I haven't read this yet, but I have a feeling this might be one of the best chapters.
I already started reading this, and I totally forgot about the blog post where you said to read the LTE version instead.
Well, Eris doesn't actually say she's not Fluttershy, just acts like it's crazy that she would be Fluttershy. I actually don't really suspect it is Fluttershy but... that's what a genuinely manipulative person would say. But if we're talking about Eris being a liar, just lying and making it seem like Eris thinks them thinking she's Sunset Shimmer is silly is also a really good strategy.
I guess what I'm saying is: I wouldn't put it past Eris, whomever she is, to lie well about her identity. So well that even them guessing correctly could be characterized as silly by Eris.
Of course, with two antagonists, there's at least one that can't be Sunset Shimmer.
So... death is actual death, huh? Not KO'ed or critically injured, but literally death. Seems like something Persona would do, though. Shit gets dark.
And... well the end with Shining Armor was bracing, and more than a little unexpected. It's sort of a long-time coming, but I didn't think it was going to come to an actual head, instead having Shining Armor kind of passively have to accept that he's going to have to trust his wife like he had.
I'd say vanishing in front of his eyes might give him reason to believe a supernatural explanation.
Gotta say, I've waited for this quite some time. And BOY, did you fulfill my expectations.
Awesome chapter, especially with the change in perspective, as far as LTE goes. Eris losing control, two temporary deaths, and a minor heart attack for me at that point...
Also, Rarity still doesn't get a social link? This should be interesting.
Huh. Well, here's hoping the S.Link with Shining recovers soon.
So death was coming in more ways than one. :pinkie happy:
Well, kinda.
Also Shining Armor is pissed again. This should be fun.
5662795 Will you PLEASE knock it off with your creepy obsession with death? Shit FUCK...
Okay, so a lot happened here...
1: Eris seems like she doesn't want to be known as Fluttershy, but a lot of things happened here to sort of confirm that it IS Fluttershy, at least to me. Like how she walked off and disappeared right before the party.
2: That scene where Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie died nearly killed me. I was so happy that Rarity awakened to her Persona when she did, and speaking of which...
3: Her default weapon is a handgun?! Why does that suit her so much?! I love it.
4: Eris working together with Flash's team? Why not? Sort of also leads to me thinking that its Fluttershy, but eh...
5: Damn, that ending... What a sucky way to end the night. I knew that wasn't going to go well. How the hell are they going to fix THIS?!
I think this was the best chapter so far. The LTE version was really well made. Are all the chapters caught up on there? If so, I think I'm going to reread the entire story so far there JUST to see how much is changed. You have a true gem here. I'm somewhat envious, as your Persona story is way better than mine, but rather than hate on a better writer, I wish him the best.
Seriously, keep up the great work and awesome writing.
5662828 LTE is fully up to date, with the caveat that additional material could be added retroactively at any given time.
Also, thanks. This is by far my most ambitious project ever.
Real subtle there, MythrilMoth.
I'm just saying, but if people just suddenly disappeared in front of me, I'd probably be at least somewhat likely to believe the crazy truth about shadow monsters and a time-stopping space seperate from the real world, especially if two of those people suffered some burns that I knew weren't there before.
But that's probably just me, though...
No!! Not reversed! That sucks!
5662807 Sorry. I didn´t meen like that. I just thought it would be a fun joke.
5662846 Whether or not people are like this I don't know but the general perception in these stories is that people refuse to believe things that "aren't possible." For once, I'd like to meet someone who subscribes to Sherlock Holmes philosophy: "When you've eliminated all other possibilities, whatever remains, no matter how unlikely, must be the truth."
Am I the only one who thinks it's interesting how everyone else on the team has Personas from the Greek Pantheon, while Rarity has a Persona from the Egyptian Pantheon?
Mother of... wow. Freaking wow. This chapter had a long way coming, it arrived at full speed and did a Kill Rush on all of us... literally.
I really wasn't expecting something this dark, and what's with Eris telling them about Recarm? I get that she needed ZIT to kill Capricorn so that she could escape, but she told them how to revive two of her oponents and in the process, made Rarity awake her Persona.
Bastet is an interesting choice. Not one I would've expected, what with the Greek streak you had going on. I like her design though. And brilliant way to portray Sukunda other than a purple (or was it green) orb engulfing the target. Kudos to that.
One particular of the LTE version I found endearing: Sweetie Belle's got lungs.
I have the feeling that Fluttershy is possibly the greatest warrior out of all of them
This chapter delivers Moth. Oh boy, does it ever. And that ending .
I knew it was a good thing to fave this story.

Ooo, this is going to be interesting! Forgive me if I quote from LTE as well!
RAINBOW POV
Huh, looks like they're actually gonna tell her this time!
FLASH POV
Guess they really are! Here's hoping it goes well.
Glad to see Sonata's really becoming one of the gang!
RAINBOW POV
Yeah, figured as much.
For those who are about to die... We salute you!
FLASH POV
Oh, this? This is just chump change! Don't even ask what her wedding reception is going to be like!
"And I mean the Hoity Toity bit seriously; Rarity insisted. Man charged me more than I make in a year..."
TWILIGHT POV
Truly, the best use of your time!
FLASH POV
As if this wasn't hard enough...
Begin Boss Fight! For a theme, let's go with something that sounds...Elegant!
Interesting. A betrayal... or are the Hunter Shadows growing in ways they weren't intended too?
No... No! NoNoNoNoNoNoNO!!!
Hello, Rarity. You are Slave. Want Emancipation?
Note: she might be able to do that in a fight, later on. Also, Rarity gets a gun! Huzzah!
Fluttershy: "Isn't nature fascinating?"
Dang, now they have to put actual effort into arming her!
Great idea, pink one!
I don't know, but I fear you better do it fast...
Figured she'd be Empress, but glad to see that confirmed. Any reason to make her Egyptian?
5663233
It is also possible that Eris doesn't actually control the Hunter Shadows and is just taking advantage of their attacks to fulfill her own goals.
This quote from Pinkie's birthday seems to indicate that she is concerned with getting attacked by the shadows herself:
Okay, that was intense! Rarity was a livesaver here!
Why do I think they're really screwed with Shining? I know the reversed Link with Cadance was repaired in short order, but they're in a dilemma here, needing to tell Shining something he'll never believe...
Eris, my dear, sometimes you have to practice pragmatic villainy. Team up with the heroes to fight the bigger threat! Also, I'm gonna stop trying to guess your identity. You may or mat not be Sunset and you may or may not be Fluttershy...
Very interesting that Rarity has an Egyptian deity instead of Greek and she's the only one without a Social Link. Discounting Eris's user, of course. Coincidence?
5663363
Well, our esteemed author did mention that Rarity's S-Link will start up after her birthday
He's already seen them disappear into thin air; I'd say the odds of him believing the truth to be slightly better than 'never'.
So somebody's fetish at Las Vegas?
GANGBANG!!! YEAH!!!
HOOF TYING GANG BANG!!!!!!!
Then my shadow version of me was formed and went to the game/manga Kingdom Hearts
Also handgun hidden in a purse?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Re: Rarity walking like an Egyptian
There's not really any additional symbolism or meaning behind Rares having the Egyptian cat goddess, not beyond the symbolism already inherent to the deity, that is :) Although the central motif of PEG is and will remain "Greek myth", variety is the spice of life and all that.
But more specifically, when we were going over candidates that matched both her personality as well as Empress, we found the Greek pantheon somewhat lacking for our purposes. Hera was our initial idea, but... the conflict between even Hera's better attributes and Rarity was too great to wave away. So, we decided to take a page from Persona 3 and allow an Egyptian entry --which isn't even that distant from the original line, since ancient Greek theologians constantly dabbled in cultural syncretism with that nation. (Also see: Persona 3's Roman and Hindu deities for Aki and Ken.)
Next, her Rainbow Persona will be the Aztec goddess Coyolxauqui! the-weaving.com/images/temp/emot-grin.gif
[j/k]
Wait, wait, wait. Can't characters tell when their Personas evolve? Why does Twilight not know what's going on? And for that matter, how was Flash able to sense her transformation when she couldn't?
I know this is WAY to early, but any plans to write a sequel based off of Persona 4 Arena?
5663487 Not sure why Twilight didn't know, but Flash has the whole Fool/Wild Card/ "Infinite Possibility" thing going on, so he learned about it the same way he learns about any maxed S. Link.
5663420 Ah! Thanks for the explanation!
5663487
5663601
That's exactly right. The same Wild Card that lets him establish S.Links allows him to see how his influence and support have awakened the true potential of his bonds. Since these particular bonds have Personas of their own, this translates into seeing the transfiguration firsthand.
But as far as Twilight was concerned, her realization was just that, a personal breakthrough; she knew she had changed from the person she used to be, but she didn't know it would lead to a metaphysical correlation with her actual Persona. Heck, hardly anyone in the PEG or Persona universes ever realizes that Personas ARE literal manifestations of a personality, they only think they're entities born from their determination and will to live. So, she had no reason to believe anything had changed.
But now they all know that a Persona can change...
5663398
Where it went and called itself Xahlfs.
5663714 I can't speak for Persona 3 since I don't know it as well, but every time someone's Persona evolves in P4, they say something to acknowledge that they've received new power. Even if it's a simple "New power, huh?", they know it's happening.

Random question to every body; What would you're nobody name be? Both user name and real name? I mean, only if you want to
Dat reverse in the connection and slaming the door to the dorm because they cant tell them truth about zodiac and he wouldnt belive the truth so they have to make up lies that he dont belive so they stuck in dat reverse conection and now she feeling down in the dumps because her brother is mad at her for disappearng at the party doe
Totally called that they would get their clothes trashed while in Zodiac.
I'm starting to think Shining needs therapy as much as Cadance does. Boy has trust issues. Also, sister issues. >.<;
So, Eris has been in Zodiac longer than the rest, can make her own weapons, is totally Fluttershy, and knows about the kind of powers that different Personas can awaken, BUT didn't know Personas could evolve. Interesting.
It sounds like Capricorn was feeding off the other Shadows, which made it more powerful that it should have been, hence why Eris didn't know it could trap her as well as the rest of them.
So, Rarity is the gunner huh? I knew someone would end up as one. Wonder how Cadance is gonna swing THAT weapon choice.
5662687 I'm thinking hers may start tomorrow. With what happened today, she may open up tomorrow.
5663869 One step ahead of you. Jardex would be my Nobody name.
If disappearing right in front of him isn't enough, all ZIT would have to do to prove their story is enter a room with one door, have Shining stand in front of that door, then use Zodiac to get around him. He'd either go into full denial mode or accept at least part of their story.
Speaking of Zodiac, it seems to be syncing with the real world more and more with each boss defeated. This leads me to believe they are the beings holding Zodiac together. When they're all defeated, Zodiac will either A) Disappear completely, or B) Merge with the real world and unleash Shadows upon it. Turns out Eris was trying to prevent this the whole time!
As for Eris, we know she's been at this a lot longer then ZIT. I think Fluttershy is still tied to Zodiac, but might not be Eris. Considering Zodiac is tied to Canterbook, Eris might be some kind of Administrator or Rogue AI in the system. (On an unrelated note, what would happen if one tried to access Zodiac on a day where Canterbook was down?)
I hate to say it but you're fucked.
5663487 See Zef's explanation.
5663538 No.
I'm thinking that Eris is Zuri Polomare
Ok, can someone please tell me what this persona 3 is!? Alot of the comments from this story are related to it. Plz tell me.
5664014 Same.
5664863 Persona 3 is a role-playing game in the Persona series--the game series this story is a crossover with--which is a subseries of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
5664724
Awww...
Hey, Flash! Could you PLEASE just tell everyone the truth? Seriously, It would be much easier.
5663833 True, but the Scoobs also summon their Personas directly from within their minds --and they also awakened to them in a more intimate, transforming manner. The ZITs, on the other hand, still use an app to bridge the gap between the conscious and the unconscious selves.
And then we have Persona 3's SEES, whose Personas evolved through their own willpower, with no Wild Card to assist them, so they're probably even more attuned to their Personas than the other two groups.
5665089 Pinkie would've been the Teddie of the roster, that much is obvious (tossing random ailment-inflicting items out of her hair and using the Party Cannon as her Instant Kill) but coming up with demeaning epithets for the Announcer to use on the characters would've been interesting :)
5665089

"She'll eat you out of house and home if you let her...the Bottomless Pit of Despair, Twilight Porkle!"
"All the ladies want him! He sees more pussy in a week than you'll ever see in your entire life! THE WAIFU STEALER, FLASH SENTRY!"
Etc. etc.
5665413 Yeah, that's fair. I may have underestimated just how much thought Myth put into this, if that's how he intended it.
Also, calling the P4 gang "the Scoobs" has earned you my undying adoration.
5663946 Just perusing (as it were.)
5663420
Well, considering that Egypt was one of the first civilizations that believed in eternal life and gave a great importance to death, having an Egyptian Goddess as a literal life-saver is pretty clever.
5665433
Spike should be the announcer instead. But then Spike, a dog, suddenly talking would be SO funny!
5665000 Thank you, honestly you saved me like a weeks worth of searching.
5665433 5665457 5665946
Why P4A? If PQ's premise is so much better, though a little hard to translate to narration... and it'd probably need another fanmade Persona fanfic with a different cast, unless one dared to make it a threeway crossover with P3, P4 and PEG
Hmm...
So fare I've been loving how all of the original personas look. I know I said I loved Nike but I think Bastet may have just beat her.
