A/N: This story will be biased towards Personas and Shadows being stronger than the Precure universe, so if you do not approve of this, I do indeed apologise for it. If this unsatisfies you, please just refrain from reading and just leave without causing anything in the reviews and such.

Finally, there may be some made up Personas.

"Personas"


Two months.

That is how long Minato Arisato has been in this new world that he had been sent to by the owner of the Velvet Room, the one known as Igor alongside his assistant and also other resident being named Elizabeth. Having lived in this strange new world awaiting for the time in which IT will arrive, and he had feeling it will be soon.

Minato has dark blue hair unkempt at the front, blue eyes and a light yet sculpted build, his bangs cover his right eye. His outfit seemed to consist of what looked very much like a school uniform, which it indeed was as it was the uniform issued to students that attended the school known as Gekkoukan High, the school he attended in his old world.

He also had on his signature pair of clip-on earphones as well as it being attached to his neck strap mp3 player, the earphones playing through music as he held his usual calm and composed expression that seemed slightly emotionless. His face was honestly a bit of a blank slate as he rarely did actually show any emotion.

Minato knew that IT was about to begin soon in this world, and he was as prepared as he could be as he looked towards his desk to see that had his sword placed upon as well as a very familiar looking handgun, which was what was known as an Evoker. A very special item given to him upon joining S.E.E.S, serving a very important purpose.

Summoning forth his Personas.

Minato sighed as he sat down on the side of his bed with his arms resting on his knees as he looked up and out of the window towards the bright sky. Every seemed so peaceful, but that was going to change, and not for the better. He could feel it. He could sense it. While not as good as Fuuka, he very much could feel it in his soul.

This house that he was currently staying in was a gift from Igor, a place of settlement as he was now in this world, and no longer in his own. It took him a good bit to grasp the fact that this world, a world where he had no records, was indeed not his own and was in fact a completely different one altogether.

Just the thought of it would sound insane to anyone, if not for his kind of person as well as everything he had been through, that being of Tartarus, going up against the Shadows, and also the battle against Nyx, he would have doubted it completely. But, he knew that his journey was not over yet, it was only just beginning.

He remembered everything very much clearly about everything in his old world, all leading up to his final standoff against Nyx where he had utilised the power of the most powerful arcana, the Universe Arcana, to finally seal the being away with using himself as the seal itself to keep Nyx trapped away.

He had a mission here in this world, one very similar to the one in his old world, a mission assigned to him by Igor. He had a feeling the battles ahead won't be easy, so he needed to get stronger if he were to hope to overcome them in the near future. Minato held his expression, but he clenched his fists slightly as he then looked at his right hand.

Ever since having been taken out from the Great Seal, he could feel that his power wasn't near as much as it was prior to having used the skill to lock Nyx away. He could feel it, a majority of his Personas are locked away within his soul, only a very few still open to him as he could feel they were standing by him, even if he couldn't see them right now.

He sighed as he then closed his eyes with his hands in front of his mouth as his fingers were crossing over each other, he remembered what Igor had informed him of about his mission here in this new world and it honestly made him worried, something quite rare as he usually didn't put much care into things.

Minato sighed once again as he decided that he wanted to get some early rest for tomorrow, he would be busy tomorrow as a certain annoying factor was going to be happening that he was personally not really looking forward to. The factor of school. He had already graduated, and now he was starting again. But, thoughts of the mission still plagued his mind the most.

A new world... and a new Dark Hour.


Flashback


"Allow me to welcome you back, my favourite guest."

The voice along with a big chuckle could be heard from a man who appeared rather aged, having a rather long nose as well as bulging eyes that looked as if they could pop out at any moment, this person being none other than Igor, the owner of the Velvet. That same place being where Minato could currently be seen sitting at.

Igor having sat down in front of him with the desk that he always sat at being where he was resting his elbows, a woman standing beside him wearing mainly blue also staring down towards Minato as the boy held his usual stoic expression. The woman was none other than Elizabeth, the attendant of Igor and another resident of the Velvet Room.

Minato could remember clearly that he was fighting against another form of Erebus that had formed, and after having defeated it, he found himself here in the Velvet Room. He was full of confusion. Though, from what he had been told already by Igor, it seemed that the man had taken him away from the seal somehow.

"As the Universe Arcana represents the end of the Fool's journey, with it now being gone after having casted the Great Seal, your journey's end is but the beginning of another." Igor chuckled as the card floated above the table, which it soon disappeared. "Fear not, while you may not be acting as the seal any longer. I have only brought a portion of your power, the rest keeping the seal intact. Thus explaining your rather unfortunate... circumstances."

Minato sighed as he could already tell what Igor was talking about circumstances, he could feel that his power was indeed a fraction of what it was before, a number of his Personas being locked away within the sea of his soul. But, the other factor being was the change that his body seemed to have gone through...

Minato looked down at his body and noticed that his body had shrunken a good deal, appearing much younger than he was even before, he wasn't old at all before at all, just even younger now. If he had to guess, he looked to be the same as when he was thirteen years old, his body very much proving this along with his less sharper eyes. Though, he still seemed to keep his physique.

"I had not known the after-effects of removing you from the Great Seal, but it certainly could have been worse." Igor chuckled in amusement as Minato just stared at him, his stoic expression still on his face as he seemed to hold a slight deadpan. "There is no need to worry about your Personas, they are very much still with you, you just need to wait and they will come back over time."

Minato sighed slightly as he knew that his power was still left behind to hold the seal, which was a good thing, though he did wish he still had it. He could feel that he had access to a very limited number of his Personas. But, he couldn't help but worry about the fact that the seal could potentially break at some point if all his power wasn't there.

"You have been preventing The Fall from happening, acting as the barrier between Erebus and Nyx for a long time. Leading the world to a state of peace as much more minor incidents concerning Shadows occurred, life very much flourishing thanks to you." Elizabeth had spoken as she then added. "Unfortunately, another is in need of you."

"Explain." Minato blinked a couple of time as he furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the two residents. What could be so important that he was needed to be removed from the Great Seal? Igor was the one that soon answered as he had gained a grim look on his expression as Minato narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.

"As how you had made your way through Tartarus and had taken on the Dark Hour, all leading to you becoming the Great Seal against Nyx. I request for you to challenge it once again." Igor spoke as Minato actually showed shock on his face, an incredibly rare thing for him. "In another world, the Dark Hour has somehow formed itself along with another Tartarus, one very much parallel to your own."

"Is this Tartarus connected to Nyx in any form?" Minato demanded seriously as the male was not expecting something like this at all! He never thought that he would have to deal with another Tartarus ever again, along with more of the Dark Hour. Igor responded by shaking his head as he further explained.

"While I can confirm that this has no involvement with the one known as Nyx, there is another factor about it." Igor stated as Minato sighed in relief. He was relieved that Nyx wasn't the cause of this Tartarus and Dark Hour, but what factor? "Whoever created this new Dark Hour is a being far beyond the likes of Nyx, having created a much more dangerous adaptation of Tartarus and the Dark Hour. Shadows far stronger. A tower much taller."

"..."

"I know it's a hard pill to swallow. But, I all I tell you is the truth. I don't know the identity of this being, but I can confirm its power very well." Igor stated seriously as he closed his eyes. He then opened them and looked directly into Minato's only revealed eye. "I have no doubt in my mind that once this being finished with the world its currently at, it will expand and traverse across others and destroying them as well, including your own. They are very much capable of doing so."

Minato held a grim look on his face as he slumped his shoulders as his hair shadowed his eyes, dealing with Nyx was already horrible enough as it was, and now there was a stronger being? He wouldn't lie, he had his doubts that he could win if that's the case. It was thanks to the power of the Universe Arcana and the trust and belief of his comrades that he managed to seal Nyx.

Not only that, but his power as of right now also was not satisfactory for him if he needed to face an even stronger Dark Hour as well as the hellish tower known as Tartarus. If he did decide to accept this mission from Igor, then he could only pray that he will be powerful enough to even take on the floors of Tartarus, let alone if Full Moon Operations were to be had there.

The Shadows that appear during the Full Moon Operations back in his old world were immensely powerful, and it took teamwork amongst the members of S.E.E.S to be able to take them down. But, he was on his own now, he would be taking on the Shadows all by himself. Would he be able to do it? Can he do it?

"This world along with all others are in need of you... they are in need of a Messiah."


Flashback End


Minato groaned slightly as the sound of a loud ringing coming from the alarm that he had set had caused him to awaken from his slumber, he shook his head slightly as he sat up with the usual stoic expression on his face as he seemed to still have his earphones on while sleeping. Despite his expression, he was a bit annoyed.

Having to start school again and all.

While he certainly would not mind trying to go to sleep again, he doubted very much in his mind he would be able to force himself to do so. His job as a member of S.E.E.S back in his old world made him really get used to taking on a small sleep schedule, they had the problems with the Shadows and such after all.

Minato gave a small sigh as he got up and stretched his limbs a few times before getting undressed out of his old school uniform, which strangely had converted to his size of being a thirteen year old kid after being unleashed from the seal. As soon as he did, he went over towards the chair which was in front of his own desk.

He grabbed the pair of new clothes that looked to be a new school uniform, much less fancy compared to his old one. He sighed as he looked at them, he was not excited to transfer yet again into another school, this being probably worse as he was now a mature mind in a kid's body, it would take a while for him to get used to this.

He went in front of the large body mirror after having changed into his clothes as he nodded after checking that he was wearing it correctly and all, simply consisting of a button-up white t-shirt and also tight long black pants and leather shoes, nothing too fancy compared to his old pair of clothes. H, of course, connected his earphones and mp3 player onto his body again, it was a signature thing for him.

If he remembered the name of the school correctly, it was named after the town that he was now living in. Ichigozaka Middle School if he remembered it correctly. Minato sighed as he walked over to his bed and took hold of a black satchel holding all his needed equipment as he then swung it over his right shoulder and began walking down the stairs.

'I don't want to go to school again...'
