Persona 5 / MLP Crossover.
(Now with a Tvtropes Page!🥳)
Her Majesty Princess Celestia, the Prideful self-styled Goddess of the Sun and mother of all sins who crossed the thin line between righteousness and self-righteousness.
You are the ruler who hides her hunger for power behind lies and facetious benevolence while condemning an entire race to extinction.
We have decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth.
We will take your distorted desires without fail.
From,
The Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
When a huge chunk of Equestria appeared floating above Japan surrounded by a bright golden barrier, everybody panicked until Celestia appeared before them with promises of friendship and peace…
But then things changed.
The Barrier soon started growing, engulfing everything on its path and killing every human it touched while leaving behind everything else, albeit “Purified”.
Even Celestia changed, and what once were promises of camaraderie and brotherhood, became veiled threats:
“The Barrier cannot be stopped, we are sorry.”
“We cannot control it, but you can still be saved! Convert! Become a pony! Become one of us and the Barrier and the Magic of Equestria will no longer hurt you!”
But while some believed the words of this gentle mare, others felt mistrust and fought back, turning the offer of Conversion into an obligation:
Convert or Die.
All while still begging Humans to accept, even when Conversion showed dire downsides to the humans undergoing it.
But there is no longer time, if the humans can’t decide, the Ponies will decide for them: Conversion! Conversion at all cost!
And from the shadows of despair, a last spark of hope emerged!
A group of young forgotten heroes, called back in action by the Staff of the Velvet Room to enact the Greatest theft in history!
It’s time for the Phantom Thieves to return, and steal the purest hearts of them all before those too fall into Distortion!
Equestria will never see it coming.
I'm calling it now but Sombra's influence before he was banished.
9350824
Nope! XD
I have another plan in mind.
But Sombra and other evil guys will also come up...in a different way 😉😉😉
Celestia never called herself goddess, so calling her 'self styled' is wrong.
You are not very familiar with Persona 5, do you?
People that are "Distorted" by their inner Darkness tend to have a rather big problem of Ego...Wasn't it the same with Nightmare Moon? Or any other bad guy in the series? Then why not having Celestia here starting to develop megalomania after being corrupted?
Where is the difference?
Do I have to spoil the entire plot?
9355137
just so we are clear.
THAT LITTLE THING YOU SEE IN THE STORY LONG DESCRIPTION IS A FIRST DRAFT OF THE CALLING CARD DEAR CELESTIA WILL BE DELIVERED WHEN THE PHANTOM THIEVES WILL GO STEAL HER HEART AT THE VERY END OF THE STORY.
IT'S A BIT OF A SPOILER TO SET THE MOOD:
THERE IS "SOMETHING" THAT HAS INFECTED CELESTIA THE MOMENT SHE STEPPED INTO THE P5 VERSION OF EARTH THAT IS SLOWLY CORRUPTING HER AND THE ONES AROUND HER.
IF THINGS ARE NOT RESOLVED BOTH HUMANS AND PONIES WILL FALL INTO "RUIN" AND IT WILL BE GAME OVER. FOR EVERYBODY.
I WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN A CERTAIN AIR OF "MYSTERY" ON THE OVERALL PLOT, SO PLEASE TRY TO NOT FORCE ME TO PUT SPOILERS HERE JUST TO APPEASE THE RABID FAN INSIDE YOU.
Thank you.
Sorry for the caps-lock, but it was necessary.
9356159
Don't let him get to you. AW doesn't like any CB fiction, except his own.
9357964
Thank you
Mmmm, nice touch at the end. Even though I didn't play this game (yet), I've seen gameplay of it and it would be a better story of I actually play it.
9368759
It's awesome. A bit overwelming sometimes, but very entertaining.
Design of characters and monsters is incredible, and the plot is very peculiar.
I Will try to put as little spoilers as possible in this story, I am sorry if this still happens though.
I am hooked on this story.
Wouldn't Izanami from 4 just fuck up Celestia?
9405731
I am not very familiar with P4 since P5 is the first Persona game I play, so I can't answer that...What Do you Think would happen in that case?
9405766
Izanami gets off her ass and crushes Celestia as the guardian of humanity.
9405792
Wouldn't that be boring to read then? 🤔🤔🤔
9405804
Not really.
Great chapter. As for idea's for AJ's Palace, her distortion, or issue needs to be known, to make a good Palace.
9406387
That is the problem...what are her issues? In the original series, did she ever get a psycho moment like the others?
Shy is telling herself she is taking care of them.
Dash believe to be a super Hero because she is fighting a Winning War.
Rarity is becoming dangerously fixated with Absolute Beauty.
Twi is getting mad scientist like towards Humans.
Shining is stressing so much about military matters to turn into a fanatic robot.
Cadence is holding a "crusade" against humanity inner hatred.
Luna is so afraid of humanity inner darkness to fight it at all cost (she doesn't know that contrary to ponies, inside humans Light and Dark can coexist).
Spitfire is getting sickeningly perfectionist since she and her buddies have to hide the truth to the pony population with their shows.
Blueblood is simply racist against humans and sees ponies as the superior race.
Pinkie is telling herself that everybody is happy about Conversion and that she soon will have lots of friends, so a Super Party needs to be prepared...
But AJ? No idea...help!
After Shy it will be Pinkie turm since she is the second "Weakest" in terms of delusions about Conversion...But then it will be AJ turn, any ideas?
9406441
It's certainly a difficult one. Maybe she knows what is going on, but willingly turns a blind eye to it? Going against honesty, in favour of the conversion.
9406507
So a "Blindness Theme " ? I can work with that!
I like that! It can even play well for her "Boss Fight" and Palace! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you! You are a Genius! 🤣👍👍👍
9406529
Nah, just the first thing that came to mind. Its works with some issues she has had in the past, and has also been a theme of a canon Palace.
9406529
You know, I'm glad you have a fairly good idea about what you want to do. Because I see a fair amount of Persona fics go unfinished.
9407222
Thanks XD I even have Celestia final fight and form already planned and half written 😎
The only thing I lack is time to write 😭😭😭
And the talent, that too could be a bit more abundant 😢😢😢😢
9407278
From what I've seen, you have nothing to worry about with talent. Just need time to write.
I had a thought, and now a question. Will Fluttershy join the Phantom Thieves?
9409099
As a confidant, like Spike.
Bad idea? 🤔🤔🤔
9409139
Maybe, but you would think she would notice that her friends are acting off, once she has the Change of Heart. And remembering that the Phantom Thieves helped her, she may try to contact them.
9409146
Exactly, she sees that "Ruin " is Corrupting her friends, and helping the humans that can save them looked logical, to me at least 🤣🤣🤣
And Spike loves twilight, watching her go mad should technically push him to look for "alternative solutions " to save her...
9409158
Of course. This will be interesting.
You know it would've been funnier if you had Lavenza wear a mask and livestream the calling card.
9412009
Curious you would mention that ...
😎😎😎😎
9412473 Speaking of Lavenza, are you going to have them meet her siblings?
9412518
Unfortunately I started my experience with the Persona franchise with P5, so I wouldn't know how to do it 😔😔😔
By the way, are the previous ones as good as the fifth? because I am loving it and would like more games like it 🤩 so I might try the older games too of they are just as good
9412568 I've played the Arena games and Persona Q, they're pretty good in my opinion.
They are barking mad
9414153
Who? The ponies, the humans or the Phantom Thieves?
...Or me?
9414748
All the above but mostly the ponies.
9414865
Tough...But fair 🤣🤣🤣
9414977
Had a thought while trying to sleep, will Joker go searching to find his friends which may have become ponies?
9419131
I can't give too many details ( for spoilers), but old confidants will make a cameo, along other characters.
I Will go into more details as the story progresses, have faith in me 🤣😉
9420797
I has much faith. Was just a thought that could be an interesting side story.
9420830
It Will happen, it will happen 😉
They will meet again 😊
Well, if you are having problem about AJ about her distortion, You could think about her forcing her truth on others? Something very narrow minded, that take as evidence only some parts of the whole?
9427309
Not bad! I was already convinced about the whole "She is blinding herself to Truth" I was suggested before, but now you also gave me the rest of the plan! I CAN USE BOTH!
WHAT ABOUT THI:
AJ is so afraid of admitting the Truth behind her actions and the reality of Conversion that she is maniacally focusing on forcing OTHERS to "Conform" to HER Truth, her personal version of things, no matter how very narrow minded and that take as evidence only some parts of the whole like you said!
She is so afraid of seeing the reality of things, and the consequences or her actions, that she tries to turn the lies she is telling to herself into the absolute truth! I like it!
About her monster form and Palace, I will be vague so to not give too many Spoilers, should I make "Blindness" a focal point of both? Blindness and "Lies"...What do you think?
The others were right, you people of the My Little pony fandom are the most helpful ones, I am honestly touched, Thank you
9427399
What the f*** start wirting you fool that is gold!!!
9427547
I have the slight suspicion that you like my idea...
🤣🤣🤣
9427553
What gave it away?
I feel this story is severly underrated cuz I am loving it so far and deserves more views and likes. keep up the great work!
my only complaint is that I dont think you need to have their names next to thier phantom names. Anyone reading this will know who they are (and if they dont, why are you here? go play the game or watch a playthough).
also flutters shadow monster image: HOLY SWEET NIGHTMARE FUEL!
also noticed some pics posted in past chapters (dont know if you fixed them) as well in this one appear broken for me. might want to look into that.
9427563
Just a Lucky guess 🤣🤣🤣
9427631
Thank you for your kind words 😊
I gave a look both with my Phone and my PC and the pictures appear normally, I don't know if this depends on the fact that I am the one that published the story...Somebody can check, please? 🤔
As for the names added next to the codenames, I have been doing this for 4 chapters already, I think I can finally stop 😂🤣 I hated it too, by now even people that have not played the game should have learned 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you again for the review.😊😊😊
9427707
In response to your question at the start of the new chapter, I believed, either because it may have been stated in the game, or because of someone else's idea, that they used vents to go between safe rooms.
