The Ultimate Challenge: A Persona 25th Anniversary One Shot

1: Who Will Win?

(Happy Persona 25th Anniversary!!! As a fellow fan who has played through all Persona 5 games, Persona 3 FES, and is halfway through Persona 4, as well as moving to play Persona 1 and 2, this series has brought so much fun and joy to my life. Thus, why I am consistently writing fanfiction about our beloved characters :'3

As a celebration for the 25th Anniversary, I'd like to present a single one-shot fic, with all of the protagonist's in one story! I've done my best to write as many easter eggs of the various games into this short chapter, and have done my best to write the characters as canon to their games as possible! It may not be perfect, but I did my best!

Happy 25th! Please enjoy! :3 ))

Tell me why you did it, every dream falling apart

Tell me why you did it after the promise

Still aching, still aching, oh baby I need your love

Looking so different, glaring street light

Heartbeat, heartbeat, it keeps on pounding

Heartbreak, heartbreak, you tell me goodbye

Heartbeat, heartbeat, it keeps on pounding

Heartbreak, heartbreak, you tell me goodbye

"So.....is this......it?"

Makoto Yuki, best known as the quiet, wistful blue haired boy that had come from Iwatodai City, spoke up as he stuffed his hands even further into his pockets. A single headphone, with a clip that sat along the top of his ear, was just barely hanging onto the right side of his head.

"I mean....the name is the same."

The taller boy beside Makoto sighed lightly and took his phone out once more. His long, silver bangs fell into his matching grey eyes as he reviewed his Google-Japan map app.

"This is the address." He glanced the coordinates, then switched screens and reviewed Ren's directions. Yu Narukami, who had accompanied Makoto Yuki to the place specified by their friend, Ren Amamiya, felt actually quite confident in himself today.

After all, he lived in Inaba, a small, closed in town that suffered from alot of rain and fog.

He had come from the city years previous, but had gotten so used to settling in that rural, sleepy metropolis, that he often didn't venture outside of the town lines often.

Thus, getting to this place efficiently, without getting lost, was quite the feat for him.

"So.....it's a fast food restaurant." Despite his normal, dead-pan responses, Yuki's tone seemed to be quite impassive this time. Yu looked up to the sign just above the door, with its bright, glittering letters.

He tilted his head as he spoke out.

"Big-Bang-Burger." He blinked.

"I wonder if their food is better than Junes..."

Makoto met Yu's eyes curiously.

"It definitely won't match Hagakure...that's for sure." The blue haired protagonist turned back towards the clear glass doors that seemed to be styled after some sort of space-like movie. He reached his hand out to grasp the doorhandle.

"Well....should we just....get this over with?" 

Yu readied to agree and saunter in after his friend, but - 

"Oh wait." The boy who, could only be described as the Chad of the group, turned over his shoulder.

"Where did-?"
