After playing the recent Persona game, I came up with an idea to have the Moon Angel Wing to have those kinds of powers. There won't be any battling in space this time, but at least this crossover will make up for it. So here we go and enjoy...

Emergency Landing

Peace...they say it's easy to earn and yet easy to have it taken away in front of our very eyes. This was the main lesson and the main reason why we fight across the galaxy. Wherever there is trouble present, we would be there to save the day and the lives along with it. It's how we've worked as one with the Angel Wing and how it will remain so. But this was a moment where we would be fighting on a different method, one that we never thought would come close to what we do.

It was the start of April on the year 413 on the TCY calendar and we were given an order from the Transbaal Empire. A scout team had reported of an isolated and distant planet in the far north east of the galaxy. According to the details, there were rumors of Lost Technology that was left abandoned on the planet and we had been assigned the task to travel over there and gather detailed intelligence on the condition of the world and what kind of Lost Technology that civilization had left behind.

"Elsior has completed drive out." Coco said. "No signatures detected."

"Yo, Arnold. We're here." Lester called.

I on the other hand was busy taking a nap in my commander chair, not noticing that we had arrived at our destination.

"Hey, commander!"

"Uwagh..." I woke up. "...are we there already?"

"Rise and shine, Arnold. Have a look for yourself."

Rubbing my eyes, I stood up and looked at the view in our sights. There was a gloomy looking planet, mostly in dark violet although it's probably because the light from the sun was behind it. I suddenly had this knack feeling that something very bad must've happened on that world and it would be up to us to solve it in some way.

"Well, it doesn't look pleasant at all." I spoke. "But then again, when have we ever had to face anything full of unicorns and rainbows?"

"Exactly. Let's not forget our objective here, anyways."

"Agreed, let's move forward and brace ourselves when we enter the planet's orbit, maybe we'll find a space dock soon."

"Shall we get the Angel Wing out, just in case?"

I shook my head. "Nah, we should be okay, we're very far away from what we usually have to deal with, let's not forget the time when I thought everything was lost."

Everyone nearly shivered, the memories of that awful creature the size of the moon were still present, but they were fading away.

"What have I told you about that?" Lester asked, feeling displeased.

"Sorry, sorry...anyways, it's not like we have anything to fear to space since we've made peace with the Val-Fasc as well as having the systems in the south east part of the galaxy being rebuilt. Even to this day, they're still not done. But this is different now, we're safe and there shouldn't be anything bad on the planet we're about to go to."

"Hmm, maybe you're right. In that case, let's stand by until we reach the planet's surface."

I nodded, sitting back in my chair, reminding myself to not fall asleep again.

End Of BGM

Things hadn't changed on the Elsior itself, the six angels were still themselves and the rest of the crew were going strong. My close bonds with the girls had remained strong and following what we had gone through since meeting together, we had a better understanding of wanting to care and protects others that mean a lot to us. On a personal note and even though, I had become very close with all of them, the idea of having a harem would just seem laughable.

We soon entered the planet's orbit and that was when the issue suddenly got real. The moment we got closer to the planet's surface, we found ourselves going faster.

"What's going on?" I asked, standing up.

"The ship's moving faster than normal." Lester replied. "Are we being sucked in?"

"If we are, that's horribly bad news. We're carrying a lot of Lost Technology, if they were to be destroyed-"

"Commander! The Chrono Drive system is down, we can't escape from the planet's gravitational pull!" Coco exclaimed.

"Our communications is down as well!" Almo added. "What we are to do?!"

"Arnold! We gotta do something, quick!" Lester said.

I stood my ground and sighed. "There's only one thing...brace for an emergency impact."

"What? Are you insane?!"

"Think about it, all communications and our chrono drive system are down because of this planet's gravity pulling us down. We have no chance of reaching a space dock now, we'll have to ready ourselves for the inevitable crash and pray that everyone of us survives!"

The Elsior moved faster and faster until we passed through the clouds, now we could see a massive abandoned city and a large crater beyond the city's view.

"All units, code red!" I exclaimed. "Stand by for impact and whatever you do, please come out of this alive!"

End Of BGM

Going faster, I could feel that this was going to be a close one. Thankfully, the ship had zoomed past the city, but now we were about to crash land into a forest. Every one of us found the nearest place to duck and cover. After what seemed like hours compared to seconds, the Elsior made contact with the ground and the several number of trees before crashing into the forest, we didn't even notice that the window of the bridge's view had broken.

"WOAAAAAHHHH!" I yelled as I felt myself being flung by the force of the crash.

I felt my body crashing through the broken window view and landing hard on the ground before losing all consciousness...it was like being knocked out in the gym again.

I slowly opened my eyes and somehow, I was able to stand up easily as if I hadn't hurt myself. I then looked around me to find myself in quite an interesting large room.

"What in the...where am I?" I asked.

"Ah, it seems we have a guest." A calm yet mysterious male voice spoke. "Hmhmhm."

I noticed a large desk and a chair in the middle with a large velvet carpet underneath. But the person sitting in it...I wasn't even sure if we was human. He was dressed in a suit with white gloves, yet had a large nose with creepy eyebrows. He wasn't alone though, there was also a small girl in a blue dress with long blonde hair and was carrying a book, she looked like a child in a way.

"What the heck...is this a dream?" I blinked, trying to make sense of it all.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." The creepy man greeted. "My name is Igor, I am delighted to make your acquaintance."

"Uhhh, n-nice to meet you Igor, I guess." I rubbed my head. "Did you say, Velvet Room?"

He nodded. "This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. In normal circumstances, only those who have signed the contract can enter this place."

"A contract? I don't remember signing anything, so how can I be here?"

"It may be that you were bound to encounter us by fate. Now then, why don't you introduce yourself."

I finally regained my confidence. "I am Arnold Williams, commander of the Elsior and the Angel Wing...so am I doomed?"

"Do not be alarmed, you are alive yet merely unconscious in your world." A small deck of cards appeared on the table. "Now then, let us look into your future, shall we?"

"My future...wait, what do you mean by all this?"

"Any concerns you have will be discussed in time." The cards flew around till they were lined up in a shape and possibly facing down. "Do you believe in fortune telling?"

"Well, there is this one fiery blonde girl who loves fortune telling and omen, she would love this place. But for me, it depends on what kind of fortune telling you have."

Igor laughed in a hum tone. "Each reading is done with the same cards, yet the result is always different. Life itself follows the same principles, yes?"

"Well, that is kinda true. So what fortune do you have for me?"

One of the cards turned over to show a part of a tower broken off from the main part.

"Hm...The Tower in the upright position represents the immediate future. It seems a terrible catastrophe is imminent."

Well that's obvious, considering that me and my friends had just gone through an emergency crash landing, just a moment ago...I hoped they were all right.

"The card indicating beyond that is..." Igor drew a second card that turned over to show a moon. "...The Moon in the upright position."

"What does that one mean?" I asked.

"It represents hesitation and mystery." The cards then vanished. "It seems you will encounter a misfortune and a great mystery will be imposed upon you. Very soon, you will enter into a contract of some sort. After which, you will return here. This is a turning point in your destiny, if the mystery goes unsolved, your future may be forever lost."

"Well, this is all very interesting, but I already have a goal. I was given orders to find and recover Lost Technology on this planet, but are you saying that the world I'm on now isn't abandoned?"

I got no response, I assumed that I would have to find out myself.

"A-anyways, what is your role in this Velvet Room?"

"My duty is to provide assistance to you to ensure that does not happen. Now then, let my assistant introduce herself to you."

The small girl smiled at me. "Greetings, Arnold. I am Lavenza and I will be providing you with the assistance you will need on your journey."

"Nice to meet you, Lavenza." I shook her hand.

"Likewise."

"We shall attend to the details another time." Igor said. "Until then, farewell..."

Suddenly, I felt my vision and focus fading away before a bright light clouded everything.

End Of BGM

"Ngh!" I woke up and found myself lying on the hard ground. "Owww...I landed really hard..."

I struggled to get back on my feet before standing up and checking myself over for possible injuries. There weren't any though, making me one damn lucky son of a gun.

"So I'm in the forest, eh?" I shook my head. "Oh yeah! I gotta find the Elsior, I think it crash landed that way. I really do hope everyone survived the crash, we have a lot to do here."

I suddenly remembered of my encounter in the Velvet Room and what Igor had said. But what kind of catastrophe did he mean and if this world is not abandoned, what kind of dangers are there and would I or my friends be able to deal with any of it? Then again, I shouldn't be questioning the logic of this galaxy, considering what's happened in the past. I took a deep breath and began walking through the forest, hoping to find the Elsior as soon as I can, whilst praying everyone else is in one piece.

But I could tell that nothing would be as simple as that, but this was a new adventure that was to begin...and I wondered if I would be ready for this...

Going through the forest with an exhausted body was not my idea of a walking trip, but I had to bear it for now until I could find the Elsior. After what seemed like several minutes of trying to not trip up, I then spotted something metal by the edge of a forest. I quickly dashed towards it and then I heard sounds of fire and smoke coming out of a few places.

"Crap!" I exclaimed in a quiet tone. "Please tell me this isn't..." I paused and then spotted a broken hatch, the one that's used when spacesuits are worn. There was no denying it, this was the Elsior that crash landed here. In that case, I was hoping that some of the systems were still intact and that there may be a city nearby where we can at least repair some of the damage.

But yet, I could feel a sense of dread when I grabbed the door handle, I opened it and I walked inside to see how much worse it could be on the inside.

BGM: Persona 3 - Fearful Experience

I walked through the hatch room and then found myself in the hanger before stopping myself instantly and I gasped in absolute horror. Parts of the hanger were a complete wreck, broken armor plates, battered ammo crates and the hanger doors on the floor had almost been completely torn off due to the impact of the crash. But the worst of all...were the Emblem Frames, all seven of them, the ones that we had fought many battles in were all completely wrecked and each of them laid out all over the hanger.

"Shit! We can't even pilot our frames and fly away...now where the hell is everyone?"

I left the hanger and made my way across the entire ship. The engine room was heavily damaged, it would take weeks to repair this area. The rest of the rooms were not so promising either. The firing range, the simulation room, the infirmary, warehouse, Block D of the entire ship was a wreck. I suddenly gasped again, the Whale Room...oh god no...I dashed over to the while room as I thought the worst had happened.

Yet somehow, when I got there, the room was perfectly intact...no way, did the Space Whale risk it's giant body to cover and protect this room from damage?

"Space Whale?!" I called out. "Are you okay around here?!"

I suddenly heard the rumblings coming from the water...and out came the Space Whale itself, but it didn't look or seem happy at all.

"Kwuooooon..." It roared weakly.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright...what happened here?"

It looked at me sadly. "Kwuooooon..."

"Oh right, I can't understand your words, only Kuromie can." I sighed. "Then where is he?"

The Space Whale turned to the small office as if to point out where he is, but the office itself was destroyed. Upon looking closely however, there were no signs of any of the small animals. No cages, nothing...as if the place was evacuated. I was beginning to get a picture, after the crash, they must've left the ship together and possibly sent out a search party to look for me.

"Okay, I think I understand now, hold tight Space Whale, we'll find a way off this planet."

"Kwuooooon!" It roared, a little happier in some way.

I left the Whale Room and resumed exploring the rest of the ship. Block B was wrecked, almost as bad as Block D was which is obvious, given that these two blocks were on the bottom part of the Elsior. I dashed up to Block C and it wasn't as bad as I thought, the area seemed okay, minus a few walls cracked. The doors to the girls rooms were slightly damaged and easily accessible to open, there was no sign of them here. I then made to Block A and walked to the bridge to witness the place that wasn't too bad. apart from the window in the front that had broken...and the same thing I whooshed through, I was so lucky that my body didn't suffer any bad cuts.

"So no one's here...in that case, they must be still alive somewhere." I said. "There's nothing that can be salvaged here since the whole system's wrecked, guess my only option is to go to the city that we saw earlier and find some help...and hopefully, find the rest of the crew that got out."

End Of BGM

I left the bridge and then made my way back out of the Elsior. Lady Shatyarn and Noah will not be pleased to hear how badly damaged the ship and the frames are, I had hoped they would go easy on me, given the circumstances of what's happened here.

That mention of the moon demon was a nod to my other story "Sorrows Of An Angel", you could say that this is a follow-up of some sorts.
