So this is not really a crossover since Persona 4 is set a year after Persona 3... so... yeah... my point is that it's not a crossover and Minato will actually be 'alive' again! If you want to know how, well... let's see if I can do something about that in this prologue... as for couples, well you will have to keep reading for those, I will not point them out in the summary but there won't be any yaoi in this one, so you can be rest assured in that regard. Now then, let us begin! :)

SPOILERS ahead for both games (Persona 3 and Persona 4)

"Elizabeth."

The petite blonde just looked around at the sound of a familiar, cold voice. Indeed, it was her older sister... Margaret. She chuckled at the normal and frosty expression the elder had on her face.

"Aren't you busy lately, Sister, with the new wielder of the Wild card?" she questions back to the other blonde's simple statement of her name. But she was right, her sister should be busy helping the new person around, rather then being here with her poor attempts to find a way to ... without... she bit her lip as Margaret walked up to her, the woman's heels making the usual sounds on the ice hard floor.

"I am." she spoke in a sophisticated way. "But as you might know already, Master has a bad feeling over this new enemy that our latest Wild Card has to deal with so he wondered if there was a way for you to..."

"Not yet." Elizabeth sounded sad - completely different from her usual child-like personality - and looked down at the book that she was holding in her lap. "The only ways that would work only include setting that monster free and I..." she stopped for a moment before continuing. "... it is just not fair. He is too young to have to deal with this and even If I do find a way, what is to say that he will remember me - anyone - and that he would be safe?"

"Oh my." Margaret sounded amused, causing her younger sister to flush a pale shade of red. " This human really changed you, didn't he, little sister?"

"O-of course not!" the other looked up at her annoyed which only made her chuckle dryly before she spoke again.

"Very well... be aware that you cannot do this forever. You've been attempting so for well over a year now and we even had to replace your services with a strange girl who fascinated our Master..."

"I understand!" the smaller blonde snapped. Margaret simply raised an eyebrow at that. "I... I will find a way ... I know I will..."

"If you believe so..." the elder brushed her hair from her shoulder. "... who am I to not trust you to do so? But remember, the Master is getting antsy, you'd best hurry up in your... attempts." she turned around to leave. "... good luck."

Moments later, Elizabeth was alone again, only her book and the sealed body of the human who changed her for the better to keep her company.

"Welcome to our Velvet Room." Igor spoke with his familiar grin as he faced a teen with a stoic expression and silver hair, eyes as grey as the sky during a particulary bad storm.

"How may I help you today, young Master?" the blonde to his left spoke as politely as ever as the girl to his right wrote something on a notepad. The silverhaired teen, whose name was Narukami Yu, began to speak.

"I would like to fuse this particular Persona..."

"Can you believe it?" a headphone-wearing teen exclaimed. "Risette in the TV world? Why would anyone want to harm someone as cute and sweet as that?"

"Down with your fanboying, Yosuke." a girl with short hair and a sports jacket told him. "We won't know until Narukami-kun comes. Then we can go inside and find out for ourselves..."

"Chie is right, Yosuke-kun. Please be calm." a soft-spoken black-haired girl spoke. "We will save her, I'm certain of it!"

"I know that, Yukiko." the teen, Yosuke, stated. "But I'm just trying to figure out why..."

"Like Chie-senpai said, we won't know until we go in." a blonde teen, a year younger than the rest of the group and with a rough look to him, said. "Besides, we do need to wait for Yu-senpai. Going in by ourselves would probably be suicide!"

"That's pretty... reasonable... coming from you, Kanji-kun." Chie teased him.

"Well.. I... ugh!" the teen in question just blushed as the girls giggled and Yosuke just sighed.

"I get it, we will wait for partner to show up..." he muttered, leaning back in his chair. The rest of their little team did the same and went back to waiting.

Back with Elizabeth, who now simply staring at the book as she tried to think of something else, something strange happened. Now, that wasn't particulary normal because whatever happened around here was... well, nothing. There was normally no change to speak of. So when the blonde looked up at the sealed teen, shock on her normally hard to read face, all she could see was a bright source of light.

"What's g-going on?" she asked herself. "This is bad..."

"I will keep him safe and alive..."

The small blonde looked around, uncertain of where the voice came from or who it even was. It sounded eerily like... her eyes widened and she scrambled onto her feet, franatic.

"You shouldn't be here, he sealed himself away just so that you cannot...!"

"I am very much aware of that." she turned around to see that same boy that she saw from Minato's memories... his name was Ryoji, if she remembered correctly. "Erebus is indeed powerful but even he cannot get to me... it is such a foolish and human thing to think that is possible. Then again, humans managed to defeat and seal me ... no, Erebus ... away, as such, I believe that I should give them some credit... after all, credit goes where it is due."

"I still don't understand how you being here will help Minato!" Elizabeth stared at him... her... it... she wasn't quite sure which pronoun to use. The teen.. no, it was obvious that Nyx was speaking, just laughed as she continued.

"Quite simple, in fact." Nyx continued to speak through Ryoji. "I awakened from my sleep just moments ago and yet, this world still seems as dark and despair-filled as last time..."

"Don't you dare do anything!" the blonde ordered her swiftly. She knew that the new young Master was far from strong enough to face Nyx and her multitude of Arcana through Arcana Shift. "I will not let you!"

"I do believe that you do not understand me... very well, I will simplify it. The boy..." here, she looked up at Minato's still shining form. "... has used the Arcana of Death before... I know that he even managed to fuse Thanatos, which is quite the archievement... he should have no problems wielding my powers for the right cause..."

"What..." Elizabeth's eyes widened even more. "... are you implying that you will...? But you are...!"

"Indeed. But I do think that this boy changed a lot of people's lives, whatever it's for the better or the worse is still unsaid ... and some of those people aren't precisely 'human' either... are we not?"

The blonde stayed silent as Ryoji's figure began to shine in the same light.

"Now, it is time to awake the sleeping beauty."

Any thoughts? I know it's not very likely to make sense but if Minato managed to change so many people, I think he'd have some form of change on Nyx as well... don't worry, she .. ehm, it? ... still confused there... won't be all sunshine and flowers and butterflies. It's still Nyx in question, just one who decided to see what the human who managed to defeat her can do.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned! :)
