3Now it is time to explore the characters back stories. Well, one character in particular.
Kurai Dakū was sitting on her bed, poundering things as usual. But this time, she was thinking of none other than that one event in particular that changed her life...well, the second event in particular that changed her life.
That mysterious hour. Those terrifying monsters that attack during that time period. The tall, fearsome tower that rise to the sky. That blue haired boy I saw by Iwatodai Station. He...was awake. During that hour. How could it be?
I jumped off my bed, knowing it was close to that time. I would explore the tower. I would learn more about those monsters. I wonder...does anyone else know about it? What if I wouldn't be alone tonight?

Akihiko was staring at his watch, getting impatient. "Come on, already!" He muttered under his breath in anger.
Finally, the school transformed into the gruesome tower known as Tartarus, the Shadows' Nest.
Kurai watched them from afar as they entered the tower. She slowly stalked in the shadows. Once she finally reached the entrance she hid behind one of the few pillars, eavesdropping on their conversation. "Arisato will be appointed the field leader." She heard a boy's voice say. His voice was serious yet calm at the same time.
"Why does he get to be the leader?" Another boy blurted, him sounding quite annoyed at the fact that he wasn't chosen as the leader.
"Well, do you know how to summon a Persona like he does?" Asked a mature female voice.
"Uh, well, I can...ugh, nevermind!" Said a girlish voice.
"What about you, Senpai?" Asked a calm male voice.
The mature sounding girl sighed before saying, "I will be providing support from the outside. I am still technically the leader, but you, Arisato, are the field leader."
I peeked and saw a blue haired boy nod. "Understood." He said. Wait...that was him. That was the blue haired boy from the other night.
"What about Sanada-san?" Asked the brunette.
"Since Akihiko is not in fighting condition, he will being staying with me out here." The redhead stated. "So, are you read to venture into Tartarus? Myself, Takeba, and Sanada-san have only seen parts of Tartarus, so it is up to you to figure out the rest."
The team of three nodded.

The two teenagers were distracted and I took it as a chance to move closer.
"Mitsuru, do you think they can do it?" Asked the silverette.
The redhead took off her earpiece. "I have faith in them. I believe they can explore the first floor if Tartarus without dying or having to retreat." She put the earpiece back on.
So that silver haired guy was Akihiko Sanada, the redhead was Mitsuru, and the bluenette was Arisato-san. Then that brunette must have been Takeba. But who was the boy with the baseball cap?
"There is a Shadow coming your way. Prepare for battle!" Mitsuru warned.

"Agi!" I yelled, summoning my Personal to fire another Agi at the three Mayas.
After one of them fell over, Yukari rushed in and attacked the second one. That one, however, retaliated with Ziodyne, which was quite the shocking experience for us all. We eventually got them all knocked over and went for an all out attack. We panted and Junpei cursed at the Shadows under his breath.
"That was great job. There is another Shadow around that corner." Said Mitsuru.
"G-Got it..." I managed to get out. The Shadow did in fact come around that corner. It was another fucking Maya. Four, actually. We got into battle mode again. "Hey, look, I'm the only one here with a working Persona of us three. Could you guys at least try to summon your Personas?" Yukari glared at me.
But when the Shadow attacked, she actually reached for her evolker...then pulled her hand away to reveal she was holding nothing, and had a depressed look on her face.
"Orpheus!" I said, summoning the master of strings to the battlefield.
The Maya I attacked, however, seemed to be fire resistant. Well that's just wonderful.
"Shit..." I cursed under breath. "Guys, we have a problem."
"Yeah, no shit!" Exclaimed Junpei.
Yukari fired an arrow at it but to no avail. "Just summon your Persona already!" I yelled at her. She actually pulled out her evolker this time, prepared to shoot herself with it to summon her Persona, Io. She pointed it to her head but didn't shoot, stalling time. "Now, dammit!"
She shut her eyes and pulled the trigger. Behind her a powerful being was summoned, and it killed the Shadow without breaking a sweat. We finally won our first — well, not for me, of course — shadow battle.
"That was good. Now come on back."
So yeah...that's how that went.
