Chapter Text
“Stop this” the young man yelled at the weird man who was dressing with a cape decorated with hearts using a thong and having a crown on his head who just spit to the blond student who those weird knights beat to submission.
“Who do you think you are? You are just a peasant and I am the King of this castle” the weird man exclaimed. “Guards, grab him now while I finish with the nuisance.” He ordered as the knights grab the black haired man and pinned him to the wall.
“I can’t believe this is happening now”.
Ren Amamiya was lamenting that once again he failed to protect an innocent one, yet again maybe is for the best, considering that the last time he tried to save someone he got into an arrest and probation.
Before he could continue thinking on that he started to hear a strange voice as a butterfly was passing by his eyesight.
“This is truly an unjust game…Your chances of winning are almost none. But if you are hearing my voice there yet be a possibility open to you…”
After the butterfly disappear and before Ren had a chance to think, he started getting a massive headache and started to hear another voice.
“Are you really giving up now? You are really going to let someone else suffer just because of what happened to you?" The voice asked. “…No, I’m not giving up now.” Ren responded, “That’s right you are not losing this. I am thou, thou art I…now yell my name and show the world the hero you want to be”
..DUNAMIS!!!
As soon as he said the name a giant blue fire covered Ren’s body, which knock out the guards who were grabbing him, which also make the weird man and the other young man looking at Ren’s direction. “What’s going on?” Ryuji Sakamoto asked as the flames dissipated and saw that Ren now was wearing some weird costume. What was Shujin High school’s uniform was replaced with a red shirt that didn’t cover the midriff, blue pants with a white line with some black belts united by a blue gem and a metal ring in the middle of each leg and black gloves with silver patterns that cover half of Ren’s arm, also the fake glasses Ren started using to look more nicer disappeared with the new outfit.
The king started laughing on how dumb the black hair kid looked now. “You look like a stupid kid, guard deal with him now”. The weird man ordered to the remaining guard in foot who suddenly transformed into a Jack o’ Lantern dressed as a mage.
“I don’t know what is going on, but now I will stop you” Ren said as he rushed to the monster and started slashing it with the sword he just realized he was holding in his hand. As he was attacking and blocking the enemy’s attack with his sword, he noticed when the Jack o’ Lantern like monster look tired. “You are finished. SOARING STRIKE!!!” Ren yelled as he jumped and did a downward slash which seemed to finish the monster, which dissipated into black dust. “
Only because you had defeated my guards doesn’t mean you can…” Before he could finish his sentence the man was shoved into the floor by Ryuji, who had recover enough energy to move again. “Ryuji, the keys! Ren pointed to the keys which are near of Ryuj, which he grabbed and both escaped the cell and locked the man there. “What do you think you are doing to the king? When I get out I will slay both of you” The man yelled. “Shut the effin mouth Kamoshida” Ryuji answered to the man. “Now let’s escape while we have a chance”. Ren said as both man started running away from the cell.
After some distance the both stopped a moment to rest and as soon as he stop Ren changed again and he was on his school uniform again. “I don’t understand what is going now, but I wanted to thank you for saving me” Ryuji said to Ren. “No problem, but maybe you should thank me after we get out of here” Ren pointed out, which the blonde man nodded as they continue looking for an exit. After some few minutes running they found a dead end but nearby there is a bridge but seems to be unavailable to be crossed. “Oh great, now what are we gonna do”. Ryuji asked before both started hearing a voice.
“Hey get me out of here and I will tell you how to open the bridge.”
As they follow from where the voice came they arrived to another cell which had a weird cat-like creature behind the bars. “What’s this, a monster cat? Ryuji asked “I am not a monster cat” the cat like creature responded. “Whoa, the cat just talked?” Ryuji reacted to the answer. “I told you I’m not a cat, what are you a stupid blonde orangutan?” The cat answered almost making fun of Ryuji.
“Why you…” Ryuji was getting angry but before he could continue Ren tried to disarm the discussion. “This is not time for this. You told us you know how open the bridge right?” Ren asked for clarification. “Seems someone here is actually smart. But yes if you let me out of this cell I will help you to escape, this is my deal and do you accept? The cat creature asked. “Yes we accept, Ryuji please open the cell” Ren asked to Ryuji which he obliges a bit annoyed at the cat. A few moments later they return to the bridge where the cat revealed that there is a button on a statue nearby the bridge, which make the bridge able to be crossed “Good work cat, now lets the hell out of here” Ryuji said. “I told you I’m not a cat, my name is Morgana and I’m a human…I’m sure I am…” The cat said with a sad look in his eyes.
“Anyway let’s escape before…” “The prisoners are there, catch them now” some guards were running there the man and cat were located. As the guards got close Ren changed again to the weird outfit and prepared to fight, which the cat noticed. “Oh so you are an Alternative User too, interesting...” Morgana exclaimed, which got a confused reaction of Ryuji since he doesn’t fully understand what’s happening. “Anyway. Get behind us and we can talk about that after we finish with these guys” Morgana said as 2 guards caught with them and turned into more Jack O’ Lantern monsters.
“Let’s go LORELEI-TYPE I”
As Morgana yelled the name, a flame covered him which after it disappeared the cat suddenly was holding a staff that was larger than himself and was now wearing a white hair dress accessory. “Listen now, if you want to survive in a fight you must always try hitting for the enemy’s weakness, let me demonstrate you” Morgana rushed to the enemy as he strike the enemy with staff as he yelled “Collapsing Wave”, which created a wind which knocked out the enemy. “These enemies are weak to Wind. When you hit a weakness the enemy knocks out, which makes then vulnerable” Morgana explained. “Now try yourself on the other enemy”
“OK, think I can do this” Ren said as he started thinking if he can do something that does Wind damage. “Azure Edge” Ren said as he perfom a swing from his sword, which unleashed a green energy which after impact knocked out the enemy. “I knew you will learn it quickly, now let’s finish them before they get up”
“Soaring Strike”
“Flash Palm”
As Ren performed the downward slash against the knocked enemy, Morgana hit the other to a palm strike while holding his staff, soon the enemy disappear yet again. Before they could rest 1 more guard appeared, this time turning into some plant monster. “So now this enemy, let me handle it” Morgana said as he prepared to fight again. “
Change, LORELEI-TYPE S”
Suddenly Morgana changed and the hair accessory and staff disappeared leaving now some mask and some gloves in his paws. “You are not gonna stop me now.” Morgana said as some red lights started covering him body. “NOW BURN, FLAME BURST” he yelled as some fire energy came under the enemies, which knock the enemy out. “Now die, Ironl Cutter” as Morgana did a jump and perfomed a very strong punch to the enemy, which in impact almost look like a blade hitting the creature and disappear.
“What a weakling pest” the cat said as he returned to normal as he noticed the 2 man being almost shocked on what they just saw. “Oh…sorry I can get a bit aggressive when I used that form”. Morgana explained a bit embarrassed. “Sure that’s more that “a bit” aggressive, but that’s not the point, seriously what the effing hell is what those weird transformations Ryuji asked.
“Oh right, let me explain, usually people wear different masks and when they ripped their masks as spark of rebellion usually unleashes a power called Persona, but some specific individuals instead of that they tune to a power of another place, those we call Alternative User.
“Who is this We you refer? Ryuji asked. “…I don’t know, right now my memory is kinda blurry at the moment, I only know this castle of lust may hold a key for that”. Morgana answered with that sad look for before. “Morgana…” Ren felt bad for the catlike creature. “…Anyway let me guide you to the exit, before more guards arrived” the cat said as they try leaving the jail once again.
