**Slight Spoiler regarding ending of P3 and P3P. You have been warned.**
You have been given another chance to once again save others from the dark hour. Will you accept this chance? Arisato Minato?
Tartarus, the dark hour and the shadows don't just exist in the human world. It exist everywhere as long as there are others who have darkness inside them. And only you, Arisato Minato can help defeat the darkness. Now take up your mantle as the fool and help others to their paths.
Well here's my first shot at a second person pov using my favorite persona game. I also made this to get myself out of the writer's block I'm having... This might help me make new chapters for my other stories..
More tags and characters on late chapters..
Chapters (6)
i don´t read it yet but i am so happy that you write a story about persona, i wanted to read one so bad.
I finished Persona 3 and well have to end the extra chapter you can play if you have the (i suppose) special edittion. I mean the one where you have to play with Aigis.
I think i like it more then the Persona 4 but i only know 3 and 4 and like them both.
4565698 If you meant Persona 3 Fes... then yeah, I've played it... this was kinda spoilerific for those who havent finished FES or at least Persona 3 yet... but that's an old game so I expect people to have at least finished it
...
anyways... hope you enjoy this story... I'm going to sleep...
I like it, i don´t know if i would like him to make full sentences but now it looks like it would be enough like you make him right now.
It is very interessting and i can see maybe Granny Smith, Luna, Celestia, Discord, (Death, Moon, Sun, Devil) I don´t know i think i would make Trixy Magic and Twilight maybe Aeon the new link which i think was only in FES. Don´t mention it too much, but i think as much i like this game i maybe try to give my opinion or ideas sometimes. I don´t know if i can hold myself back that much here
4566259
Why would I give up? I just made it. Even though I only made this as a bounce back type of story doesn't mean I won't continue it. Also this story has a lot of potential. I like it xD.
4565925
Trust me, you would not like him with full sentences. It would be very out of place. He's known as the silent protagonist after all. This was the best I could do at the moment to make him the silent protagonist that he is.
Also isn't quite rude to see Granny Smith as the death arcana? You telling her to die or something?
But seriously speaking I love your imagination
and you'd be surprise at what I planned for the social links... This story might just be a bounce back but, I take every story I have seriously 
4567926
I'm not planning on making him a "Yu Narukami" if that's what you're implying... In Minato's case, he helps out for the sake of helping out. The social link maxing is just an additional treat.
I mean seriously. Minato helped a guy through his last days in earth, he helped patch things up to a family of a little girl, he rescued an elderly couple's dream by rescuing their deceased son's tree... I can keep on going but meh...
Sure, Yu did some good.... But compared to Minato... It just doesn't add up to an equal level.
Yu Narukami is the butt of the jokes, even often called the womanizer.
If you observe deep enough. Yu Narukami rarely has male characters as a social link, heck he even has two girls representing the sun arcana!
4567502 well Death Arcana wa always someone old and she is probably the first one which died in the show but i trust you with the sociallinks
I don´t know what makes someone the tower arcana, but in one thought maybe Cheerilee or Big Mac? Applejakc Chariot? or Power? yeah it is funny to think about it
Do you planned a little romance here? I think it doesn´t matter if he have a marefriend or nor, i just want to know. I think he stayed in Ponyville? I hope he doesn´t die, since Persona 4 i have he hope he doesn´t have to die....and here i stop because i think i am near a spoiler. (Then again i don´t know the other ending from FES. What always killes me after an hour training or two are light or darkness dungeons
)^
You can´t do much about it, well if you be happy and have the right persona and doesn´t die the first darknessattack.
4568839 wait wait wait.... Granny Smith died?! When?! I haven't been able to watch the episodes because of some internet connection problems... Videos won't run/load.
Also, you'd be surprised at what I have in store for this story...
4569150 oh sorry no no no, i don´t wanted to give that message, (my poor english) I just meant that because she is actually i think he oldest pony in the show, that if someone died then i think it would be her.
Sorry i don´t thought you would understand i that way
PS: Ahhh i think i have used the wrong tense
I'll probably have the next chapter later when there are more people online. More people = more readers.
Also I'm still a bit busy re-editing and creating this new chapter.
It is right now the only story which get a great amount of emotions out of me, i mean i am really happy if there is another chapter, the other ones, Romance or not are only meh.....
Applejack Chariot.....Futershy hermit? (was that an accarna? i don´t remember them that well.)
I just guess a few Arcanas for everypony, but i am not that familliar with their meanings.
Looks promising, if a little rough around the edges.
When talking with Philemon, it would probably be best if you cut out Minato's thought where he summarises what Butterflyface just said. Information should only be restated if it happened at multiple paragraphs ago, and even that's debatable.
4569167 The Death Arcana actually isn't explicitly related to age(as evidenced by the fact that Pharos is Death in P3).
4570575 some of the arcana that I give out to the others all have meanings... Main reason why I gave Rarity the empress arcana
4573149 You'll have to forgive me about this
...
It's my first time making a 2nd person PoV after all...
but that advice helps a lot, so thanks
4573412 let say i forgot a few meanings of a few arcana, i don´t know what tower means for example. I haven´t played it the last time, because i lend my brother my PS2. Devil is most of the town somehow selfishness i think.
Magician is maybe a dreamer, well that one Person i think in Persona 3 had to to realise that he wanted something what was nearly impossible.
4573191 yeah i know, but i think both of the death arcanas in Persona 3 and 4 (well the woman died later i think and like you said Pharos was death.)
Because no one in the show had a really bad illnes, that for one reason maybe Granny Smith could be one of the possible Death Arcana bearer. you could say that she maybe think about death a lot in the last time, and well i don´t know if you have to let her die then. I think it would be enough if it would be someone who thought a lot about deaht or someone who had to die.
I think i thought about Granny smith as the death arcana because of the older woman in Persona 4.
4573412 PS: Now i know what you mean, i forgot what i have written in my last comment about Applejack ect. I just tried to think who they could be from the characters out of the real games. You could say i tried to think of their images and don´t really thought of ther meanings, beside that i don´t know them all by heart.
I don´t know anymore the names of all the fire spells, but i hope she doesn´t use the highest spell allready. Well it make sense, because she is a magic talent, but i would prefer it if even she has still to learn. Now i believe, she is rather weak in her physik skills and the game produced enough weaknesses for Twilight, to be not allready higher leveld then Minato. To make it clear, i have nothing against it, i just fear that Twilight maybe could be to strong. (I don´t know all the spells right now, but i think that was nearly the final state of the spell.)
Good story anyway, you make nothing really bad till now.
4598349 well thanks for the compliment.
I get better and better every time I make a new chapter or story and I want to get even better.
Based on the spell strengths.
Agi = single, low damage
Agilao = single, medium damage.
Agidyne = single, High damage
Put the word "Mar" in first and they become AOE targets
example. Maragi = AOE, low damage.
so in a sense, Maragidyne is one of the strongest fire spells in the Persona game...
I have a reason why Twilight was able to use such a high level spell.
But here's a freebie. Notice how she was out of it? she was doing nothing except look at circe. She didn't even notice what happened at all!
Let's just say I plan to make the story more interesting chapter after chapter...
My head has been stuck on this story and now instead of this being a bounce back story... I can't concentrate on anything else but this... my mind keeps going from persona to MLP to this story then back to persona again...
I Blame the new upcoming game "Persona Q"... I am hyped for that game to get translated.
Anyways... any thoughts on who the owner of the eyes could be? I'll let you guess and speculate on that.
4598406 I want persona Q too, at first i heard you could make your own team, but then sadly it sounded like you only could choose between Persona 3 people or Persona 4 people, with the new double Character.
I have nothing against it being like Etrian Odysee, i have it myself, but i hope it is not that hard. I mean it isn´t to hard, it is more that you always have to make new Characters to get more skillpoints and and and... I am donßt through this game yet. I get bored because of always reapeating the circle.
So well the thing with one target magic and AOE i knowed aready, but thx for the reminder about the three grades of the spell.
)
Well i don´t have really a reason, but i hope Misato stays at least as strong as Twilight and don´t going to be weaker. I start to fell like i would be him in the story. (sorry if my sentence are bad, i speak German and don´t have the tiem right now to make sure all is perfect, but i think you can understand it.
4598732 yeah, I understand what you mean more or less.
well, good night to you german dude. It's 2 in the morning where I'm from and I need my sleep.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh i think i got it, since she is normally the number one Pony which is well the first one who go for sexual thing in the most fanfics.:rainbowlaugh
Normaly i don´t like her to be so foward about this, sometimes it even don´t match her personality i think, well maybe i just prefer it otherwise, but the joke is good.
4641231 well... That... and "Devouring her cupcakes".... yeah... it sounds like it could go both ways
4641237 hmmm that one i don´t noticed, i think i reading to fast again, but yeah i think i know where this is going, well good work and it is fast enough how the chapters come in. I tried a story from one guy who had an chapter every day, but it was not that good and to much to read, but that has nothing to do with this.
Just good work.
4641318 I could update daily... But then it would be rushed and I would feel its a job rather than a hobby since I'll be setting a deadline on myself... So I really can't do that.. Sorry
But on a good note, it won't take me months before the next update
If even luckier... I might get into a writing mood and make chapters or two for all stories....
4645190 i am not sure if i use the right words, but i wanted to say i rather like it how you do it with the new chapters i mean. And yes if it turned into a hobby it would probably make no fun anymore.
Bring in Mara, Bring in Mara, Bring in Mara, Bring in Mara, (Yes I know what Mara looks like.)
For some reason I can't shake the thought of Discord planting a copy of the Persona Compendium in the library. Twilight then stumbles across it and questions why there's a book in her library that she's never read and why there's a bookmark sticking out of it with the word 'Mara' written on it.
Hilarity and mental scarring follows.
4917491
4917491 you know... I might just make a short about Mara... Since you people seem to love that hideously disturbing and just plain hideous creature called Mara
But why oh why do you love that abomination?!
4917567 I suppose we enjoy making other people experience the same level of torment we felt when we first discovered the terror of Mara.
To further mess with your mind, Mara is also the name of two goddesses. One is from the Elder Scrolls series and exemplifies love, mercy, general happiness, marriage and motherhood while the other is from Hindu mythology and is a personification of death.
4917657 perhaps.
But about the mess with your mind thing... I know about Mara... I'm kind of a mythology nerd... Main reason why I love the Shin Megami Tensei series... Mostly P3.
You should notice about what I did about Twilight's Persona
4918602 Of course, I'm a bit of a mythology nut myself. Circe is the witch in Homer's Odyssey that turns Odysseus' men into pigs and keeps them on her island for a year.
What's really bugging me is why there hasn't been a Persona based off of Cthulhu yet. You'd think with all of the obscure references to various mythos used in Shin Megami Tensei that Cthulhu would be a bit more prominent in the series instead of just a one-time boss.
4918741 Mainly because Cthulhu is pure FICTION... Cthulhu isn't really a Real myth... just someone's imaginary Deity. Consider how all Angel/Demons/Characters are based on some real myths... I understand why Cthulhu isn't included.
Note, that even the christian religion wasn't safe in SMT's grasp.
4919139 Then how do you explain Nyarlathotep?
4920019 oh yeah, now that you mention it... Nyarlatoteph was in the tensei series huh... Ok I've got nothing then. Must be the producers or something like that then.
4921328
I searched around a bit and found out that Cthulhu was INDEED part of the series, only exists in Persona 2 and shin megami tensei 2 and megami tensei if.
So... I guess that counts?
4921348 I already knew Cthulhu had a part in the series, I even mentioned it. My question was why they never brought him back when they've brought back much more obscure characters, like Mara?
4921825 I don't really have a clue... but I blame them for milking P3 and P4 for that
Also, about the Mara thing. Peeps speculated the reason on why Mara was always more prominent in the games was because other peeps were actually asking for it... Mara... Freaking Mara... -_-
4922213 Again, the mentality is something along the lines of 'I had to go through this at one point, now it's your turn to be scarred for life.'
Call it a sick running gag.
4924895
4924895 ah, pretty much why Mara still exists at this point. Speaking of Mara, there's also Ymir... Ugh
4925813 While I do know about Ymir (Norse mythology being one of my favorites) I can't find any references to him being in any game in the Shin Megami Tensei series.
Is his existence being covered up or something?
4925915 He was in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 I think? Been so long since I played SMT:DS so I really don't know anymore.
4926894 Still can't find him anywhere. The hell internet?
4928013 might as well go replay it then... Still not sure if it was DS1 or DS2 though.
Yay!
Not once have I ever played a Persona game, or anything from the over-arching Shin Megami Tensei series. At some point I would like to rectify that despicable error. As it is, I am enjoying this fic, and shall await more.
At last i found fic about minato.......
Wonder why this feel like the game more than the movie....
I find it funny how everyone thinks the death arcana quite literally means death which is a common misconception when the card simply represents a drastic change in other words the card could mean anything from winning the lottery or losing your job.
Mara... Freaking Mara... Ugh... I'm scarred for life because of mara... The bad thing is that mara is sooooo good in persona Q! If you get it out of random chance with myriad arrows early in the game, you're going to use to most likely use it through the whole game... Ugggggghhhhh
MMMMMAAAAAARRRRRAAAAA!!!!!
Juuuust a random question, but is this story dead? It better not, Its just starting to get good....
