Demons of my Past (Persona 5 male reader insert)

(Remastered) Break Out

You awoke as you heard a woman yelling.

"YOU MONEY GRUBBING ASSHOLE!"

"Jeez, she must be pissed if I can hear her down here."

Suddenly the walls around me started to shake and I could hear a motorcycle engine revving. I looked around and the chain holding the only light source in the room began swaying violently and smashing the globe against the ceiling, yet only managing to crack the glass.

"CHARGE JOHANNA!" I could hear the woman yell again.

I could feel the chains coming loose when suddenly an electric current was sent through the chains and shocked me.

"Well that hurt, must be a fail safe if I try and break the chains, guess I'm not getting out yet."

I could hear that engine revving up again but this time I heard something being crashed through and heard Kaneshiro yell about how the door now needs to be replaced.

"That woman crashed through the door?! Not bad, I just wish I could've gotten outta here too"

I relaxed my body and closed my eyes again and let darkness take me for what felt like the billionth time.

*THE NEXT DAY*

I opened my eyes when the light flickered in my cell and the door was slowly being opened. I looked ahead as light rushed in and blinded me causing me to squint my eyes as six figures appeared in front of me.

"A prisoner, how long has he been kept here I wonder." I heard a boyish voice say.

"I don't know, I've been here for longer than a few days if that's what you're wondering." I said back.

"How horrible, c'mon Joker, we need to get him out." I heard a high pitched female voice say.

"There's an electrical box over there, maybe that'll work?" I heard a guys voice say.

One of the figures walked over the the wall to my left and kicked the box, breaking the fuses inside.

"Now we can get the chains off him." I heard a reserved female voice say.

I looped my hands around the chains and pulled on the chains and they easily snapped apart, I stood up and rubbed my eyes and they adjusted so I could make out the groups faces. They wore masks but I could see that they were around my age, but one of them was a cat.

"Why are you a cat?" I asked it.

"I'M NOT A CAT, I'M A HUMAN!" He yelled at me.

"But you look like a cat?" I said back.

"It's a long story." A blonde lady wearing a red leather outfit said with a sigh.

"Why are you wearing a leather jumpsuit?" I asked her.

"Another long story." She told me.

"Alright enough chatting, who are you?" A woman a wearing a metal mask asked me.

"Aren't we inquisitive miss apocalyptic rider." I said to her.

"I will not hesitate to smack you." She said back to me.

"Maybe after we're done here." I winked at her.

She blushed and turned her head away from me, clearly embarrassed.

The one wearing the white mask and black trench coat stepped towards me and held out his hand for me to shake.

"I'm Joker, and this is my team." He said as I shook his hand.

"I'm Mona." The cat thing said as he jumped onto Jokers shoulder.

"I'm Skull." The blonde haired guy said to me.

"I'm Panther, and don't get any ideas about the whip or suit." She told me with a sarcastic tone.

"And I'm Fox." The last guy told me.

I turned to the woman I had embarrassed and asked what her name was.

"I'm Queen, and you'd be best to remember it." She told me, recovering from her embarrassment.

"Somebody seems a bit flustered." Skull said a bit louder than intended.

Queen took a step towards Skull and punched him in the stomach.

"I take it that happens quite a bit?" I asked Joker.

"Nope, first time, but probably not the last." He said back to me.

I walked past the group and peeked around the corner to see no shadows.

"Well I do very much thank you for the save but I believe this is where we split, and I recommend you all get out of here before Kaneshiro finds out where you are." I tell them.

"But we've made it this far." Mona told me.

"And good job on that but past here is no cake walk, it's not easy and I don't think you're all cut out to get to the treasure."

"How'd you know we're here for the treasure?" Queen asked me.

"Because you're the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, I've followed your activities since you took down Kamoshida, but believe me, a powerful mob boss is way more powerful than a rapist." I told her.

Panther looked taken aback at my statement and I looked at the rest of the group.

"We've taken someone else down, not just him you know." Skull told me.

"How long ago was this?" I asked, now confused as to why I hadn't heard anything.

"Probably about a month ago now." Joker told me.

"I haven't heard anything about that, who was it." I asked him.

"Madarame." Fox told me.

"I knew he had a palace but I never saw a reason to confront him." I told the group.

"So you've been in a palace before?" Mona asks me.

"Yes, but that is a private matter." I told him.

"Well why don't we work together, our goals are obviously aligned since you're in here too." Panther said.

"Somewhat aligned."

"So what do you say stranger, you down for a team up?" Skull asked me.

"As long as you don't slow me down, and call me Mercer." I told him.

"Well Mercer, lead the way then." Joker said.

I walked out of the vault and the group followed me as I lead them into the vault area where Kaneshiros treasure was.

*TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY ME BEING TOO LAZY TO WRITE PADDING*

"The treasure is here, so I'll leave you to do your thing." I told the group.

"What will you do?" Queen asked me.

"I'll be waiting here." I told her. "After all, the treasure is what you need to change his heart."

"Can we trust him?" Mona whispered to the group.

"Yes you can. You held your own coming here, I've got no reason to steal the treasure from you." I said to the group.

"Well I trust him." Joker said.

There was a moment of silence before Panther spoke up.

"Well if Joker trusts him then I can too."

"I guess, just know we'll be coming for you if you take the treasure from us." Queen told me.

"Then I've got nothing to worry about." I told her with a smirk.

The group turned around and left the palace, I decided climb up to a vantage point to keep an eye on the treasure.
