Meta-Verse Mysteries

BLAM! BLAM!

“Wow, Senpai! Were those more Pixies?”

“They just won’t leave me alone today!”

I wiped my brow as Sumire giggled at my struggles. Honestly? It could be going a lot worse. Sticking to the top levels where everything was weak as shit meant this excursion was just casual shadow killing. My protege took point, though a bunch of shadows seemed to have eyes only for me, including the endless Pixies that were thankfully weak to gun. Still, it was good experience for the girl that didn’t do the Meta-Verse shiz very often, and I could just sit back and watch her work. Trying not to admire how her ass occasionally eats that leotard when she pulls off a particularly hard move.

“So, I think we’re at the point where I can bring up your sister without it being too weird.”

She froze up a little, “I-I guess… she’s really pretty, isn’t she?”

“Ahh~ That’s a trap! It will take more than that to pull one over the leader of Phantom Thieves!” I jokingly accused her, much to her visible confusion, “You’re identical twins! If I call her pretty, I’ll be calling you pretty by proxy! Sneaky, Violet. Sneaky indeed.”

While I comedically stroked my chin, Sumire couldn’t help giggling, “You’re silly sometimes, Senpai.” Her smile made me happy that I’d raised her mood a bit. “But… you’re probably wondering why I didn’t talk to you about her.”

“Yeah, that’s the main question I have. Though, 20% wondering if I should have taken the opportunity to call you pretty when I had the chance.”

I had been walking behind her, so seeing Sumire’s head snap around in surprise was quite entertaining. Dunno why I was feeling comfortable about teasing this girl. Maybe it was the confidence in having had sex with two women already, or just trying to throw her out of the slump felt important. Either way, having Sumire fight between a smile and a pout was super cute~

“S-Senpai~!” She whined, having to turn away from me and use her bright red gloves to slap her matching coloured face. “Y-you shouldn’t just go around… um, th-thank you. But, I-I don’t know if I deserve it…”

“Why not?”

“Kasumi is so much better than me at gymnastics. She’s the one going all the way to the Olympics, while I’m always getting second place or fumbling my routine in practices… heh, I can’t even cook as good as her…” The long sigh that escaped her mouth showed this weight of the issues plaguing her mind. Jealousy be a harsh mistress, and not one easily escaped once the roots burrow deep enough. I had no idea it was this bad though. “I’m starting to think that Cendrillon was meant for her too…”

“Ey, cut that out.” I reprimanded quickly, “Personas don’t work like that. It’s like, a reflection of you, your drive as a person, not some gift that can be passed around. You earned her, not your sister.”

She looked unfortunately unconvinced, clenching her arm as we walked over the tracks, “Thanks, Senpai…” The girl wistfully walked, and with subtext detectors at maximum, I think she really meant ‘thanks for trying but nothing’s going to throw me out of this funk’.

I wanted to try, but another dark blob began squelching towards us. Probably another Jack O’ Lantern, or a Bicorn again. Either way, good fodder for the sour Sumire.

“You got this one, Violet?”

She’d not even been looking, “Hm? Oh, s-sure.” She nodded, taking the step forward and watching as a mass escaped the dark puddle. This time it took the form of a Succubus, looking exactly like it said on the tin. A woman with short blonde hair, large bat wings, a devilish tail, and a skimpy black leotard that left little to the imagination.

I called out to my friend, “It’s weak to light! Show this thing what Cendrillon is made of!”

“Right! Come out, Persona!”

I blinked and my pants were being ripped off my lower half.

To back it up slightly, in the intervening milliseconds after the blue flame eruption occurred behind Sumire, I was happy. Then everything changed when Cendrillon attacked. Her long legs swept my ankles, making me topple onto the train tracks in painful confusion. I had no time to think about how or why before she descended upon me, placing her dark smirking face near mine while pulling hard at my clothed crotch.

Had her depression really gotten so bad that her Persona was acting out? She was saying she didn’t deserve her own power, and now that power was attacking me. These things often parallel our mental states, though the fact she was rubbing me to get me hard was alarming.

“Cendrillon! What are you doing?!”

“I think she just wants to have some fun~” Cooed a voice in Sumire’s ear, as she realised too late she shouldn’t have turned her back on the enemy, “Join us, won’t you?”

~MARIN KARIN~

“Violet?!” I yelped, only able to see the face of her Persona practically pressing her nose against me with her hand cupping my now straining underwear, “VIOLET?!”

“Shhh, don’t worry.” Cendrillon cooed in my ear, guiding me to look over to her owner, “We’ll all be together soon.”

Okay, this was the shit I was talking about when I thought the world had gone crazy.

Not only was this Persona talking to me, she seemed almost giddy in watching the Succubus’ energy overtake Sumire’s skull. Her eyes glazing over, irises glowing in neon pink, mouth agape while a blush grew on her cheeks. “Senpai…” She breathed out that word like it was the only truth in her heart. “Senpai… you called someone as worthless as me pretty…”

“Snap out of it, Sumire!”

The Succubus just smirked at me, still whispering in her ear, “Don’t you think he’s so handsome?”

“Ssssoooo handsome…” Her voice poured out her mouth.

“Oop! You both said you find each other attractive!” The blonde lady giggled, licking a lewdly long tongue against her captive’s cheek, “Looks like you need to suck that big penis of his now!”

It made her mouth drool instantly, and like a zombie, her movements were slow yet determined, “Yes… must suck Senpai…” I shouldn’t be excited by that, dammit! Grr, why’d she have to be slowly removing her clothes as she walked?!

“You are so kind to her,” added Cendrillon, “She will not regret this. You may have your way with all of us now, oh wondrous Fool.”

I clicked my tongue in defiance, “Me, the Fool? I’m not the one here weak to gun.”

BLAM!

It was quite the distance, but the Succubus had no time to react as I used my weapon’s final bullet to evaporate her in one shot. Thank god for weird kids in arcades. I could see the Marin Karin begin to fade from Sumire immediately, and quickly tore myself away from her Persona.

“Violet! Recall Cendrillon, NOW!”

She was blinking and dazed but had enough wherewithal to react, “H-huh? U-um, return!”

I breathed a little sigh of relief as the blue woman faded from view, though the smile on her face didn’t fill me with confidence. “We’ll meet again soon...”

And with that, we were alone again. Though our clothes were far more dishevelled, even mangled in my poor pants case. Thankfully they were always magically repaired when we returned to the Meta-Verse, but still, I was currently showing off a rather large bulge in my white underwear.

“What happened?” Sumire asked with a hand on her head, still dazed but coming back to me, “Why did Cendrillon attack you, Senpai?”

“As I was saying, weird things have been happening in the Meta-Verse.” I said, knowing it was probably time to get back to Kasumi. “You’re not hurt, right?”

“Yes, I’m fine. S-sorry about your, um, your…” She failed to say with a blush, instead just pointing at my exposed crotch. I was basically holding my pants up right now, using my red gloves to cover what little dignity I still had left.

I sighed, this had become quite the norm the last few days, “It’s fine. Let’s just start heading back, and let’s not summon our Personas.” She nodded, and we began to walk off. I was feeling confident we could take on these low level mooks with our blades, so it was just covering myself that was the problem.

The redhead I was with kept shooting glances down at where I was gripping. Only stopping when she noticed me noticing her. "U-um! I, uh, your... uhm... sorry, nevermind..." Her confidence got lost somewhere amongst the mumbles, but I wasn't really sure what she wanted, so I couldn't really press the witness for more answers. With a shrug, I ignored it.

“Well, not long before we make it back to your sister. Then we have to get through the exam I prepared." I explained, but she seemed a bit taken aback by the idea, "Right, forgot to mention I prepared some questions. Hmm, they get kinda weird, thinking back on it... I could just go over them now, just so you're not taken by surprise when we get there. That cool?”

She seemed pretty happy with the idea of cheating for the test, “Absolutely!”

“Good, now you don't have to answer any of these until we actually reach the real world, okay? As you've seen, reality has gotten weirdly... erotic, so these questions reflect that. This is just so you know what's coming.” I got out the piece of paper I had prepared, “Question 1: Are you feeling horny?”

She made a screeching noise behind a closed mouth as she struggled to hold back words, “Hmmm!”

Guilt rode up my spine as she probably felt super awkward. I was going to try and be as clinical as Tae was with me, this was all information I needed to identify the virus after all, but it still didn't make it any less weird for poor Yoshizawa, “Apologies, but these are the sort of things that happened to the other girls. The rest of the questions aren't much better... like, if you horny, where? Are you thinking dirty thoughts too? What kind of dirty thoughts?”

Her walk became even slower than when she was a zombie, “I... I'm thinking..."

“Again, you don't need to answer, so don't worry!” I explained quickly, not even turning back to witness her cringing at me as I continued down the list, “Question 5: What are your feelings towards me?”

“F-feelings?” She squeaked.

I nodded while thinking back to the four others in the Palace, “Yeah, I know it's weird, sorry. But if I don't get the full picture I'll never know the truth. There's more questions around this topic specifically. Like, are you aroused by me specifically? Are you feeling infatuated? Are you willing to fight others to be with me? Are you willing to share me with others?” I sighed as I heard Yoshizawa slow down. It was embarrassing, she was probably grossed out by the questions, and I felt silly even asking them. “Again, sorry. I probably shouldn't even bother with these next ones. A-are you feeling any intense need to masturbate to the idea of me? Or s-suck on my cock? Gah, maybe I am an idiot...”

“Senpai… Senpaaiiii…” Shit. She was really looking flustered now, I picked up the pace towards the exit so as not to **** the girl anymore. No need to make her think I'm a total perv.

“Okay, we're gonna go back to Kasumi now! The last question was just: Did you feel these feelings before you entered the Meta-Verse today? But that's silly! I'm starting to realise I'm a big douchebag for even writing these, hahahahaha! And, uh, if you don't wanna answer any of these then we can forget the whole q&a and you can run off with your sister... stupid...”

“...yes…”

“...hm?”

I blinked and my pants were being ripped off my lower half.

“SUMIRE?!” I yelped as she immediately pushed me to the ground and mounted my chest. Tight, dripping leotard against my body, practically burning me through our clothes from how hot the red head was churning for me.

“Senpai! I love you!” She declared loudly and proudly, grinding her slit against me as hard and as quick as she could, a violent hunger in her that I had no idea was there, “Please! I-I know I’m not Kasumi, but please make love to me! I need it!”

It was much harder to argue with her. This was all so complicated! Was she really infected with the Meta-Verse virus or maybe the lingering Marin Karin? Or was she just a horny depressed girl that wanted to jump my bones?! “Wait! Do you really want this?!”

“YES!” She yelled and launched her head downwards.

Our lips connected, her kiss so passionate and hungry to try every part of me. Even with our masks pressing against each other, she did not dare move back. The elegant eighteen year old had no instinct other than to just keep our heated breaths moulding together, as both my confusion and arousal grew.

After a brief makeout I loosely fought her grip, pushing her back from my mouth but she pushed her face into my neck to nibble it sensually, “B-but we’re still in the Meta-Verse! You wanna do it here?!”

“Here I am free, I am much more powerful. I am not Sumire, but Violet.” She spoke so sincerely, hands roaming my body so intensely, it was really, really, getting harder to resist her. Especially because it was getting to that time where my condition was flaring up again… “CENDRILLON!”

“Yipes!” I squeaked as the blue woman appeared again, though this time her body clad not in a glass dress, but in a black leotard similar to the one squirting on top of me.

Cendrillon looked happy, rubbing a dainty hand through her Master’s hair, “I told you I'd see you soon, Ren. Sit on his face, my Master. I shall prepare his thick cock for you.”

“Wai-MMF!”

My ‘say in this’ was officially removed when my mouth was covered in overly juiced pussy. Her moans of pleasure from just having her boiling cunt against my lips. Her smells of sweat from working out, her thighs pressing against my cheeks, that tangy taste that dripped into my mouth.

I was swept up in the moment and began licking. Using all the knowledge I’d been taught from last night, swirling my tongue around into her hole while grabbing the gymnast’s ass to keep her pressed against me, “SENPAI!” She gasped, red gloves in my hair while I slurped and suckled her harder. Riding my face while I bore my taster inside her sensitive folds.

My cock sprung free thanks to Cendrillon, while I couldn’t see her I could feel her cold hands rubbing my girth delicately yet firmly. Such smoothness, I could just imagine her blue digits wrapping around my dick as I messily made out with Sumire’s slit. The chillier nature of the Persona was a strange yet erotic contrast to the burning passion of her owner, especially when her glass like tongue began rubbing against my cockhead. It was like a ghost was blowing me as I made out with the sun.

“H-HOW ARE Y-YOU S–SOO GOOD?! S-SENPAAIII~!” Sumire whined and moaned, bucking her feelings against my face. Melting into my embrace as she struggled to keep her feelings in her leotard. “MMNNNN! LICK ME MORE PLEASEEE!”

It had been one hell of a lesson I guess. Thighs clenched on my ears, her cunt squirted in my mouth, and I could see the rippling effects of my licks cascade up her tight gymnast body. Her belly dancing to match my rapid attacks inside her, with her hand on her tit to maximise and maul her own pleasure.

Cendrillon moaned too, apparently enjoying my tastes. Could a Persona taste? Swallow cum? It was raising a bunch of questions I was too thigh trapped to think about. Instead I just focused on Sumire while my cock pulsed in the Persona's maw.

It wasn't long before my titilating tongue tipped the tender tumbler over the edge. Gripping my curls tightly as she buckled her body, “SENPAISENPAISENPPAAAIAIIII!!!” She screamed, the girl may have tried to get a warning out, but her beautiful body buckled before a beware bloomed. Falling back like a broken fire hydrant, splashing her juices against my face while falling onto my chest.

I finally got to see Cendrillon sucking my cock, still rubbing me up and down, but mostly looking like she was adding her saliva onto my skin as lubricant. All to prepare for Sumire to fuck me.

There was a big part of me that wanted that to happen, but as the redhead got up with hope in her eyes, I knew that this was wrong.

“Guys, please! Let's call a time out!"

"He is ready for you." Cendrillon purred, moving away from my penis. "I too wish to breed with him, once you are done."

Sumire had no qualms with that, ripping at her outfit to uncover her pussy completely, "Of course. We can share him together."

"Can you two stop?!”

“Yes.”

And she did.

They both did. They just… stopped.

Slowly I got to my feet, joining the stationary pair, “Sumire?” I asked, waving my hand in front of her eyes with no response from them. She was just frozen there, locked in place. “Y-you okay? You breathing?” I asked, hoping that whatever was happening wasn’t hurting her. Again, no answer. An eerie quiet taking over Mementos as I poked her face lightly, “It’s like she’s… frozen in time?”

Reality was really fucking with me now. Who would do such a thing?

And why did it happen… when I asked it to…?

…

…………..

“Ohhhhhh….” I said in sudden realisation. A lot of things weirdly clicking into place as I went back over the last few days. (All while tucking my dick back into my underwear. But, like, thoughtfully.) “It’s… it’s something I’m doing… I’m changing reality, somehow…”

“Well well well, he’s finally figured it out.”

My head snapped around, hearing a strange voice from the darkness. It felt like it had come from everywhere around me, yet nowhere at once. I spun around but no one was around me, up or down me.

“Who's there?!” I barked out, not appreciating these parlour tricks while having a boner. My tolerance for stupid drama has lowered dramatically after these last few days, “Come out!”

Suddenly a new voice, yet still echoing around me, “Do not be alarmed. We have met before, Ren Amamiya. In worlds far beyond this one.”

“Oh sister, you do know how to make things dramatic. You know the fool doesn’t even remember smashing the brothers, let alone the little cinema.”

I growled, feeling like I’d been met by the mastermind behind this all yet they were teasing me about it. Cinema? Smashing Brothers? This couldn't possibly be some Akechi plot, right? More than likely this was whoever Palace I was in finally making themselves known. “So this is where I finally find out. From an enemy shadow in the darkness?”

“GRAHHHHRGGHHHH!!”

Suddenly, bursting forth from the dark corners of Mementos, a massive beast lurched forwards. Face covered by a single cloth, a ghostly spectral form twisting in an unholy way towards me, with twin guns held loosely in his hands and chains grinding along each other. Fear clenched my heart as he drifted horrifyingly into view.

IS THAT THE GODDAMN REAPER?! SHIT! We spent too long on this floor! I should have brought Morgana or Futaba to help keep me aware of his presence, FUCK!

Run!

Wait! Can’t run! Sumire is frozen!

But there’s no way in hell I can beat him solo!

“Oh dear. He seems to make things worse for himself so easily.” The voice continued to tease.

“GAH! Shut up!” I yelled, trying to concentrate. Focus on Sumire, get her to safety. I think I had items that could help all status elements, but was her being frozen in time a status? Would a Thaw Stone work? Or a Recover Oil? DODGE!

PACKLOW!

Fucking Christ! I have to deter the Reaper first before I can focus on Yoshizawa. Whichever Persona I have equipped better do some massive fucking damage!

“I wouldn’t summon it if I were you.”

The voice seemed so sure of itself, it really did cause me to pause. Why wouldn’t I summon it? What is happen-?!

“RRRUUUUUUAAARGGHHHH!!!!”

I could have dodged the Reaper more, but seeing him aim for my frozen friend made me jump in the way of the Agidyne shot her way. Barely pushing her to the ground as the flames burned my body severely, a pillar of fire that ignited my very soul, and totally wrecked my health bar… but at least she was safe. Everything hurt, even running seemed less likely now, which meant I had to rip the chains off this freak myself.

“Fuck… you… PERSONA!”

PATING!

FFRSSHHSHHHHHHH!!!!!

Wind, light, and loud noise all happened at once. The Persona that was supposed to appear behind me only showed for a brief second, and I did not see who I had summoned at all.

All I saw was the blinding white before it evaporated into balls of energy.

They rushed towards my hand, ripping apart my glove in blinding speed as something began clenching down on my ring finger. I tried to grab at it but the rush of energy and wind meant I couldn’t even reach my own wrist. My hand kept in place as the lights and sounds poured into it my finger.

In what felt like both an age and a second, the sudden silence was deafening. Leaving only a pure grey ring on my right hand.

What the fuck was happening?!

“RAAHGGHHH!!”

“Shush now, foolish creature.”

CRASH!

I had flinched from my Gollum-esque ring staring to the sound of the Reaper raising its gun again. Only to see a woman in blue knock the strongest shadow back several feet to crash into a pillar. The loud groaning of pain was not something I’d ever heard from it, with rubble crashing down on its head.

Though obviously the concern had switched to this new woman who had the strength to do that to the Reaper.

Colour wise she matched the twins, but her outfit was different than the two loli jailers. She was taller, curvier, and dressed like a rather sexy elevator attendant. Blue gloves twinkling with energy, a cute pure white bobcut hairdo, and piercing yellow eyes that seemed to taunt me as she turned to look at me.

Before I could ask her her name, another voice appeared behind me.

“Wonderful job, my dear sister. I must say, your strength has not diminished in the slightest from your time away from us. Though I must comment that you seemed to have left him alive.”

My head spun around, finding another two women in the same coloured costumes. Both had long platinum blonde hair, one dressed as a maid, the other looking like she’d be more at home in a limo than the side of a train tracks. All their eyes were the same pure yellow, though only one’s looked in any way familiar. “Of course~ I want to see if this one can figure out how to solve the problem himself.”

“ROORAHHAAA!!!!” The Reaper roared loudly, bursting out of the rubble like a horrific gopher.

“Trickster, please ask the shadow to leave.”

My neck was gonna hurt tomorrow from all this whipping about. Maid girl had asked me that with a concerned frown on her face, “W-wha-?! Who are you people?!”

Elevator girl shrugged at me derisively, “You’re giving him the answers, and he still can’t figure it out? How droll.”

“Please, ask it to leave.” Repeated the maid woman.

I had no idea what she was talking about, but with the Reaper rushing towards me and confusion clenching my mind, I just did what I was told. “C-can you please leave?”

The Reaper did something I'd never seen it do before. It paused. Mid-charge it just hard stopped, dropping its guns slowly while just floating menacingly in place. Staring at my shaking form for about a minute before letting out another noise.

“RRSSRRRRYYYYEEEEESSSSRRRHHAAHHHHHH..”

And then it phased through the floor. Leaving only a ghostly puddle that soon too faded to nothingness. Had… had the Reaper just spoke to me? D-did it say ‘yes’?

Obviously, I had bigger concerns with these three blue women and a frozen Sumire, but to say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. Maid girl smiled a tentative smile at me, “Well done. For better or for worse, you have awoken to a new power.” She nodded, nodding her head down to the ring on my finger. I’d somehow forgotten that happened, again, very overwhelmed. Was I about to cry? Maybe. Life was a lot right now, and that Reaper shot really hurt.

My head raised, and now all three women were walking towards a single familiar blue door that had appeared out of nowhere in the middle of Mementos.

A door that usually had one of two tiny jailers in front of, now with three gorgeous women all looking at me instead.

“Now, though I have changed form due to the new nature of your journey, I hope you still recognise me a little ‘Inmate’. Won’t you join me and my sisters in the Velvet Room?”

Obviously a lot of explaining incoming for the next chapter, but just to say with Elizabeth and Margaret's appearance there will probably be Persona 3+4 spoilers incoming. As well as the spin offs because I'm too invested in this franchise lmao.
