In the past

When she was little, yukiko was sitting on the stairs, holding a puppy in her arms while sitting in the rain, two people the appeared behind her, one holding an umbrella " what's that?" She turned to see chie and iyumi " a puppy!" Iyumi gasped smiling " he's cute! Is that guy yours?" Chie asked, yukiko looked down " I found him...but my parents said he can't stay..." she says sadly " he has to go...and now..." she clenches him " he's gonna be all alone again.." tears build up in her eyes " hey!"

" huh?" She turns back to see chie doing a funny face, iyumi trying to contain her laughter, yukiko started laughing and iyumi couldn't take it anymore and started laughing too " I'm chie, this is iyumi" chie says

" what's your name?" Iyumi asked, she gets up, still holding the puppy " hi there, I'm yukiko"

" okay, we're friends now!" Chie lends her hand out and pets puppy " same goes for you little guy!"

Back to the present

Yu and Yusuke sat in class "you saw it right?" Yusuke asks " yeah, I did" Yu replies, just then chie and iyumi rush in, looking around " chie, iyumi, what's going on?" Yusuke asks " have you seen yukiko?" Chie asks " we can't find her..." iyumi says" uh uh" Yusuke shakes his head " sorry, she hasn't shone up yet"

"Man...what do we do.."chie says worried

"What's the matter?" Yu asked

" we were watching the midnight channel last night-" chie began

" yeah, we were actually just talking about it too" Yusuke says, iyumi rubs her arm " well...me and chie...think we saw yukiko on the screen"

The other two looked shocked "she had on this kimono, and I've seen her wear it before, she had it on during that interview" chie explains"Both of us have sent her a bunch of text, but she hasn't responded"

"have you tried calling?" Yu asked " it goes straight to voice mail..." iyumi says" do you think..." Yusuke began, only to be cut off by chie "don't go there!" He flinched which also caught the classes attention " sorry...she's okay, she's probably just super busy right now" she smiles sheepishly " or maybe she's gone and lost her cellphone or something"

" well do you think she could be helping her family out around the inn?" Yu questions, the two then realise he could be right " yeah! Maybe, that makes total sense! We'll swing by and check!" The two were about to leave " your going there right now? Schools about to start!" Yusuke says, just then Her phone starts ringing

" yeah?" She then gasps happily " yukiko!" Chie cheered while the other three looked relieved " thank god! Your okay!" She starts listening to what she said " yeah? Okay I see! Nah, we're fine, don't worry about it, I'll text you later okay?" She ends the call " everything's okay, she's just been busy at the inn cause a huge group showed up without giving a reservation" she says

" so if that wasn't yukiko..."Yusuke trailed off " who was that on the midnight channel." Yu finishes, the bell then goes off for class

Time skip

They start walking down the stairs, chie looking through the notes she made for yukiko " what's that?" Yu asked " woah! Your hand handwriting really sucks" he said, which she kicks him in the stomach, painfully " I took a few notes for yukiko" she says, the. Starts walking to the doors " they look great..." Yusuke says before he collapsed on his knees and falls " well, gotta go" Yu says walking past him, he then noticed the basket ball poster

" oh hey, your the transfer student?" He turned to see two guys

" yeah, that's right" narukami says

" you play much basket ball?" The blue haired one asked " no, not really"

"Yo! Let's go! Cmon" chie waved, iyumi wasn't paying attention, but was looking through the notes chie made for Yukiko, looking to see if she forgot, not noticing the look iyumi was getting from the blue haired guy, Who was blushing  a little while looking at her " see ya" Narukami said to the guy, Yusuke finally recovering and getting up " tough luck ichijo" he patted his shoulder, referring to the girl,  and walked pass " well let me know if you change your mind noob, we're here. Even bumbling sophomores are welcome" he called out to narukami

At junes

Yusuke was looking around, keeping watch while they chie also looked around " aw man, it's crowded here today" she says, Yusuke backing up to them " hey, try and stick your hand in there and get teddies attention" he said to Yu, who does stick his hand in there, and retracts when something bit his hand " dude! What just happened?" Yusuke exclaimed " something bit me" Yu says " woah! And it left teeth marks too! Are you okay?" Chie aksed " I might be dying" he said which they deadpanned " no your not..." iyumi says

" is that chie and iyumi I hear? What's up? Is this some sort of new game?" They hear teddy voice from the tv

" teddy, does it seem like anyone is there with you right now?" Yusuke asks

" who's anyone?  Of course not, I'm all by my bearsome, you could say I'm a beary lonesome boy!" He says

" I get it" chie says scaring him " are you sure no ones there with only?" She asks

" no no! I'm not telling tales! My Snout is working most bearific today!" Teddy says

" okay, no one is over there, but yesterday we saw someone's face on the midnight channel, what's up with that?" Iyumi questions

" I say tonight, we check it out again" Yu says seriousness in his voice

Time skip

Iyumi turned her tv on and waited for the midnightM Suddenly the T.V turns on and shows what appears to be Yukiko puckering her lips "*Smooch* Smooch* *Smooch* Hmmm?"  Iyumi stared in disbelief at what was on the screen "Why hello there!" Yukiko said enthusiastically "Huh?" Iyumi questioned

"My name is Yukiko Amagi and today I'm gonna hunt me down a stud muffin!" Yukiko said doing a gun shot motion on the screen "Are you ready? come on saddle up and rain in your stud, it's princess Yukiko's hunt for Prince Charming!" Yukiko said and motions to what looks like a title screen that said 'princess yukiko's hunt for her prince on a white horse'

"And I came prepared, My lace unmentionables are ready to go!" Referring to what's under the dress "and so is my...Heart." Yukiko smiled doing a heart shape with her hands 'What....am I...what am I watching?....' iyumi said in her head while sweating a lot. 

"You see I'm out to tame me a whole pack of the best studs there are" she giggled " well time to go!" Yukiko said running to the gateway or entrance of what looked like a castle

Chie ran to the inn and talked with her mom, Yukiko had vanished, which she gasped

Next day

Yu walks into the living room to find nanako watching tv "oh morning" she greeted " good morning" he greeted, he noticed her dad wasn't there " where's your dad?" He asked " he left already, said he back late" she said, she then noticed his attire " you going out?"

"Uh, yeah I am, but Just hanging out with my friends" he said "don't worry about me, I can hold down the fort" she said turning back to the tv

She changes the channels and it tells the weather, she then turned it off " it's gonna be sunny, I should probably go dry the laundry" she said getting up " go have some fun" she said to him smiling " uh, okay thanks..."

Time skip

He sits outside junes at a table, making origami swans and placing them down " hey narukami!" He turned to see Yusuke running to him, with something behind his back " hey hey" he greeted, coming to a halt " what kept you?" Yu asked " I found something cool" he leaned forward " right in my back yard!"

He shows us some swords " check these boys out!"

"Yosuke...are those"

"Relax their just fakes. Go on pick your poison." He said swinging them " pick my what?" Yu questions

"Then again I'd be a badass with both. " he said picking the fake blade, sadly, a cop saw them "I just came across two suspicious teenage boys wielding a couple of swords" he said on his wakietalkie"H-hey officer.." Yusuke says then Gasped when he pulls his hands behind his back " you're coming with me kid!"

" wait! wait! wait! This isn't what it looks like! We weren't doing nothing, we're just messing around! My buddy and me and huge sword fans!" He chuckled nervously

" speak for yourself". Yu said " there's the delinquent!" Three more ran to them, making Yusuke and Yu sighs

Meanwhile

Iyumi and chie were walking around looking for the guys, they hear whistles and moved through the crowd " scuse us"Chie says

They gals when they see narukami and Yusuke being arrested and pushed into the car " what the!-" chie starts running after them, along with iyumi " hold on!"

" Yusuke! Narukami!" Iyumi yelled " what the heck just happened?..." The two stop and watch it drive to the station

" yukiko..." the two mumble worried

At the station

"Damn it what we're you guys thinking, don't go around stirring up trouble" adachi scolded escorting the two out "If you weren't dojima's nephew, trust me, you and your friend wouldn't be getting f outta here so easy" he said to Yu " I'm sorry this happened..." Yu said

" Yusuke" they looked and saw chie and iyumi " hey what are you two doing here?" Yusuke asked " it's yukiko..." iyumi worried "What's wrong?" Narukami asked " she's gone missing!" Chie exclaimed while they looked shocked " what?..."

"She is?..." Yusuke said

"She was definitely home last night, I checked, but since then, nobody's seen her at all, I asked around everywhere!" Chie exclaimed

" we already know about this, yukiko's family has asked us to start looking for her" adachi said, trying to calm her down "Uh, she your friend?" He asked " can you remember something unusual lately" they look at him confused as he looks though a little book " did she seem bothered by anything?"

" like what?" Yusuke asked

" the murder at the inn, that's where ms yamano was staying before incident, seems yamano was such a high maintenance guest that yukiko's mom collapsed from the stress of keeping her happy" he said " so there's that" iyumi wondered why he was smiling, she didn't like it, He checks their surroundings before saying something they didn't like " see some of the guys have a theory, rumour here is, Yukiko's hiding out cause she did something to get back at miss yamano to avenge her mother-" chie cut him off " oh come on! You think yukiko is the murderer?!" Iyumi exclaimed

" woah! Relax, it's just a theory floating around" adachi put his hands up in defence "Well it's lame!" Chie yelled, looking like she was gonna attack him if Narukami hadn't grabbed her " chie!"

"Calm down!" Iyumi and Yusuke hold her back " look I'm not saying she actually did it"adachi exclaimed " hey! What's going here!" Dojima appeared, along with other cops 

" let's go" Yu said "yeah come on chie" they let go of her " yukiko.." tears build up in her eyes " she would never..." iyumi comforted her, and dojima noticed someone had said something that caused her to be upset " what did you tell her?" He glanced at adachi " eh...I just..nothing.."

" i don't know which cops are saying yukiko is the murder, but I'll clear it up here, it's definitely not yukiko!" Iyumi glared furious " she walked with chie straight to school and met up with me, we went straight to the class and had been there all day, especially when we got the announcement to be careful on our way home! And about ms yamano!" She stated " if you won't take my word for it, check with the school!" She glared

Which dojima understood why chie was upset now " I'm sorry...it won't happen again..." he apologise

The four walked out, she turned to the other three " Listen guys, we've gotta save her"

Time skip

The met up with teddy and were standing outside the place yukiko stood outside off when she was on the channel last night

"Did we see this place on the midnight channel last night?" She asks remembering "I think you might wanna wait out here Chie." Narukami said.  "Nope, I'm going in there!" Chie exclaimed.  "Once her mind's set there's no changing it.." Yusuke said .  "Teddie are you sure Yukiko's in there?" Iyumi asks. 

"There is no doubt about it, I can even snout has even locked on to her sent." Teddie says determined.  Then all of the sudden Chie runs and heads inside the castle.  "H-Hey wait Chie!" Iyumi shout to her but she already went in " dont go running of on your own!" Yusuke yelled

"Damn it." He curse and the others run after her, making teddie panic "ahh! Don't leave my beary bear behind!" Chie runs through the halls, in search for yukiko ' yukiko...where are you?...' she couldn't see the shadows appear behind her and the guys stop "She doesn't even see it, she's blind without her own pair of glasses" Yusuke remarked

"What do you say guys?" Yu asks.  "Bring it!" Iyumi said doing a small fist pump "Yeah let's do this!" Yosuke smirked.

They summon their cards " persona!" Yu shouts crushing his card, izanagi appears behind him " bring it on! Persona!" Yusuke kicks his and the blue light forms and his appears to, as for iyumi " let's go!" she slams her hammer on it and Medusa forms, When the shadows were about to come near Medusa intervenes and bashes their heads in with the rocks surrounding her arms

and Izanagi slices the other ones. 

" nicely down sensei! Awesome iyumi!" Teddy cheered

"Jiraiya!" Yosuke shouts

Jiraiya uses a Garu spell but the shadows dodge it and the shadows attack him, but he manages to dodge their attacks, When the shadows were about to come near us Medusa intervenes and punches them to dust  and Izanagi slices the other ones "Yosuke you still have much to learn." Teddie said shrugging "aw man all I ever get is crap from you!" Yosuke yelled, iyumi couldn't help but giggle at them.  "Let's go!" Yu shouts and runs ahead while we catch up.

With chie

She starts coming across two double doors ' Yukiko...I'm coming!' She pushes them both opened and once she looks inside

"Huh?..."

A bedroom, and a birds cage was hanging by her window " this is...yukiko's room..."

"...I look good in red..."

She gasped when she heard her voice " yukiko?..."

"My name means snow child...and I hate it...snow is cold...and it's never here for long...it's fleeting and completely useless...I guess...it fits me perfectly"

" yukiko! It's me! Where are you-" chie is cut off

" onside on inheriting the inn someday..."

"Answer me!"

"I have absolutely no value..."

" yukiko!" Soon the voice says something chie didn't expect " but still, chie and iyumi said, yukiko, red looks good on you" Some of the furniture in the room turned red, even the cage " they're were the only ones who gave my life meaning..." Something on the ground was walking to her, which seemed like a wind up doll "their so strong...they can do anything..." It was a Santa Wind up toy " they have everything I lack..." it then stopped " you see, compared to chie and iyumi...I'm just...chie and iyumi will always protect me..." she looks down in horror " I maybe worthless....but their nice...they'll look after me..."

" yukiko...I never.."

" Nice chie huh?" Someone says " that's hysterical!" She looked and her eyes widened at who was In front of her....It was another chie! "Wha...what the!...that's me!" She Exclaimed while the shadow smiled " who the...hell are you?" She asked " chie satanaka of course" she smirked " just cut the crap! I'm chie satanaka-" the real chie was cut off " and I'm chie satanaka too" the other replied "no way...this is totally nuts!" Chie stared in shock

"Hehe...yukiko...did you hear what she said?" The shadow says " she actually thinks that I'm protecting her, she also thinks that she's absolutely worthless, you gotta love that!" The shadow chie smirks

" what are you talking about?!" Chie questioned

" yukiko's and iyumi are hot, sweet and her skin is like totally perfect, guys can't leave either of them alone, they love them, but when I just heard yukiko was actually jealous of us!" She starts laughing " man did I get a chork outta that!" Chie couldn't believe what she was hearing " you see truth is, if I wasn't around , yukiko couldn't do anything, she's nothing without me, cause I am the one...who is truly top dog around here!" She yells out

" shut up!" Chie yells at her "that's not how I feel! Your a liar!"

The others finally arrived "Hey Chie are you alright?" Iyumi shout to her.  "Hey that's--" Narukami said but was cut off by Chie.  "No! Just stay there! don't come near me! It's lies! It's lies! No! It's all lies!" Chie shouts while shaking and holding her head stammering in fear "Your not safe!" Iyumi shouts "That idiot." Yusuke said as they run up to her but was stopped by a bunch of shadows surrounding them, teddie yelps and hides somewhere  "Damn it there's too many of them!" Yusuke said As the personas stand back to back

Chie suddenly falls to her knees and looks down to the ground. 

"No...your wrong...." 

"Are you really going to continue to ignore me, pretend that I don't exist?" Other Chie asked mockingly. 

"Shut up! you aren't real! You aren't real!" Chie shouts  "No Chie you've got to be strong!" Iyumi shouts "She's a Liar! That isn't me!" Chie shouts. 

" No!!!" Iyumi yells in alarm

"Hahahaha!" The other Chie laugh maniacally and darkness covers her. 

"Damn it!...not again." Iyumi groans, the shadow grew large like the other persona including her shape"I am a shadow, of your true inner self!" The shadow Chie said transforming into a Shadow, Chie looks back and screams" bad bad bad!!!" Teddy panicked " chie!" Iyumi shouts "Medusa!" She shout as eye flies and attacks the Shadows, but Shadow Chie suddenly attacks and catches Medusa of guard, Yusuke managed to save chie before she got injured

" don't get in my way!" Shadow Chie shouts, but Medusa blocks her attack " so...your gonna annoy me more huh? Well then I better teach you a little lesson!" She hits Medusa in the stomach with her whip sending them both flying. 

"Iyumi!" Yu shouts and sends Izanagi out to back her up,  he catches her from the impact and looks down at her worried. "You Ok?" He asks,  "Yeah." She said and with that response he smiles his adorable smile and she blush looking away, he smiled at her!!!!!! Meanwhile in the battle Shadow Chie was about to attack Medusa and Izanagi while they were distracted with her whip when Jiraya intervenes and stops the attack,  But unfortunately the attack was too strong and it sent Jiraya and Yosuke flying.

  "Yosuke!" Iyumi and Yu shout.  "That's it nobody hurts my friend and gets away with it!" Iyumi shout and she run up to the Shadow Chie with her hammer, she stuck many shadows in her path towards her, But Suddenly she felt something grab her hands.  "Hey!" She shout struggling to get out, dropping her hammer in the process

Shadow Chie was using her hair to bind her wrist and then her ankles, making her stay, Medusa too was all wrapped up, in Shadow Chie's hair.  "Damn it!" She yelled struggling.  "Iyumi!" Yu, chie and Yosuke shout, the boys about to run to her aid,  But Shadows pop out again blocking them.  "Hahahaha!" She laughed as chie held her heart "Your still there? I wish you'd die already! I promise to treat Yukiko and iyumi very right...As my personal punching bags that is!" Shadow Chie said laughing maniacally. 

"Let them...be!" Chie said holding her chest.  "I'm the one who can't do anything on her own, I'm the one who's pathetic!" Shadow Chie mocked her  "But Yukiko, and iyumi! truly needs me, that's the only reason I keep her and iyumi around, that's why  their my friends, I can't lose them."  "That's...not what I think.." Chie says breaking down "Chie be smart don't let her trick you!" Yosuke grunted lifting himself up  " silences!" Suddenly Shadow Chie uses her hair and grabs Yosuke by the neck.  "Urgh!" Yosuke said struggling out of it's hold.  "Yosuke!" Chie shouts looking at Chie. 

"I'm not trying to trick her, these are my true colours, like it or not!" Shadow Chie said snapping her whip traping Chie in a dark dome. 

" chie!" She heard iyumi's Voice, Was the last thing she heard Before she was in the dome

"Yukiko and iyumi are so pretty...the boys go crazy over them..."

"This is me?..." chie asks in hope it wasn't true

" yes, those are the voices of all those feelings you have" shadow chie coed " the words you keep bottled up, deep down inside!"

"Without me around, yukiko can't do anything...if it weren't for me...she'd be nothing..."

"N-no!" Chie puts both hands on the sides of her head " NOOOOO!!!!!" She screams " is this...is this how I?...really feel?" Her head hangs low " oh no..."

"So what if it is true huh!?" She hears iyumi shout still being binded " who cares?!" Yusuke tells "You're still their friend, aren't you?" Yu questions, She remembered all those times they had together, from when they were kids, all the way to this point

"Yukiko..." Chie whisper. "Look, Your maybe right, but no matter what, you, me, and iyumi will always be friends." She smiled fondly, then looks up glaring "Listen you're a part of me and that's true." Chie said and the dark dome surrounding her vanished, looking at the shadow of her "You're a voice that I pretend that doesn't exist..." Chie says, "You're the pathetic part of me, but that's still a part of me, isn't that right." She gets back up

"That's it keep it going!" Yosuke said still struggling from the Shadow's hold. 'Atta girl keep going!' Iyumi cheer inside her head. "Uhhh." Shadow Chie grunts staggering while becoming weak. "Ugh cut the crap! are you seriously gonna acknowledge my prescence just gonna accept me!" Shadow Chie exclaimed and attacked Chie, but luckily Izanagi intervenes and gets hit instead sending him and Yu flying. "Narukami!" Chie shouts. "Alright that's it!" Yosuke shouts, But Shadow Chie only tightens her grip on Yosuke's neck " I'm gonna rip you to pieces!"

"Yosuke!" Iyumi and Chie shout. "Ohh oh no Oh no! Yosuke's a goner!" Teddie shouted worried.

" yosuke!" Yu shouts, He then remembered Margaretes voice "you have established new bond, and obtained a new arcana....you posses the power as the girl to wield multiple persona, it is the wild card, one of the chosen ones"

" chosen ones...okay" he mumbled

"Change!" Yu said holding his hand out to Izanagi, And Izanagi turns back into his Tarot card and the Tarot card changes into a Magician Arcana.

"Pyro Jack!" Yu shouts and crushes the Tarot Card, Pyro Jack appears, iyumi gasps " iyumi! Now!" He yelled "Right!" She nods " change!" She yells, Medusa is called back and the card changes to the sun arcana "Asura!"

"Gaahh!" Teddie wailed surprised "What? no fair they have two Personas!" Yosuke complained still in Shadow Chie's grasp.

"Asura! A little help here! Get us out!" She shout clearly impatient, Asura nods and summons a fire spell at the hair on her wrists and ankles turn into ash and so does the hair wrapped around Yosuke's neck, She looked and saw Pyro Jack freeing Jiraiya from Shadow Chie's hold. "Thanks." Yosuke said "No problem." She sighs

"Yosuke! Iyumi!" Yu shouts. "On it!" Yosuke said

"Alright!" She said, yosuke sends Jiraiya out and uses winds spells, While Asura and Pyro Jack use their fire skills and attack Shadow Chie, burning her "Ahhhhh!" Shadow Chie shouted and exploded, the smoke clears, reveals the shadow turned back into a regular sized Chie "It's True... Your Me.." Chie said and other Chie transformed into a Persona...turns into the Chariot Arcana Tarot card and slowly goes down onto Chie's hand. " *gasp* what's this?" Chie asks

"It's a Persona." Yu said.

"So this is my--" Chie said but was cut off. "That's right." Yosuke said smiling, in fact all of us were smiling and proud of her. "I have..A Persona." Chie said and the Tarot card entered Chie.

Back in the real world

Yusuke was working at junes while chie was sitting with Yu and iyumi " he looks kinda busy right now" Yu says " I'm so pathetic..." chie mumbles catching their attention " the next time it gets foggy over here, it's very possible yukiko could die..." tears start to build up " and I won't be able to do anything... useless"

" you are far from useless!" iyumi declares " she's right, if we have to go back there and save yukiko, then I know we'll need your help to do it" Narukami says, She smiles " thank you, and as a token of my thanks" she pulls out her phone " what is it?" Yu asked " a shot of my dog" She shows a picture, It had her with a big dog " he's a serious porker, and he stinks like nobody's business" She looks back at the picture " but if it wasnt for this guy, then me and iyumi wouldn't have met yukiko" she smiles fondly" he's the one who made our friendship possible"

" Yukiko...we'll save you" she says with determination
