Opening Scene

[Some chick necks herself and other stuff happens but its mostly just the chick]
*The opening to the game, takes place on new years eve*

>The scene opens on a pair of young men walking over a small bridge, as one is leaned onto the railing of the bridge

Guy1: Oy what the hell are ya doing man?! We're gonna miss the fireworks!

Guy2: Chill out man! I thought I saw somethin' movin over there so I wanted to check it out

Guy1: Th'hell's wrong with you man?! Don't go checkin' shit like that out!

Guy1: What if it's a serial killer or somethin?!

Guy2: Dude you've seriously gotta tone it down with those dark ass delusions of yours. It's probably just a possum or some stray.

>The curious young man leaned forward and peeked under the bridge

Guy1: Whatever, I ain't stickin' around so you can jerk it under the bridge or somethin' so I'm going ahead.

>The first man turned his back and just as he did, his friend was pulled under the bridge without a sound

Guy1: Just get to the bar when you're done aight? It ain't gonna be any fun drinkin' alone on new years.

>no response

Guy1: Oy! Did'ja hear me?! I said-

>He turned around to see not his friend, but a grotesque monster which quickly lashed out at him, as  the scene cuts to black

>The next scene slowly fades in, as it focuses on a young girl sitting on the rooftop of an apartment complex

>She sits on the roof as she stares at the single message on her phone

		##Mom# Happy New Years my sweet little girl! I'm busy with work but I'll be sure to call you in a few weeks. Be good:))))!##

>The rest of her inbox is empty and she looks up from her phone at the town below her, and the people celebrating in the streets

>even from where she is, the cheers of partyers from the center of town can be heard, along with their count down

Five!

>the young girl slid her phone into her pocket and began to stand up

Four!

>Once upright, she took off her shoes and left them in the spot she was sat in

Three!

>She stared off and took in the lights of her town, the town where she had lived for so long

Two!

>Tears began to fall from her face as she stepped over the railing of the roof

One!

>And then, she stepped forward

>A boisterous "Happy New Year!" Could be heard as her body fell from the rooftop, and the scene cut to black once more

>The scene remains blacked out, until a sudden yell can be heard

Feminine Voice: It's attack is coming! Hurry up and dodge!

>The scene suddenly flashes in as a massive beast resembling a wasp strikes the ground with it's staff, and a group of armored humans roll in different directions

Feminine Voice: Is everyone okay?! That attack really weakened the buildings structure so be caref-

>Before the mysterious voice could finish its sentence the ground began to shake as rubble fell from the ceiling

Feminine Voice: Everyone watch out!

>The rubble fell, and as it did, separated the group of armored people from the monster, and each other

>After the dust from the rubble clears, the focus is shifted to a single armored warrior, clad in white armor wearing a billowing cape

Feminine voice: Ca######hear#######Fool!#####

>The voice suddenly cut off and the armored warrior was left alone in the rubble

>que movement tutorial through the rubble

>after some walking the voice suddenly returns

Feminine Voice: Can anyone hear me?! Someone please respond!

	>I'm here Priest!

	>Priest this is Fool, are you okay?

	>Is everyone okay?!

Feminine Voice: Fool! Are you alright?!

Young Man's Voice: Priest can you hear me?!

Priest: Mag! Is anyone else there?!

Kind Voice: This is Empress, I'm alright!

Intimidating Voice: Emperor here.

Girl's Voice: Star here, I got separated from everyone else but I'm alright.

Older Boy's voice: Yo it's Chariot! That big'ass bee got me good but I'm still goin'!

Stange Voice: Then everyone is accounted for.

Priest: Yuri! Where is everyone?! Can any of you rendezvous with each other?!

Star: God I can't see a damn thing here- I don't think I'm gonna be able to find my way out of here that easily.

Mag: Same here, I've got no clue where I am.

Star: No one asked you Mag.

Mag: She just did Star! God why do you have to be like this.

Star: Hah?! What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

Mag: You know what it means you stupid Kogal.

Priest: Everyone! I'm stransmitting a map of the area to you all! Can you see it?

>A map suddenly popped up in the corner of the screen, giving a more clear view of the area

Priest: I marked my location on all of your maps, can everyone meet up here?

Chariot: On it!

Empress: I'll try to regroup with the others before I get there!

Emperor: It would seem that there are shadows converging on our immediate area.

Yuri: He's right, everyone stay on your toes!

>The transmission cut off and the player is given control again

>while the player continues to wander

Chariot: Th'hell was that thing anyways? We've never seen a shadow like that before have we?

Yuri: It just means that we're getting into the big leagues now, so everyone needs to be giving a hundred percent at all times.

Emperor: I feel that putting too much effort into this may result in soreness following our expeditions, perhaps eighty five percent would suffice?

Yuri: Ugh, it's a figure of speech you dope.

Emperor: Excuse me?

Empress: S-She didn't mean anything by it Emperor! Just one of her little jokes, right Yuri?

Yuri: Sure sure, nothing at all.

Empress: Yuri!

Mag: Someone's getting their wings stapled together back at base.

Yuri: Zip it.

>after reaching a certain point, the player is stopped when a shadow forms in front of them

Priest: Fool watch out!

					BATTLE STARTO!

>The player is thrown into an arena with the shadow, as both of them are prepared to fight

Priest: Be careful Fool! Even if it's you there's no one to back you up there!

Priest: It's attacking, watch out!

>the shadow hits the playing greatly reducing their hp

Priest: Oh no! Were you already hurt from the last shadow? Hurry up and use a healing item!

>que tutorial for using items and their functions

>the shadow attacks again, but the players health is only taken down a bit this time

Priest: Good, now use this chance to attack!

>que tutorial for melee attacks

Priest: It's still going?!

Priest: Oh! Fool I finished my analysis of the shadow!

Priest: It's weak to fire, you can use your persona for that so hurry up and finish it off!

>que tutorial on persona attacks

>shadow is dead

Priest: Nice work! Now hurry up and get to the others!

>as the player continues

Mag: What was that static just now? Did something happen?!

Priest: Fool had a run in with a shadow, everyone please be careful!

Mag: What?! Are you alright Fool?!

Priest: He's fine, but everyone should still be careful. If a shadow attacks you won't have anyone else to back you up, so run if you need to!

Chariot: I ain't worried about none o' that! If a shadow tries to mess with me I'll wreck it!

Star: Aren't you so big and stong Chariot, Can I have you carry my bags the next time I go shopping?

Chariot: Bags?! I could carry a car if ya wanted me to Star! You askin' me out on a date though?

Star: Pff, muscle head.

>after the player progresses a bit further

Priest: Hold on Fool!

>the player is stopped and focus is shifted ahead to where a shadow goon is wandering back and forth

Priest: It doesn't look like that shadow's noticed you yet, try to use this chance to get the jump on it.

>que tutorial for sneak attacks

>In combat

Priest: Alright Fool, finish this quick with your persona so you can rendezvous with the others

>fire attacks are blocked

Priest: It's resistant to fire?! We'll never get through this with just melee attacks!

Priest: Fool, hurry up and switch personas, it's weakness is ice!

>que persona switching tutorial

>shadow is dead

Priest: Nice work! The rendezvous point is just up ahead so try to blow through any more of the shadows and meet with the others

>the rest of the area has a few scattered shadows to either be fought or avoided

>when the player finally reaches the rendezvous point the area is empty and fool looks around for a bit before spotting a small human in armor kneeling next to an old radio

	>Priest! Over here!

	>Priest, are you okay?!

	>Priest?

Priest: Ah! Fool!

Priest: Thank goodness you're alright!

>as she began to run over the ground suddenly shakes and the massive shadow from the start crashed through a nearby wall

Priest: Ahhh!

Beelzebub: *Heavy breathing and screeching*

Mag: Priest! Are you okay?!

>From one of the nearby corridors, Mag appeared alongside Empress

Empress: That shadow is-!

Star: What happened?!

>Star came from another one of the corridors and quickly realized the gravity of the situation

Star: Oh shit!

>the shadow spit out a green slick at fool and impaired his vision, preventing the player from being able to fully see the other riders

Mag: Fool!

>Mag rushed to fool's side as the four of them prepared for battle while priest pulled back

			BOSSU BATTORU!

Priest: Everyone please be careful! That's an incredibly strong shadow!

Empress: Everyone, keep Priest safe!

Mag: Fool! Are you good to fight

>A nod of affirmation came from fool

Star: Guess it's just the four of us against this thing huh?!

Priest: I don't see any clear weaknesses so you'll have to beat it with brute force!

Mag: Hmpf, no problem!

>que boss fight

>at 15% health

			CRITICAL STURAIKU!

Priest: Ah! This is your chance! Hit it with an All Out Attack!

Mag: Right! Let's finish this thing off, Fool!

Fool: Got it!

>que cool all out attack with the riders

>cool ass end card with fool and some cool shit like "The laws have turned in my favor"

>after the battle

Star: Haaah...

Empress: Did... we beat it?

Mag: I-I think so...

Priest: I'm not getting any more hostile signals. I think we're in the clear!

Star: Ghyaaa~ Who would have thought some pencil pusher's request would be this hard...

Mag: Hey Fool, are you good?

Fool: I...

>Fool's vision became blurry, and in just a moment, he blacked out

Everyone: Fool!

>the rest of the scene was mostly black, however a few blurred glimpses could be seen of a strange ritual, and an even stranger creature conducting them

>When the scene fades back in, the player is surrounded by a group of teens, though the image is still blurry

Empress: Ah! Everyone, he's awake!

>the teens rushed to his side and knelt beside the player

Mag: Fool! Are you okay?!

Star: Move it creepo! Fool, how many fingers am I holding up?

Mag: Who're you calling a creepo you wannabe idol!

Chariot: Both of ya shut'it!

Chariot: Can you stand dude?

Emperor: I'm fairly certain he'll be fine. If he wasn't going to be he'd have likely already died.

Priest: Don't say things like that Nobori-san

Nobori?: I wouldn't say it if it weren't true.

Mag: C'mon let's get you up fool.

>The group worked together to pull fool to his feet and backed away from him, allowing his body to straighten itself out

Mag: Hah, thank god you're okay...

Mag: Yamato.

Yamato: Y-yea, sorry for worrying you all.

Priest: Mag! The code names!

Mag: hah? But you just called Emperor Nobori a second ago Mo-

Priest: Stoooooop!

Priest: We use those names for a reason! Don't just decide to stop whenever you feel like it!

Mag: Okay, okay I got it!

Yuri: Well, as long as Yamato is okay, then I think we can call this mission a complete success.

>sighs of relief could be heard all around, until one particular voice piped up

Chariot: Sooooo...

Chariot: That means we aughta celebrate yea?!

Yuri: Hah? Why would we celebrate for this, it was the same as any other mission.

Chariot: Yea but it's new years eve right now!

Chariot: We still got like thirty minutes til it hits midnight so we aughta party in the town!

Yuri: Ugh.

Chariot: C'mon, c'mon, who's goin'a party with me?

Chariot: Hazzabout you Nobori? You up for some grindin' in the club?

Nobori?: I have work to do for my father, besides, I've no interest in whatever clubs you frequent.

Chariot: Laaame. What about you Kinji? You up for pickin up some chicks?!

Kinji?: I-I'll pass, I'm not really in the mood right now.

Chariot: Whaaat?! Then girls-

Priest&Star&Empress: No.

Chariot: Hgh!

>chariot fell to his knees and turned to face yamato

Chariot: Yamato, you'll go with me yea? You an' me can-

Yamato: I wanted to spend tonight at home actually, and I think I could use some sleep. Sorry.

Chariot: Why...

>chariot's gaze fell to the ground as his comrades turned their eyes away from him

Star: I guess that does it for tonight huh?

Priest: Yea, everyone get home safe okay?

Kinji?: Hey Yamato, do you need any help getting home? If you're not feeling okay I can help.

Yamato: Thanks Kinji, but I'm alright. I'll see you all tomorrow.

Kinji?: Alright, stay safe Yamato.

Priest: Don't hurt yourself on the way home Fool!

Empress: Be sure to get plenty of rest Yamato!

Star: Be sure to eat well when you get home!

Emperor: Do try not to fall prey to anything on your way back alright?

Chariot: S-See you dude...

Yuri: Hey! Don't forget about our meeting tomorrow!

Yamato: Right, Happy New Years everyone.

Everyone: Happy New Years!

>The scene cut and soon returned to yamato as he walked home while looking over his phone messages

>texts from all the people he knew wishing him a happy new years as well as a few voicemails

Yamato: *sigh* I hope I can respond to all of these before I go to bed...

>he rubbed his eyes a bit to wipe away the remains of the shadows spit

>He soon neared his apartment building, and just as he finished wiping his eyes, was treated to a strange sight

Yamato: What...

>stood on the top of his apartment complex was a girl, around the same age as him, standing on the outer rim of the rooftops railing

Yamato: Hey! What are you-!

>before he could finish, the girl threw herself from the rooftop, as yamato stood in shock for all of a fraction of a second before dashing forward

Yamato: Ah!

>he rushed down the street to where she was falling, but before he arrived yamato witnessed her body fall far enough to hit the ground

>he still ran with all his speed to where she fell and just as he turned the corner to where she would have landed...

Yamato: Hey! Are you-!

>upon turning the corner, yamato did not find a body, or a mess of organs splattered across the ground

>instead, where the girl's body should have been there was nothing, an empty space on the ground occupied only by the light from the nearby streetlamps

Yamato: What...

>as yamato stared at the ground where a body should have laid, a small blue butterfly flew around him, and into the camera

>cue title card bitches
