and harness my father's power within you so you can use it to yoru advantage, and for this, you'll need an oppenent, so meet your other half, the darkness within your heart.

Shinji heard footstesps and before him was...himself but with yellow eyes along with a purple aura around him grinning. "So, you are here to aqcuire my power are you, heh, like that'll ever happen so let's get one thing straight! "

His dark half pointed at Shinji. "If you don't fight me seriously, you'll die at my hands, if you somehow manage to win, then my power shall be yours to use, let's see you beat me and here's a rule, You cnanot use your Persona to aid you in this fight!

Shinji's eyes widened as the two halfs summoend their respective gloves with Shinji's flames being orange and his dark half's purple.

OOC: Shinji's dark side with yellow eyes and the purple aura is from Persona 4 when the characters are in the TV world as these dark halves are in fact, their hidden selves and when they are defeated, they accept what that character is and the Persona emerges and they are able to use it.

 

OCC: I know!

"As does Arisa." Ryoji said.

Arisa entered her mind and leaned against a wall. She heard a footstep and saw a dark verison of herself. Her dark self had yellow eyes with a purple aura surrounding her.

"You are the host of the Death Shadow? You got to be kidding. Please..... You're not even worthy of being called a angel with your wings."

Her dark self smiled. "If by some mircale you beat me, you will have full control of the Death shadow and all persona under the Death arcana."

Arisa and her dark self both pulled out bows, Arisa noticed her dark self's bow had devil marks.

 

Hattori started experimenting with his power. He ended up creating a pocket dimension.

Didn't know I could do that...

That pocket dimension will be suitable for a training ground. We'll be able to go all out without risking damage to anything.

 

Minato nodded at Ryoji and looked at his friends. "So, what has everyone been doing since Graduation Day?" he asked them.

~ ~ ~

Both Shinjis stared at each other, waiting to see who strikes first and Dark SHinji laughed mamaniclly. "If you aren't going to attack first, then I'll come to you!" Dark Shinji smirked and thrust hismelf towards Shinji using the flame to propel himself forward as his fist was coated in purple flame and Shinji reacted, collidng his orange flame into his dark half's as a explosion took place.

Both Shinji jumped out and Shinji remained calm. "Good thing I focused all my flame into a single point to counter the attack" and Shinji heard his dark side laughing.

"Not bad, but you are weak, let's face it, your friends will turn on you in jealously for the power you hold inside you!"

"You are wrong, my friends will never do that!" Shinji said as the two halves's fists collided again as they block or try to attack the other. "Face it! Your so called 'friends' are only being your 'friends' because you are the wild card! They don't regconize you for other that role!

Shinji was distracted and he got punched in the stomach and was sent flying back into the wall as he coughed.

 

Arisa shot the first arrow, but her dark self dodged. "Alright, but admit it. You're only protecting Suki to hide your true self."

"Shut up!" Arisa shouted, as she shot a fire-enfluged arrow at her.
