Chie summons her Persona " persona!" She roundhouse kicks it summoning Tomoe the chariot arcana, shadows start coming at her " let's go!" Tomoe dashes forward, jabbing one with his or her foot, then slicing the rest with the spear, and then a roundhouse to finish the rest " sweet! Moving on!" The group running which Chie taking the lead "Wow Chie's really fire isn't she!" Teddie praised. "Yeah but try to take it easy! you just activated your Persona recently, so it's gonna be a bit hard to adjust." Iyumi explained as they run.

"Iyumi's right Chie, don't overdo it!" Yusuke says.

" come on! Where are you yukiko!" Chie continues looking for her, missing what they said " she just blew us off!" Yusuke exclaimed

" chie! Their right! Dont over do it" Yu yells running after her

"I'm fine this is nothing!" Chie said running while iyumi follow them

" *sigh* where does that girl get her energy from!?" The blond girl pants.

"Aw man...there's absolutely nothing I hate more than getting blown off by a girl.." he sulks while teddy laughs behind him " zip it bear!" He yelled with a tick mark on his head, chie  still thought about her worried as she ran ' yukiko...' After a while they end up finding a set of stairs which lead to two double doors

They run up the stairs but was suddenly stopped when the lights went off. "What's this?" Chie asked looking around.

"It's icky midnight!" Teddie said, and began spazzing around.

"ok we get it bear!" Yusuke yelled.

Then all of the sudden spotlights appeared flashing pass us and stopped at the top of the stairs, Revealing other Yukiko in a princess dress, Other Yukiko had her back to us but when she turned around drum rolls were rolling "Huh?" other Yukiko said looking at the group surprised. "Yukiko!" Chie shouts about to run up to the other Yukiko but stops. "That's not who you think it is!" Narukami called out

As shadow yukiko starts laughing "Hahaha what's this surprise guests!" Other Yukiko said. "Now this is a party! Well then it's time to begin the other segment!" Other Yukiko said holding out her hand as a title screen appears.

"What's that for?" Teddie asked. "It's a title screen, for T.V shows and stuff." Iyumi explained.

"Yeah it is." Narukami nodded "Alright who are you?" Chie questioned, Shadow Yukiko giggles and said "How could you ask that, I am Yukiko and Yukiko is me." She said smirking at them. "No your not!" Chie said shaking in anger. "I want the real Yukiko now!" She yelled "Alright it's now time to resume my stud hunt!" Other Yukiko said posing in different poses. "Princey boi ready or not here I come!" Other Yukiko said and then ran off. "Hold it!" Chie said running up the stairs while we follow her, But when they got to the top shadows appeared and blocked the path.

"Ugh Damn it." Chie curse. "Out of my way!" She shouted sending Tomoe out and fighting the shadows.

Flashback

Yukiko and iyumi were originally talking while waiting for chie, when Two guys came over to ask them out "cmon, why not?" One asked

" we just wanna have some good clean fun, some shopping, some karaoke, that kinda stuff" the other said "I can't, I'm too busy" yukiko said " me too...sorry..." iyumi said " well when aren't you busy the previous guy asked "Hey!" Chie yelled running in and pushing one of them back " stop pestering them!"She yelled at the guy closer to them " relax, we were just trying to get them to hang out with us!" The guy she pushed exclaimed

She turned and glared at him " eh.,.whatever let's go" the other one grumbled walking off " man I was hoping they'd come along" his buddy whined "Chile's cranky today"

" thanks for that chie" yukiko said " yeah, it wasn't easy telling them no" iyumi sighs in relief as chie turned to them "that was nothing! I just stormed your castles my miladies" she says grinning jokingly While they giggle " what? I don't think that's the expression you wanted!" Yukiko' says " so you!" She giggled

" what's that supposed to mean?" Chie pouts, then grins " whateve's"

" just glad you showed up in town, it was hard telling them no by myself" iyumi smiles" thanks you so much guys" yukiko says "Woah that was a bit random" chie says surprised as iyumi " yeah for what?" She asks, Yukiko shakes her head " it's for all that you've done, when ever I need you two, you always there to come to my rescue, without fail" she smiles

Flash back end

The real yukiko was lying unconscious on the ground in a pink kimono ' thank you...' "Chie and iyumi are nice! Chie and iyumi can do anything!" She wakes to a voice " chie and iyumi are always by my side!" She starts to finally stir " chie and iyumi will always protect me, they will always save Me" she gets up

" who's there?" Yukiko questioned, just then she heard tinkering and looked towards the stairs and saw a bird cage rolling down, Her old bird cage, it rolled right next to her "hey...that's my..."

While walking home, passed to girls giggling about something to do with getting a job, and ditching it if they get bored, and some couple talking about couple stuff, She just kept walking, once she'd crossed the Bridge she hears sad bird chirps and ran to investigate, where she finds a baby bird in a nest that had fallen from It's tree " poor little thing..."

Other memory's were of her working at her family's inn, working hard everyday, delivering food around, and other stuff, then when she was done, she went to check on her new pet bird " this was...my birds cage..." she mumbled

Back with the others

After defeating the shadows they continue up the stair with their Personas flying by their side"So do you think that was-" Yusuke began asked while they ran up the stairs. "Yep definitely that was girl's other shadow for sure." Teddie said while our Personas take down the shadows on our path "I knew it, I knew something seemed off when I saw her on the midnight Channel." Iyumi said. "yeah Yukiko would never say something like stud hunting." Yusuke said.

"She was hunting studs? what would she want a bunch of horses for?" Teddie asks. "I'll explain later." Iyumi says

' yukiko...where are you?...' both girls in the group thought

Back to yukiko's flashbacks

Going through the same routine, cleaning the inn, greeting the guests in their rooms and delivering food, checking on her bird and feeding it

At school, when chie came up with ideas on how they should hang out with iyumi, she'd have to politely turn them, rushing home to the inn to work, delivering g food around, cleaning, checking on the bird, and play with it if she was free, it was also starting to look for healthier, Same stuff at school again, sad shed have to turn down offers from her two friends, running to the inn to work, tending to the guests, carrying empty plates down to the kitchen, and finally again, Feeding the bird

" your just like I am...we can't live anywhere but here..." she said to her bird

Back to the present

She stared at the cage " at least that's what I thought...." She heard the words she said

One day, when she went into her room, she saw her birds cage door open, her mother happened to be walking by " you forgot to lock the cage before you put him back?"Yukiko continued to stare " the way you cared for that little bird yuki, you must be heart broken"

At school

" so that means, your out huh?" Chie says "oh well, I was hoping the three of us could get something g to eat after school today" she says " look I'm really sorry, I know I keep turning you guys down" yukiko says sadly " it's okay yuki, really!" Iyumi says to comfort her " it's no biggie, it's busy season at the inn right now, it not your fault at all" chie reassures "I'm sorry" yukiko closes her eyes " stop apologising already" chie says " we don't wanna feel like we're nagging you"chie says

" by the way, is everything okay with you?" Iyumi asked concerned " yeah, you seem kinda down lately" chie says joining in on the worry train

Yukiko remembered her bird " no it's nothing.." she lied " you know yukiko it's okay" chie said "What is?" Yukiko  asked confused "Look you'll own that inn one day" chie says "That's just the way it is and that's cool" Yukiko's eyes widened and then Turned sad "She's right but you don't need to overwork yourself" iyumi chimmed in "If you ever need us we're here for you, you just have to tell us, We'd be happy to help you" chie says, they then noticed her expression

"Is that bad?" Iyumi asked, She gasped and shakes her head "Thank you so much guys" yukiko says

Flash back end

"That's just the way....it is" yukiko repeated "That's when you realised" she gasped when she heard the voice, and started looming around for the source "no, chie and iyumi won't ever free me from this miserable place, That's when you gave up all hope!" Yukiko began looking around while still lying on the ground" How did you-Who is this?Come out and show yourself!" Yukiko demanded

The person giggled"You want to see me?"Her attention was draw to the throne up top, and the person in front of it..... "See who I am? What I look like? Why i am, is you..." It was the other yukiko...

Just then the others arrived,chie opens the big doors they saw Yukiko on the ground while the shadow Yukiko sitting on her throne."Yukiko!" Chie and iyumi shouts "Chie! Iyumi!" She shouts as well

"My My~four princes have shown up today." The shadow coed.  "Four?" Chie asks confused looking around "But there are only two guys and one bear." Iyumi said.  "Wait does that mean the other two are me and Chie?!" Iyumi ask with wide eyes "It's beary obvious the third one is me of course!" Teddie said with a tick mark.  "Yeah keep dreaming bear." Yosuke groaned.  "Of course it's Chie and iyumi, since both of you did fight your way to me." The shadow said walking down the start  "And Chie, iyumi, you will always be my princes, well at least you did.." The Shadow muttered

"We did?" Chie and iyumi asks walking forward then looking at each other

"You see I'm through with you now." The shadow glared, suddenly heard a clang sound could be heard,  Yu look up and saw a two huge chandelier about to fall on Chie and iyumi, He reached out the them, on the process, remembering Margaretes words " my dear guest, thanks entirely to this new bond you
Have forged, you have now awakened the chariot arcana, it's persona is noted by its strength"

"Ara mitama!" He summon, it floated above the two girls and stopped the chandelier in time and push it away. 

Yukiko shrieked when it almost hit her, He then collapsed on his knees " you okay?" Iyumi asked"Chie and iyumi let me down." The shadow said  "Huh?" Both asked confused.  "They won't save me." The shadow repeated  "Stop it already, that is enough!" Yukiko exclaimed and ducked  her head when The chandelier rose back up and flies towards the group,  they move out of the way and Jiraiya tries to stop it but instead he was stuck on the wall. 

Yosuke holds his stomach in pain

"Yusuke call Jiraiya back to get him out!" Iyumi shouts.  "I can't he's too far away." Yosuke said.  "Izanagi!" Narukami shouts and Ara mitama goes back and turns into Izanagi "Medusa go help Jiraiya!" Iyumi shout. She nods and flies over to Jiraiya and grabbing the chandelier with izanagi

"Guys!" Chie shouts.

"Oh no." Yukiko whispered

"Historical Inn, Inn keeper training...I'm absolute sick of being stuck there!" The shadow yelled angry

"Damn it all!" Chie shouts and crushes Tomoe's Tarot card, and Tomoe appears.

Tomoe was about to fly up, but the carpets moved and trapped Tomoe and Chie. "Ahhhh!" Chie shouts "Grizzly!" Teddie shouts riding the carpet all wrapped up " crap!" Iyumi exclaimed as her and chie fall "Chie! Iyumi!" The girl shouts worried "I never asked to be born here, where everything has been decided for me until the day I die...I don't want it! I don't want any of it!" Shadow yukiko began shaking her head violently

"We gotta help them." Yu said  "Right-woah." Yosuke said but suddenly the chandelier lights up and the wax from it's candles stick to their feet making them unable to move. "What is this crap?!" Yosuke said while he was stuck in a kneeling position.

"Damn it at this rate--" Yu said but was cut off.

"None of this is true." Yukiko said falling to her knees "I wanna go far away, i wanna go anywhere but here, I want someone to whisk me away, I can't leave on my own..." The Shadow said while the girl was shaking her head turning away. "stop it, please stop it." Yukiko said, she looked like she was about to cry "But I lack hope...and the courage to leave...that's why I've been waiting, someday my prince to come and take me away, he'll come and take me someplace far away from here!."

"I'm begging... stop." Yukiko pleaded. "An old tradition, the pride of the town....Screw it all!" The shadow shouted Yukiko gasped and looked up at her"H-How dare you say that!" Yukiko shouted "But it's how I feel, isn't that right.....other me." The shadow smirked creepily. "No it isn't, you are not--" Yukiko said cut off "Yukiko don't!" Chie shouted. "Don't say it!" Narukami warned. "Your a liar, You are not me!" She shouted standing up.

"Hehe, and the power starts to surge, if things continue at this pace then, HAHAHA!" The shadow said as darkness surrounded her, The ball of darkness rises up and when it comes down the shadow looked like a bird with yukiko's head, now on top of the chandelier that looks like a birdcage.. "I am a shadow, of your true inner self." The shadow said, Yukiko starts backing away but all of the sudden the small birdcage on her left grows and traps her and is chained up and is being yanked up. "Yukiko!" Chie and iyumi shouts

"CHIIIIEEE! IYUMIIIII!" She shouts as she's hoisted up.

"Yukiko! Let me go!" Chie shouted struggling and then Tomoe used her spear or naginata and cut the carpets off them, Medusa comes in and rips the carpet, Setting Iyumi free

Meanwhile

Izanagi was able to get Jiraiya out and throw the chandeliers side "We've got you Yukiko, what ever she throws, we can take in more." Chie glared looking at the huge bird " she's right, we're not leaving you here" Iyumi glared at the huge bird "Oh really?...Then I guess I have to hit you.." The shadow began  "With everything I GOT!" The shadow then flapped it's wings sending her feathers out on us and exploded.

"Ughh!" Narukami groaned.

"Ahh!" Izumi shouts, but works though the pain

"Ow Ow Ow! that burns, easy on the firey burny stuff other Yukiko!" Yosuke said holding his leg.

"Yosuke, let's go!" Yu said after getting his leg free. "Get her Jiraiya!" Yosuke shouts making Jiraiya use Garu spells, Izanagi flies towards the shadow, But the shadow quickly closes it's cage and the attacks fail "Hahaha!" The shadow laughed. "Aw man!" Narukami complained "Yeah tell me about it!" Yosuke too

"Yukiko we're on the way!" Chie said running to the her with Iyumi " hang on!" but, Tomoe and Medusa got hit by the chandelier sending the girls flying

"Ugghhh." They groaned

"CHIE! IYUMI!" Yukiko shouts

"Too bad, I thought Chie and Iyumi would save me but..."

"Just the way it is...." chie said in the past

"they didn't save me, neither were my prince at all" the shadow lectured as iyumi helped chie back up "I waited...." flames spurt out from the chandelier the shadow was in "Aw crap!" Yosuke said noticing the flames. "For so....."

"Pyro Jack!"  Narukami yelled raising his hand "Very....very!...LONG!" The shadow yelled and the candles on her cage exploded, Izanagi transformed into Pyro Jack again, and begin absorbing the fire coming towards Chie and Iyumi " yukiko!

"Your right." Narukami said and they all look at him. "Maybe Chie and iyumi, really aren't your princes, but is that really all important?."

"What?" The shadow asked

"They both came all this way and risked their life to save Yukiko, I think that's pretty good proof that they do care, what more could They have done?" He questioned

"Narukami.." Chie whispers wide eyed

"I..." The shadow said and they all look at her "I have heard ENOUGH!" The shadow said burst the cage door open, sending out a massive flames to them, Pyro Jack wad having a hard time absorbing all of the flames.  "Gah!" Narukami shielded his face from the flames "We can't get near her!" Yosuke grunted cover his faces from the flames.

"Yukiko." Chie said standing up

"Chie, Iyumi, get out of here." She whimpered as they walked towards her "Yukiko, we won't leave you" Iyumi stated"Listen, I have to tell you something very important." Chie said but was almost hit by the flames " Medusa!"Iyumi yelled, she rushed over to protected Chie and protected her while they walked over to yukiko "This isn't easy....You see I've always been jealous of you and Iyumi..."

Flash back

In exams

Amano
Yukiko: third place

Tanba
Iyumi: first place

Chie looked over saw yukiko and Iyumi talking with one of the teachers, then the memory of them being talk to by those two boys "you both had everything.... and I had.....nothing" she frowned and marched over to them "that's why I loved how you guys depended on me, you actually needed something I had, I liked believing that I needed to be there for you, it gave me a purpose." Chie said.

" thanks so much chie" she turned to the two and smiled

Flash back

"Exactly, I can't do anything on my own, I'm helpless!" The shadow said or shouted as real yukiko shook "Shut up! That's not true!" Iyumi shouts. " *gasp* " Yukiko gasps "She's right, Yukiko you are one of the strongest people we know, you wanna escape? then do it! you can break free of that cage all on you own! leave there and go wherever you want! You've gotta listen to us, we know you can do this!." Chie shouts.

"Your wrong Chie, I can't, I'm far too weak to leave, the same was true then..." she said referring to when her bird left "the same was true then...The truth is I wasn't heart broken, I was mortified, The bird I thought was trapped like me....got up and flew away all on it's own...I admit I did forget to unlock the cage door....but the bird mustered the courage it needed to open the door on its own.., It's a truth I don't want to acknowledge, I'm not strong enough! I am weak! and that's pathetic, I'm such a horrible coward! I waited up for someone to come and save me--" She said but was cut off by Chie.

"So what! You were scared *cough* *Cough* " Chie said falling to her knees again, as did Iyumi "Guys!" Yukiko shouts. "There are parts of me that I'm not proud of either..." Iyumi grunted " me too..." chie grit her teeth "horrible things that I'm ashamed of! but they don't matter!" She yelled as tears leaked down yukiko's cheeks "Listen we'll always be there for you, that's a promise, because you'll always be our friend!" Chie said standing and holding her hand out to the her, as did Iyumi

"Chie..Iyumi..." Yukiko said smiling. "STOP IT!" The shadow shouted sending a massive amount of flames to Chie, but luckily Medusa protected her and Iyumi "I said STOP!" It shrieked

"What was I so afraid of?....There was nothing to fear, I have everything I need." yukiko muttered, getting up, and placing her hands on the cage and broke out of her cage "Chie! Iyumi!" She said jumping towards them "Yukiko!"the two said holding out their  hands, She grab onto them and hugs them both. "Thank you." She said

"NOOOO!" The shadow shouts flies up, it's state turning sparking statically "The Shadow's going weaker! Now's your chance!" Teddie exclaimed  "You know what that means pal!" Yosuke said. "Yeah let's go!" Yu shouted "Pyro Jack!" Yu shouts, Pyro Jack make his way to the shadow and absorb her flames. "What!? What are you?! Stop it!? get away from me you nuisance! NOO! stop it!" The shadow said as Pyro jack chase her up the sky. "Now Yosuke!" Iyumi shout. "Hyaaah!" Yosuke shouts as Jiraya flies down onto the Shadow while punching kneeing her back. "UGH!"

"Medusa!" Iyumi shout as Medusa Summons rocks that rained down on the shadow " AHHH!!!!!"

"Go Chie!" Narukami shouts. "Finish her off!" Yosuke shouts." kick her butt!" Iyumi smirks

"HAAAAAAAH! BEAT IT!" Chie battle cries as Tomoe flies up to the shadow and punches it.

"AAAAHHHHHH!" the shadow cries while being sent flying, The shadow makes contact with the roof and explodes making it rain pink or red feathers "Chie...Iyumi..." Yukiko said catching their attention "I'm so sorrry Yukiko, I was so wrapped up in my own problems that I didn't notice the things that were, bothering you, And I really should have." Chie  says eyes shut

" me too..." Iyumi says

"It's ok, I didn't even notice the things bothering you two either, I just wanted to escape." She replied and looked to her shadow"You see that's why I wanted to create you." She says walking over to her Shadow "I'm sorry I didn't acknowledge your voice before" grabbing her hands "your right, I did want to leave and escape, it's true and how I felt deeply inside." She said and hugged her other self "You are a part of me."  the shadow nodded and a blue light surrounded her, The shadow the transformed into a Persona, part bird, but with a human body, but not at all scary"So I guess that's yukiko's persona" Yusuke saysShe glowed and turns into a tarot card that floats down to her, yukiko catches it "gasp* Yukiko!" Chie and Iyumi catch her as she was about to fall "What's wrong?!" Yosuke asked

"Are you alright?!" Yu asked

"Yeah just a little tired." She said. "You all came here to save me?" She asked standing up

"Yeah of course." Iyumi said.

"Thanks you guys." She said smiling

"So who's the grizzly that dumped you here in the first place?" Teddie asks, The girl looks at him while Teddie smile at her. "What, who are you or what are you?" Yukiko asked confused

"Oh I'm beary much a bear!" He chimed waving a hand

"I'm sorry I'm not quite following." The girl said looking at him confused " see that, everything you do causes confusion! So just zip it!" Yusuke frowns hands on his hips The two started arguing "your agression is unbearable!" Teddie snapped "Look I really wanna find out who did this to her, but let's get out of here first, Yukikos looking too good." Chie said supporting Yukiko "Yeah your right, she needs her rest." lyumi said. "Yeah let's go." Yu said and the teens start to walk away but Teddie yells "Whaaat?! you guys are just gonna abandon me?!"

"Abandon you? How is that possible? Don't you live here?" Yosuke asked

"Okay you have a point...i just.." Teddie said looking a little depressed

"Oh I'm sorry, I'll come back later and give you a proper thank you, but until then be a good boy ok." Yukiko said petting Teddie "B-Beary Nice! Yukiko is Beary nice!" Teddie said twirling around with a blush on his face "For that I'm gonna give you a special present." Teddie said and handed Yukiko one of his mustache glasses

"Ahaha! Yukiko." Chie said laughing with Iyumi as Yukiko placed the moustache glasses on "Oh I see, it's like the glasses your wearing, they're great they even have a nose guard." Yukiko says "Yeah aren't you lucky." Chie said with a bit of sarcasm. "Those things aren't gonna protect you the shadows are dangerous." Yosuke said sweat dropping "So how do I look?" Yukiko said looking at Yu. "Um...great I guess." Narukami said sweat dropping "Here Chie you try them." Yukiko said and handed the glasses to her

"Ehh...this is a notable turn of events" she taking off her glasses and put the pair yukiko gave "Umph, pfft, HAHAHAHAHA!" Yukiko suddenly laughs, while, Chie and Yu sweatdropped "she's having one of here laughing fits again...and here I thought she only did this in front of me and Iyumi." Chie said, Iyumi stiffened before letting out her laughter " Iyumi! Not you too!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Settle down now guys!" Chie said " besides~Iyumi! Your turn!" She smirks

" what?! No-" she protests

Small time skip

Iyumi was now wearing the glasses with the moustache with a pout, yukiko and chie stiffened from laughing" don't. You. Dare" she warned them, Both couldn't contain it and just started laugh, Even teddie and yusuke, Iyumi groaned while sulking with her head low " you guys suck..." Yu pat her shoulder reassuringly But she smiles, she loved being around her friends, made all those times she spent alone fade away
