+KIMIKO+

Kimiko was just getting back from spending the day at her friend's house. Normally, she would walk the streets at night, but now that she was a persona user, she felt invincible. And the heavens must have been smiling on her, because just as she turned the corner, she saw Shinji ahead of her. So with her most flirtatious smile, she increased her speed until she caught up with her sempai. " Hello Shinji~," she giggled, not noticing that the world around her was slowly getting darker and more evil. Right now, Shinji was all she saw.

" I'm heading back to the dorm. Are you? If so, we should walk together."

Out of all the guys at the house, Shinji was the most attractive. Plus, he was rich and had connections in the right places. With a man like that, what could go wrong?

+SUNAKO+

"Oh, Lance then."she corrected, making a mental note to remember his nickname. "I'm Sunako." Suddenly, the light that hurt Lance's eyes earlier went out. The entire dorm existed in darkness, and Sunako knew that it was now the Dark Hour. All electricity stop, with the exception of Pikachu, and normal people turned into coffins. "Lance?"she called, wondering if he still retained his form.

"Pika!"yelled out the robot, electric sparks coming out of his cheeks. The glow lit up almost the entire first floor, giving everyone a clear look of their surroundings. Sunako could see Lance in the illuminated room, but she had to close her eyes in order to adjust to the light. "Oh, Lance, I'm sorry about this."she apologized, rubbing her eyes. She didn't notice Momo, luckily for him.

Sunako wanted to introduce Pikachu to her new dormmate, but she had a feeling it would be wise to wait for Shinji to grant her permission to show a stranger his precious robot Pikachu. "The power will return in a bit...the longest is an hour."explained Sunako, confirming that Lance did indeed possess the 'Potential.'

"I'll just show you to your room, follow me please."

+KENJI+

Kenji stirred a bit in his bed, waking up to some noise downstairs made by Pikachu and a knock on the door. In reality, there wasn't really any ridiculously loud sounds, but the young man had excellent hearing. Kenji could easily hear the tiptoeing coming up the stairs. Wait...tiptoeing? The green eyed boy looked over at his twin; he was fast asleep. But the atmosphere felt heavy...that could only mean...

"The Dark Hour!"he gasped, a chill crawling down his spine. Kenji immediately grabbed his pillow and held it like a shield. He cautiously motioned towards the door and paused once he grabbed the doornob. "One..."he whispered, the steps becoming louder. "Two..."he said, twisting the knob.

"THREE!"he yelled, shoving the door open and accidently hitting whatever was walking up the stairs. "SHADOOOOW!"he cried, hitting Momo with his fluffy pillow.

"Shadow! Shadow, die!"he screamed, continuously whacking the 'Shadow' that walked up the stairs. You see, Kenji did not have his own weapon yet. That's why Shinji made a trip to a weapon specialist: to retrieve a weapon for Kenji and Fleance, in case he had the potential.

"Kenji?"

The boy immediately stop blindly attacking when a soft, gentle voice familiar to his ears called out to him. "S-Su-Sunako?"he stuttered, somewhat out of breath.

+SHINJI+

Kimiko appeared out of nowhere. For a moment Shinji wondered if a powerful shadow took on the guise of Kimiko to deceive him, but her giggling convinced him otherwise. "What the hell are you doing out here? It's the Dark Hour."he asked in a calm manner. He sighed and shook his head. "Whatever. Yeah, let's go."The new weapons strapped to his back, Shinji began to head towards the dorm. "Keep up."he demanded.
