The True Self - Persona

((Yo, mind editing me out of your statement, I kind of want to do my own thing... Also, after this post, new day.))

-Kaminari : Mirror World-
As his friends quickly dispatched each shadow one by one, different things rushed through Kamis mind. What was this strange place, and who created it? A sky filled with glowing crimson mirrors, and a bunch of strange sphere like creatures with tongues? However, that was for a later time as adrenaline filled every corner of his body, excluding himself from his own thoughts. He focused more on the threat and hand, and keeping each of his friends safe from harm, until finally... Just one remained.

"(Time to wrap things up here....)"

Kami poised himself at the ready, targeting the remaining Halberie. As it made its last stand, he rushed towards it, hoping to finish it off... However, something got in the way. Before he could end the little battle himself, someone else had already done the job by impaling the writhering sphere on a glorious looking orange sword. He flinched as he saw the blade popped in, and quickly withdrew as the shadow withered away into nothingness. He could only stare, the adrenline still pumping throughout his veins. Another figure present themselves, clapping constantly while approaching the group. He looked to be a handsome young man who bore a uniform of a prestigous private school near Warakuma, and had a seemingly regal aura surrounding him.

Kami didn't know what to do, but he felt it was best that he calmed himself and ask him questions so his own emotions wouldn't cloud his own judgement. As he breathed in and out, he dimissed his persona, and turned off his stun baton. He listened to the boy speak to them, and introduce himself to the group. However, while he was speaking to them, he could only wonder.

"(I wonder... Does this guy?... Maybe... Maybe not... Ugh, what do I do? I mean, he did sort of help us out with that remaining... Thing... Now that I think about it, do I keep this a secret, or do i report it to my father... No, who would believe such a whimsical and enthralling tale? Its insane... I guess we just have to handle it ourselves.)"

As Kami pondered to himself the boy offered to show the group a way out. He turned his head up, staring at the boy before anxiously deciding to folow him. There was a chance he knew a lot about this place, so he could help the group out of here. Whatever happened, Kami just nodded his head in agreement, and spoke to the guy.

"Alright Kazuki, we will follow you outa here... I mean, you must know this place a lot better than any one of us."

---

As he and his friends followed the regal boy, he talked about his friends and how they were busy with their duties... Duties? What did he mean by duties? He paid no mind to it at the moment as his head turned upwards to a larger than life mirror placed in front of them on a platform. The place looked like it could be a place where everyone could meet up and congregate around this area.

"(Interesting... Just interesting... I need to investigate this world a lot more... This could help me find out whats causing this cult stuff... Plus a place as dangerous as this must be contained, and or destroyed. I don't want anyone else getting involved in something dangerous as this... Especially her. Its bad enough Kato and Sachiko are involved, but if she was to get involved...)"

As he thought to himself, he almost didn't see that most of his friends were leaving through the mirror, and he quickly realized it as soon as the second to last person exited the world through the mirror. Kami quickly scrambled to catch up with them, and took his leave through the mirror himself.

"(Then again, what if its inevitable? What if she does step through into this strange and terrifying world... If so, I wish to be with her to help her and keep her safe... I promise... I won't abandon you this time.)"

-Kaminari : Abandoned Building-

As he made his way through the mirror, he came out into what looked like an abandoned building. The place looked run down, and diffrent parts of the building were deteriorating from the looks of it. He was surprised to find that this place was built like a lounge of sorts, as if it was some sort of hangout for a gang or team. As Kami looked around in wonder, he caught something out of the corner of his eye. In a corner, there where weapons stacked in the corner, along with a few guns there too. As his eyes gazed, and explored the place, his attention was soon returned to the very boy who brought them here.

Kaminari listened to the rest of the boys story, and felt a bit sympathetic for him. He helped his own friends out when they were at the mercy of the mirror world, and risked his own life to do so. How benevolent of him to rescue his friends. As he listened, all of his suspicions seemingly dissapated into thin air, and he almost trusted the boy... Almost.

"(So he wants us to join a team of sorts, huh? To protect others who were dragged into that world forcibly?.. I...)"

"Yes, I'll join you."

Kami answered it straight out as soon as he asked. He had is own reasons to do so. To defend his comrades from the deadly mirror world, and to investigate the mystery raveled in it. He didn't do it because of his own courage - he did it because he cares about the lives around him, and how important they are. Each of them have their own free will, and they shant be forcibly molded by the hands of the cult or the mirror world. He would do whatever it takes, even if it costed him his own life.

"As long as I'm around, I promise nothing will happen to you guys in that world. We will unravel the mysteries behind this perilous shadowy world... Right team?"

Kami felt renewed with vigor as he said that, and gave a small smile to each of the people inside of the warehouse. As he grinned, he took out his cellphone, and took a look at the time, and texts... And then all of the energy flowed out of him. His small grin suddenly turned into a small frown as he furrowed his eyebrows. He punched a something into the cellphone before putting it back into his pocket.

=Text=
To: Ayano
Sorry about that, something came up... Hey Ayano, do you mind meeting me at the park sometime this week? I need to talk to you about something."

"Well, I guess we should be going home... Well, g'night guys, see you tomorow!"

Kami slept soundly on that night, with no dreams of velvet rooms, nor any horrible, sorrowful dreams wormed his way into his head. He was at absolute peace.

The True Self - Persona

-Kaminari : Mirror World-
As the girl and Kato accepted their shadows, all that remained was the one disgruntled looking shadow. Kami puts a foot forward, before stopping himself from going any further, fearful of what was to come. As he steadly stays in place the reflection turns his head and begins walking toward Kami, with a contempt look on his face. The golden eyes pierce into Kami, keeping him frozen in place, seemingly unable to move even though every muscle is telling him to run... But...

"(I can't keep running forever... But, can I really hear what he has to say?)"

As he ponders over the thought, he glares downward, seemingly unwilling to accept the inevitable. The shadow kept steadily walking towards him, until he towered over him, enveloping him with his own hidden consciousness. Kami turns his head up and his eyes meet with those piercing golden eyes. As he stares him down, the shadow begins to pull something from behind it, but what? As it begins fiddling around, it begins speaking in a voice like Kamis, excepted its more warped and twisted then it should be.

"Heh, you don't even have the courage to face yourself, what a god damned coward... Then again you are me."

The shadow stares downward at Kami, seemingly depressed about something. Kami looks around, trying to look for the object of his malice, his sadness, his anger. Before long the shadow sighs, and whips out a pistol from behind it, brandishing it in front of Kami and the others. Kami could only glare at the pistol, worried that this thing might set it off on him, or worse - his friends. But what could he do about it?

"We are pathetic you know, always running away from the sight of danger. You say that we will help our friends, but in their time of need we do jack shit... We really do deserve her hatred, am I right? Of course I am, because I am you!" The voice screeches in anger at Kami, wailing in absolute pain. "We are fucking hypocrites you know, I mean, we didn't even listen to Sachikos problems when she feigned happiness and now your saying you'll listen to her? That's a ton of bullshit coming from the both of us, you know? You say you care and then you turn a blind eye, just like you did with Ayano, the girl your supposibly infatuated with?"

Kami could only stare, and mutter something quietly to the shadowy replicant. "Sh-shut up...."

"I'm so awful, how can I care for her when I'm like this... You know, I should run away and just die." The figure puts the gun up to his own head, his hand shivering. "I don't deserve to live, I should just end it all... I can't own up to my own actions... I'm afraid of losing my friends, yet I don't deserve them at all... I should just... Disappear." Kami could only stare stunned at him, falling onto his knees as the shadow began backing away.

"Shut up, y-you don't know what you're talking about..."

"Oh really, then why haven't you owned up to your parents, you know about possibly not being a detective. You know, how we don't feel like living up to our legacy? All of this liking detective stuff is a little facade. Why lie to yourself and run? Is it that hard to face the truth? You know, we really are pathetic.... We really should just die."

Kami turns his head upward, staring down the goldened eyed clone. "Shut up, that's not true, all of what you say is a lie! You, you are..."

"I mean its not like any of your friends would care... I still wonder why we didn't pull the trigger on that one day..."

---

"That's because I realised that a simple bullet wouldn't solve anything."

Kami pushes himself up, staring defiantly at the shadow self. He then begins walking over, and begins to pull the gun away from his head, and strangely enough the boy goes with it. He then takes the gun, and pistol whips the shadow self before discarding the false weapon. "Sorry, I did have to knock some sense into myself... You see, suicide isn't an answer to a temporary problem. I had courage on that one day to stand up to myself and stray from taking my own life. We need to stop looking back on the past and move forward, lest we will drown in our own sorrows, alright... Me?"

Kami stares at the golden eyed teen before smiling to him. That sad frown on the golden eyed boy begun froming into a small grin, before turning into a full on smile. As he smiles, he becomes enveloped in a blue aura that causes him to radiate with great energy, before dissolving into a form of a man in armor. As this happens, Kami utters something, smilling happily with sad eyes. "Thank you."

The man then transforms into a small tarrot card, one that could easily be crushed in his hand just as the others. He hesitates for a bit, staring at the card, before smiling confidently at it. It isn't long before it vanishes from sight, and into Kamis body.

"Come on, lets get out of here before anything else ha-"

---

Before he could finish speaking, a small sphere like object with a tongue rushed out of no where trying to attack him. He deftly side stepped the attack, countering the thing by pulling out his baton and smashing the thing with it. The blow hits, and Kami turns on the weapon with a sudden impulse, shocking it. The Slipping Halberie writhers in pain and begins to... Retreat? No its bring over eleven more of its buddies.

As the situation goes from bad to worse, Kami could only hold his ground and do his best to protect the ones he cared about... I mean, what else was there to do in a seemingly hopeless situation like this. Maybe if he bought them enough time...

-??? : Mirror World-
"Invoke the power of your personas!"

---

-Kaminari : Mirror World-
As Kaminari reflected on the situation, he heard a voice seemingly shout out from no where. "(What, invoke the power of my?...) As he thought, the same blue glow from earlier resonated above him, and began floating downwards. As he stared in wonder, all he could do was grin wildly. Kami began moving his hands into a fist like motion, but not before uttering one word.

"Persona!"

And then, with all the might in his body, he crushed the card, shattering it into a million pieces. He then was also enveloped in a strange aura as earlier as an armored form with a lightning spear appeared behind him. The form looked at the enemies, seemingly intimidating the timid shadows. As this happened, a voice echoed through the area around him.

"Thou Art I...
And I am thou..."

"From the center of the soul, I come... I am Zeus... Leader of the Gods, Harbringer of Friendship."

As the voice resonated in his head, the summoned persona dashed at one of the enemies as Kami followed in tow. A Halberie rushed at them, and Kami caught it out of the corner of his eye. Zeus turned his undivided attention to the enemy, and quickly impaled it with his lightning spear. He then threw the thing off the spear at one of the other halberies, having them crash into a stall. Kami, points at the place where they landed, uttering "Zeus."

As he points, a small streak of thunder strikes the stall, killing the two occupants in it. As he stares at what Zeus had done, he was cut off guard when one of those things slammed into his persona. As it hit Zeus, he felt a tightening pain in his chest as if he was hit by the Halberies ram. Kami then springs upward, and smashes the spherey assailant with his Baton, before beating it until it was nothing but a sloppy, gooey, black mess. "I won't let you harm any of them, you hear me!"

As he belows this, he begins dashing at the nearest Halberie who seems poised, ready to attack one of the others.

"I am no longer afraid!"
