<Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own fate!>

Telling me to press it.

I pressed it and felt something reach out to me.

<Call upon my name, and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!>

Third POV:

(A/n: Recommended song: Will Power from persona 5)

The moment Y/n pressed the glowing button on his watch he was engulfed by flames.

Torchwick, the man Y/n labeled "the Bowler hat dude" took an involuntary step back, "W-What on Remnant's name is happening?!" he questioned seeing the flames surrounding the boy from before slowly lower themselves and instead gathered in-front of him.

They started to become solid and become a distinguishable shape.

"Per," Y/n said, as the flames slowly spun around themselves, creating a small tornado of flames, "So," the flames started to condense themselves in one spot, slowly looking more and more like something physical, "Na!" the flames became completely solid, imploding on themselves before bursting out.

From the burst of wind created from the implosion a figure appeared floating above Y/m. A very handsome man with black hair and burning orange eyes. He looked demonic, with skin as red as a moon in lunar eclipse, he wore white robes covering all of his privates, but still not covering part of his chest. On the demonic man's ankles and wrists were thick iron chains which seemed to connect to Y/n's. Most distinguishable of all were the two red horns coming out of the man's head.

"W-What is that?!" Torchwick asked, falling down as he stared at Y/n, who's black eyes had turned an eery yellow.

"I am Helios, I am the sun itself, only a fool would dare get close!" yelled the man floating above Y/n.

"Go now, run rampant and let loose! Burn all those who should try to force their will on your fate!" yelled the man behind Y/n.

"He is still injured, just shoot him till he dies!" yelled Torchwick, taking his cane and pointing it at the boy in-front of him. His eyes widened when he saw the small bullet-hole made earlier slowly close, with the bullet which was etched inside pop out of the boy's leg.

"N-no, that shouldn't be possible," Roman said wide eyed. The bullet holes all closed, leaving only the bloody clothes as evidence of his previous damage.

Y/n looked at his hands and then at Roman who gulped.

"Agi!" yelled Y/n as Helios snapped his finger, five small fireballs appeared mid-air and flew towards the robber, hitting him in full on the chest and sending him flying through the door of the building. Outside, Roman's jacket burned, however the man himself didn't take that much damage.

Y/n walked towards Junior's men and gave a confident grin. "K-Kill him!" Junior's men yelled, trying to shoot him, however Y/n just let himself get shot, only dodging or moving away when he saw they were aiming for his head. His wounds healed and popped the bullets out of his body slowly, it was painful but Agi took a lot of energy he did not have and his sudden regeneration for some reason did not.

He got close to one of the men in-front of him and punched him on the nose, making the opponent's head recoil back, Y/n grabbed it and then knee'd him on the nose again, he didn't stop there however, he let go of the man's head and then kicked his chest, making him fall down. Y/n definitely felt stronger than before.

He looked back and saw his persona smirking behind him, as if it knew of his sudden power up and will to get back at these men.

He looked around and saw the others of Junior's men were too scared to fight him, so he went back to beating the one near him.

The other four came at him all at once, one tried to punch him on the temple – that attack was stopped by Y/n's hand which grabbed the fist, another tried to kick him on the stomach, this attack was stopped by his other hand, which grabbed the attack effortlessly.

The other two grunts tried to punch him on the face and kick his shin. Y/n smirked, let go of the other men's leg and arm then he jumped on the air, twisting horizontally mid-air he managed to dodge both attacks by being exactly between the fist and the leg.

He landed on his feet and then punched two of the men on the nose, making their heads recoil. He didn't stop there and kicked one of the men to gain some distance, which he used to punch the last grunt on the stomach, and kept close to him so he could keep punching him from close.

The other man might as well have been a sandbag ready for use.

He started to feel his energy deplete fast, so he grabbed the man and threw him over his shoulder with an effective judo-throw before smirking to the other men. "Come at me," he said, looking at them.

The men saw Y/n and then glanced at the demon above him – they did not move.

"Oh, you think it's unfair I have him on my side?" asked Y/n, closing his eyes, suddenly the demon so-called Helios burst into blue flames and disappeared, "How about now?" he asked, Junior's men still seemed to be quite against the idea of attacking him.

"Oh? Is it because I am slightly taller than you?" asked Y/n, going on his knees and looking at the men on the eyes? On their glasses.

"How about now? I am unnarmed, shorter and have no advantage." said Y/n, smirking at the men who pointed their guns and tried to shoot him, only for them to not have any bullets.

"Oh, what a shame, guess you aught to fight me without guns." he said. The men looked at each other and ran straight towards him.

He grabbed the arm of one and used it's momentum along with a bit of his own force to re-direction the force to in-front of him, making the man fall on the ground chest first. Y/n then put the man on an arm lock and looked at the others which sprinted at the same time to attack him. He let go of the man's arm and then grabbed the arm of the two men trying to punch him while pulling them at the same time and lowering his stance, allowing his feet to trip both men at the same time.

He turned around and then kicked the two men on the nose, first the one on the right, then the one on the left before turning around and kicking the one on the floor.

They weren't done however, slowly getting up – this time all of them – they glared at him and got into a classic boxing position.

Y/n grinned and rolled his shoulders before getting himself on a boxing position. He wasn't about to get let himself get overpowered however, he quickly pressed his watch's button, "Persona!" he yelled as the flames surrounded him once again.

"Helios!" he called as the flames burst once again, showing the handsome demonic man, floating behind Y/n.

"Agi!" He yelled, sprinting towards the five men. The fireballs hit the man on the middle, knocking him back towards the door, Y/n grabbed the shoulder and belt of the closest man, who couldn't even react in time before his leg was swept, making him fall down.

"Agi again!" yelled Y/n as a man running towards him was hit with a fireball, once again forcing him through the window.

"Helios, attack the remaining men." Y/n said.

Helios' grin grew larger as he dashed towards the remaining two men and grabbed their necks, slowly choking them until they passed out, once they did he just dropped them on the floor before getting unsummoned by Y/n who was breathing heavily.

"T-Thank you." Y/n turned around and saw the cashier bowing to him, "..." Y/n looked around and noticed that thankfully the store was intact, with the only damage being done to the thieves themselves.

"You never saw me here, ok?" asked Y/n, running away from the store, the last thing he needed was for the police to find out he was in some sort of trouble, or for Junior to find out that he beat up a lot of his men.

To be fair however, they attacked him first.

As he ran away he looked at the watch on his left arm, 'Persona powers...' he thought clenching his fists.

"Persona powers..." he whispered as a smile creeped its way on his face. The moment he reached the nearest park he was shaking.

"PERSONA POWERS!!!!" He yelled, jumping on the air out of excitement, he couldn't contain himself.

He looked at his watch and was about to press the blue button again when his knees gave in and his legs buckled, suddenly he felt like there was no energy in his body.

He closed one of his eyes and started breathing heavily.

'Oh shit, I didn't think using persona would drain me so much.' Thought Y/n, slowly getting up and walking towards Junior's club, as he walked towards it he passed the store he had just saved – there was unfortunately no other way to go, that street connected with the street he needed to go through to get to Junior's club.

Every step he took seemed to suddenly take a lot more effort making it harder to take a walk and stay awake every time he took a step. He could feel his mind slowly drift away, but he wouldn't let himself fall asleep just yet, he had to get back to the attic.

He continued walking, each step more ragged and more tiredly, as if his soul was being slowly sucked, that's how he felt while walking. Just as he took another step he saw the silhouette of a woman grab his shoulder.

"Hey you!" Y/n couldn't make out her face, his eyes were too blurry from the exhaustion, he felt like was going to fall, so he tried to fall as lightly as possible, "Child! Are you alright?" He felt himself get flipped, he looked up and saw two green eyes before dozing off to sleep.

Y/n's POV:

(A/n: "It is recommended that you listen to Aria of the Soul from persona 3")

I opened my eyes and saw blue, 'The velvet room.' I thought getting up from where I was.

"Oh... it seems you have returned rather quickly," Igor said with a chuckle. I got up from the floor and looked at him, "I did not expect you to awaken your powers so quickly... it seems you are truly Fate's Performer." said Igor, making nod.

"The power you hold is that of persona," said Igor, "but, you should know," Igor chuckled, "Persona is a concept which many have not grasped yet, it is a power manifested from the heart and soul, and a power which is strengthened through bonds and emotion." He explained looking at me. I could move, but it was hard to due to the weight of the shackles.

"There are many ways to summon a persona, however most culminate to one thing," Igor chuckled, "Do you know what that is?" he asked looking at me as his grin widened once again.

"Resolve." I answered, making Igor chuckle, "My my... I wasn't expecting you to get that right." he admitted, "Yes, resolve is the only way to summon a persona – without resolve one's persona will be feeble and weak."he said chuckling afterwords.

"The watch you hold are the hands of time – they guide your resolve and initiate the movie that is your persona. They let your movie begin and give form to that which is in your heart." Igor explained, making me nod, "Most would only have one film in their hearts, however you are not... most people" Igor chuckled.

'Wait, is he saying that I am a wild card?! Please say I am!' I thought wide-eyed.

"You seem happy, are you perhaps exited with the prospect of being special?" asked Igor with a chuckle, "Well, I shall explain why you are special another time," he said making me internally grin – after all I already knew why I was special... or at least I had a theory as to why, hopefully I am right.

"You must get access to the item I asked for, the scroll will aid you in your quest – in it you will find further secrets which will help you in your journey to claim your fate." Igor looked up and then down again.

Violet stood up and looked towards me, "The power you possess right now drains you too much – I would recommend you train both physically and mentally so you don't waste as much energy as today." she said, making me nod.

"Ah, it seems our time has been cut short, once you acquire a scroll come back here, I will gift you a very useful ability." Igor said, "You must hurry, I can feel those who stay in the dark start to move."

I blacked out once again.
