A sequel to a fanfiction that I made called "Tales of the Otherworld" which is based off of the Persona Series featuring Tales of Series Characters.
Tales of the Otherworld: The Answer � Chapter 1: Memoir of Friends
Reiki was sitting on the train in total deep thought. She wondered if her friends even remembered her...
Reiki Shutuagi was now twenty years old and attending the University of Scaliene in Tokyo... The University was named that after the once famous city that Reiki lived in... The Urban City that it once was, it was now in almost total ruins... War and crime devoured the city after Reiki left it. All of her friends eventually left the city, too. They were all now looking for new things that await in their life. Their adventures together came to an end when Reiki left the city. Their job of solving the mysteries was finished and they returned to normal school days once the Persona and all of that vanished to thought forever.
Reiki moved around at short periods of time... But she was never ever alone. Reiki was always followed and eventually adored by Takuma Saiou... A long time friend and now lover of Reiki's. As soon as she finished college, she wanted to marry her beloved Takuma Saiou. It wasn't till their final year of High School that she remembered him confessing his love for her. Reiki was in utter shock when it happened and happily accepted as soon as they were done with college.
But now she was sitting on the train right next to Saiou-kun on their way to the University of Scaliene of Tokyo, Japan... The most prestige and wild University in all of Japan. Reiki stared out the window as she saw the new buildings... It was a very long time since she came to Tokyo last. She remembered all of the old buildings. She wondered how much more new stuff was added onto the University...
Reiki then took her thoughts of that away when Saiou looked at her and asked, �Do you think everyone remembers us?�
�I hope so...� Reiki said as she gazed out the window, thinking of all the friends.
First of all, there was Hubert Ozwell... The person that broke Reiki's ankle and injured the other one the very first day she had met him. She remembered his very short, blue hair and black, square glasses. She even remembered the weapon he used when fighting alongside his Persona. A double-edged sword that, when separated, turns into two pistols to shoot. It could even turn into an arrow when Hubert worked with it. He was a smart student with some of the highest grades in his Class. At the time she met him, Hubert was seventeen (17) years old and was a Third Year and Scaliene High School. He lived in a Dorm that Reiki moved into. She remembered the fights that got into over small things and then eventually broken up my either Saiou or Cress Albane.
Then Reiki was thinking about Cress Albane... He was also a smart student and was the Captain of the Scaliene High School Kendo Team. He was in Reiki's High School 3rd Year Class, Class 3-B. Cress made some above average grades. Reiki memorized that way of thinking about Cress. He was someone who usually helped anyone with anything. He was the knightly type to help anyone who would need it. That was just Cress' way of thinking about things and acting on them. At least that he would do a good act. His main weapon when fighting would be sword and shield. He was a classic hero.
The second person Reiki remembered, was Ruca Milda. The transfer student who transferred in on the second day of school... He was a Third Year Student in Class 3-A with Hubert. Reiki realized that he used a giant as hell broadsword for fighting and giggled a little on the inside. He was such a quiet boy at the beginning of the year. Perhaps meeting everyone else at the dorm introduced him to new things and practically saving the world beside his friends...
Reiki remembered Richter Abend and Duke Pantarei. Richter was the red-head, in actuality, a half-elf from another world while Duke was the white-haired boy and quiet as can be. Richter was the Student Council President as a Third Year and Duke was the Vice President. Both of them could summon a Persona except had to use a Revolver in order to do so. Their powers were and acted much more different than anyone else. Maybe excluding Reiki, Hubert, and Saiou... Reiki made good friends with them and actually still keep in contact to this day.
After that, Reiki remembered everyone else, the rest of the Persona Users, and then regular students that she forever formed a bond with. She always thought after meeting him, that Hubert was more special than her. But thanks to him, she doesn't put herself down anymore and continues to move toward her new Destiny. To her new Hope... Her new Fate... This is where the Tale began and where it will end. The Tale of journeys to another world with her friends and saving the two worlds from the Shadows and Evil...
Now Reiki just wanted to begin a normal life again, with her friends. She just hoped that they remembered her as much as she remembered them... Saiou held her hand then as he spoke, �It's almost time to go. Look, look at the map on the computer... We are almost there...�
Saiou reached into his pocket and pulled out one of his old Tarot Cards and said to Reiki again, �Just look. Out Destiny reached a conclusion the years ago. But... now... The Wheel of Fortune is once again moving... What do you think this means...?�
�I dunno... I guess we just have to wait and see for ourselves,� Reiki gave Saiou a smile and he smiled back to her.
�Here are your things,� Saiou had reached up to the luggage rack and pulled down Reiki's hand bags. They had to wait for the train to stop to grab the rest of their things. The thing that made Reiki mad, was that males and females could only be room mates of the same gender. That meant that she couldn't be in the same room as Saiou... It was still the same as before... Most Students preferred to live in the School Dorms because it was cheaper. Even though most of them could probably afford an apartment. They were attending the most prestige University in Japan, after all...
Saiou took his laptop bag and put it around his shoulders and let it reach down.
Then a voice came on the train's speakers and said, �Here we are folks. Welcome to the University of Scaliene, in Tokyo, Japan. I hope you all have good year to the students attending this prestige University.�
Reiki walked out down the stairs and shortly followed by Saiou. Reiki walked outside and looked around. It actually wasn't that crowded because it was a little into the evening already. Reiki immediately bet that everyone was either talking in the lounges or eating out to dinner in the giant city that Tokyo is. Saiou came out right after Reiki and looked around, too. He then asked Reiki, �Do you want to message the others?�
�That is a brilliant idea!� Reiki yelled as she pulled out her cell phone. She then just started pounding in the keys to send a text the others that planned on coming. She then got a swarm of messages...
The First Message:
Sender: Hubert Ozwell
Hey Rei-chan! Long time no chat, hasn't it? I can't believe it's been a few years, what about you? I hope that all of us can have more adventures at the university! Remember! We are the Scaliene High School Kendo Team! And we always will be and have their Spirit and Heart! Isn't that about it?! Well, I'll chat later. See ya!
~Sincerely Hubert Ozwell
�So he started calling me Rei-chan?!� Reiki complained as she went to the next message. Saiou giggled a little and Reiki gave him a stare.
The Second Message:
Sender: Richter Abend
How's it going, Reiki? I hope you've had a good time traveling... right...? I bet it wasn't as fun as our times adventuring, right? I hope to talk later. Sorry, Duke is trying to take my phone! Apparently his is dead!! H-Hey! Duke! I'm typing still!!
~See you later, from Richter Abend
�I'm surprised how much he talks now... hehe...� Reiki smiled as she went to the next message.
The Third Message:
Sender: Duke Pantarei
What's going on? I just took the phone away from Richter just now. XD It's been a long time since we've seen each other. How has Saiou been since he confessed his love for you at the end of the school year? -grins- Well-! I'm, going... to have to cut this short! Richter better get away from me!!
~Later, Duke Pantarei
The Fourth Message:
Sender: Richter Abend
I think I'm going to kill Duke... Next time... HE BETTER CHARGE HIS DAMN PHONE!! He is SO not taking mine again! XO
�Those two are so weird...� Reiki said to herself as she got a big grin on her face. She didn't realize that Saiou was looking at the messages from behind her back.
The Fifth Message:
Sender: Kyoya Otori
Hey Reiki-chan. I can't wait to see you again. Me and Kio both can't wait... And my sister. Did I tell you anytime that she was going to be living down the street from the University? That's my Fuyumi Otori for you... heh... I have to go! Fuyumi wants me to help her carry her things in now. I'll see you later!
~Till then! Kyoya Otori
�Fuyumi's coming...? This will be just great...�
The Sixth Message:
Sender: Kio Takura
I made a excuse if you saw Kyoya's message. I'm waiting for him outside of Fuyumi's house. It's kind of obvious that she would have her own house because of how rich the Otori Family is... Am I trailing on...? I just felt like texting that :)
~Sayonara, from Kio Takura
The Seventh Message:
Sender: Hikari Gojyou
This is your Sensei~! I can't believe I had to get to the university before everyone else along with the rest of the Professors and Teachers... And other Staff Members... What a pain... Oh well... I hope you can have class with me. -wink- Unlike everyone else, I've actually seen you since the parting. Later.
~From Hikari-sensei
�That's my Sensei... Two more messages left in my box... Wait... How come Shuji or Jade haven't send me a message? Or Raven...? They all said they transferred to the University in some way... They could at least have the energy to text or call me!� Reiki complained to the phone. Saiou was laughing behind her under his breath.
The Eighth Message:
Sender: Rudger Goodwin
I'm sorry I couldn't be on the train with you guys this morning... I apologize in advance before you go ahead and kill me when you get to the University... I got held up in work here. Sorry... But I thought I told Rex to be there... He is your father... He really things of you as a daughter, you know... Have you ever acknowledged that before?
~Good bye and later, Rudger Goodwin
�Why does Rudger always give me long messages...? Does he like to make me read that much...?� Reiki asked herself as she scrolled down to the last message.
The Ninth and Final Message:
Sender: Kotoko Soriumi
Reiki-senpai... I'm sorry I forgot to message you... Rudger is making me do so much work...! Even though I'm supposed to be at my Room getting everything ready. Do you think you would want to be my roommate this year? Michiri said she had someone else in mind. -sigh- Give me your message later, :) And then, I hope you can be my roommate! ^^
~Love, Kotoko Soriumi, �Koto-chan�
�I guess I should be her roommate... I didn't have anyone else in mind...� Reiki said as she put her phone away. She was irritated that not even Rex had sent a text. She thought he was busy as being the new Director of the Police Corps of Tokyo... The Station positioned near the University... But Reiki thought he should have still tried to send a text... Even a really small one. She just wanted one from him... Oh well now... At least she could see him later tomorrow. Maybe today... But it was already evening...
�Reiki... We're here,� Saiou said with a smile on his face.
�Whoa! The building is huge!� Reiki yelled when she looked out the building and saw the University Campus in the background... There were multiple parts with the Dorm Rooms for two, where public things were like the auditorium and such, and then there were multiple, multiple rooms for classes... Reiki knew that the sport things were in the back along with the fields...
...She couldn't wait to get off the train and go inside to see her friends, once again...
~/~\~/~\~
Author's Note!: I used Roman's Japanese name �Rudger� this time around (unlike �Road to Top Duelist� where I accidentally used it once and kept it. X_X). There will be even more Tales of Characters as this goes ;)
Also: THIS IS A LONG CHAPTER! I don't care... (2000+ Words)...
I also think that �The Answer� will be better than the original since I already like the idea more... :D
It's based a little more off of Persona this time (hence title, the expansion/epilogue to P3).
See everyone in the next chapter and review. (I WILL NOT make it spoil anything! Even I don't know much of how Tales of the Otherworld will end excluding the obvious �The Main Characters defeat the final villain� and blah blah, blah.)
