P5 X NSP ; The Persona In Me

Kelberus, The Soulseer

An immediate blast of Purple-ish blue light shot up into the sky, followed by the sudden gushing blows of currents as Mizu laughed maniacally. Bloom and the others held their ground, with Cory holding onto Lara, as the blue beam slowly turned to a crimson-ish hue. Soon, two pairs of sharp, blue eyes appeared from the beam. They stared down at the group before soon disappearing as the sky began changing. Clouds were moving rapidly as the moon was soon unveiled from its thin cloud mantle, revealing it to be now bloodred instead. Soon, the beam dissipates as the thing that stared at them was now visible. It seemed to look like...a Mizutsune? Although, it looked rather different. Its eyes were shut by scars and its fins seemed to have a rather distinguishable pattern.

"...Mizu?" Bloom asked as she soon stops to look down at them, the audibly panicked screams of the audience in the background due to the sudden beam and stuff. No worries, the guards and Hooper are helping resolve the situation.

"Oh, why hello, Doctor! Do you and your little crew of SoulSaviours like my new, ever so astute outfit? It even comes with a new persona!~" Mizu said as she looked at the Mizutsune lookalike. Bloom stared in astonishment as Mizu lightly waved her arms in the air, looking at them with rather yellow eyes instead of icy-blue ones.

"Mizu, this isn't you! Snap out of it!" Cory said. Mizu soon looked at him blankly before breaking out into laughter.

"Snap out of it? Snap out of it?! HA! You must be of unsound mind to think I'd do that, even after you said my real name instead of my SoulSaviour one! Besides, isn't Kelberus such a beauty?" Sakura asked as she soon gently treaded her hands against the new persona's head.

"K-Kelberus?...What happened to Beowulf?" Jerry asked worriedly. Sakura stopped before scoffing at Jerry.

"That useless mutt? Well...he's right here." She said before she pulls out something from Kelberus' fur undercoat and tossed it out. The item bounced from the ground with a slight, wooden thock! before landing right in front of Bloom. He slowly looked down and saw Mizu's old mask, sitting on the ground as Sakura cackled once more.

"See? Isn't he such a good boy in there? Ah, that reminds me..." She remarked. Bloom stared at her in confusion before...wait, why was there a smell of fire?

"UH- BLOOM- YOUR PANTS-" Cory called out. Bloom immediately looked down and saw that the rim of his pants was ablaze. Panicking, he began to attempt to put the fire out but to no avail. As he did, he soon noticed that his pants were turning...white.

"Uhm...guys?" Jerry asked. Bloom looked over at Jerry and immediately saw that a bunch of owl feathers were covering Jerry, transforming his clothes into his metaverse's clothing.

"What the- JERRY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" Bloom asked him as he soon fully caught ablaze, transforming into Doctor. However, Jerry was too shocked to reply as he watched Cory painfully transform into Greeneye while the owl feathers fully transform him into Owl.

"I think we're transforming into our SoulSaviour identities." Triana replied for him, ever so calmly as Cory soon transformed into Greeneye. She was slowly getting covered with a thick sheet of armour.

"WHY ARE YOU SO CALM ABOUT IT?!" Co- I mean Greeneye asked her as she soon transformed into Knight. Lara was fully covered by a pattern of 1s and 0s and Toby was partially covered in multiple galaxies.

"Good, good! I see you all are becoming the SoulSaviours!" Sakura said as soon as Lara and Toby transform into Saturn and Cosmo respectfully. Greeneye stood there in shock before snapping out of it, realizing something.

"Wait...what's the point of turning us into our Metaverse parts? That just means we can beat you up more easily now!" Greeneye said as he turned to look at Sakura, his hands moved to his mask with a devious little smirk.
