//"I tried to collect just the things I was lacking
But they just slipped through the cracks in my heart
If there’s light in the world
It’s definitely not destined for me"//

//"I may be unsightly and clumsy, but
Someday I’ll fly away from here
Using the red star as my guidepost
To a place that no one’s seen before"//

//"If there’s something you want, obtain it by any means necessary
That’s the rule, and that’s how I’ve lived
Not a single person ever bothered to
Teach me the truth
I don’t expect warmth from people
There can only be one person standing in the end

I count on my fingers, the steps for this elaborate scheme
Everything’s going just as planned
If the prey is trapped, then after that
Everything will be perfect, so it’s all going well"//

There was never a moment where the world just sat still in peace. Ever since that event those five years ago, things had changed so drastically for the people who continued to live within Endymion. With the presence of supernatural entities that ran the lands at night you'd think the people would hide in their homes. But no, Endymion was a city that never slept. Perhaps this showed how resilient humanity was when it came to terms with tragedy. Though their lives were in danger, life still went on. Hiding in their homes throughout the night didn't even cross their minds as long as the Government protected them. That was the blind faith the people had in their Government, or better yet: their Saviors. As long as the Cadets did their job and protected the city from demonic threats and terrorists; life could continue on without issue.

For the previous five years, everything fell into line and that was the partial truth. The Government did protect the people and the populace; but little by little it became abit overzealous. The city was split into a number of different districts, each ran by a head directly chosen by the Queen. The Queen, herself, hardly made any contact with the populace and instead had her children and underlings provide her public image. However, the people continue to rely on the Government's man power and in the long five years to this date, they had been living more peacefully with ease of mind. Even people out of Endymion made frequent trips into the city to learn how the city was still running so efficiently in the middle of demon territory.

It became one of the most renown areas of the world, and numerous musicians and artists made their way out to visit, simply to experience the diverse culture of a city rebuilt. Of course, they also enjoyed the Suzie Q district, that was almost like a non-stop concert. Even this night, there was a famous pop idol, performing live for the people of Endymion, named Cela. Though the concert was performed by a man who's native tongue wasn't English, it still pulled in a crowd that filled the streets of Suzie Q. Little did they know something else was occurring in the back streets of the district. . .

"Zrrchzk-- Here with another report! Battle cont--zrcch--continues to rampage throughout the city! I'm right here with the action! Endymion City Cadets are working to apprehend a dangerous Psyche Terrorist here in our very streets! They've cornered him in an youth club building, and there is no sign of Julius Lamecia as of yet. The Terrorist seems to have the upper hand, as he has taken hostages. This night is special, as it is the annual anniversary for the Eternal Divide that occurred exactly five years ago on these very streets! Is there -- Ahh!"

An explosion rocked the screen, where the broadcast was currently playing from, which would cause the screen to be replaced with static. It was apparent the sounds of battle were going throughout the city, however the people didn't seem too worried. Infact, they were so dependent on the Government that they believed any threat that went against their "savior" would immediately be wiped out. Of course not everyone was so blind and ignorant to be brainwashed by the Government so easily. Those who truly freed their minds and awakened to their true selves were labeled as Psyche Terrorists. The one currently causing the scene was no different from any other. He wished for the Freedom of the city, and thus was targeted by the very people who wished to keep the city under rule.

This wasn't his first time challenging the forces of Endymion. There were many others who had fought by his side. But through each encounter with the Government's overwhelming force and training, he'd always lose those close to him. It caused him to go mad. As if there was no more hope, he decided to put his life on the line recklessly and take the lives of how many people he could before being brought down himself.. The other "Terrorists" that had once fought to Free the city were captured and "rehabilitated" into keeping the current order.

"W-Why are you doing this? We did nothing to you! Please let us go!"

The Hostages begged the gunman that stood infront of the broken windows of the building and looked upon the city streets littered with red and blue flashing lights. The giggling man raised his arm and began to take pot shots at the officers with devastating results. It was if something was powering up each shot, as cars began to explode even if barely being touched by the assault.

"Julius, we're in position on the bottom floor. Let us know when you want us to make our move. I'm ready to cut loose!"

The Cadets were gathered on the first floor, below the room the hostages were currently being held. Just a few years ago, each of them had been terrorists in their respective right. However, each were also captured by Julius and took part in the rehabilitation program to become weapons for the Government. Now they worked beneath the Prince himself to keep the city in order. They were Class 0, the elite of the elite. The police obeyed their orders, and they handled the security within the city under the Queen's direct order.

"Hold your position, Cadet. I'll handle this one. Please provide support the moment you're clear to get to the hostages."

Julius' calm voice had calmed the anxious cadets. Ever since the demons first appeared he had always been this way. And the moment he gained his abilities as a Persona-user, he was actively taking up the fight against demons and terrorists that vandalized the city. He had never seen a psyche terrorists simply destroy for the sake of destroying, however. They all had their motives, and thus he could reason with them. But this one had no reasoning, and thus needed to be forcefully removed.

"Hee Hee... Hehehe HAHAHAHA! HEHEEH !HAHAHAH!!!!!"

The Wild Gunman cackled as he continued to take pot shots at the police until they began to fall back behind cover. His attention slowly turned to the hostages; as he cracked his neck and focused his lifeless eyes upon them. It would appear they would be the next targets to this massacre he had planned for the day. And they would have surely been done for if Julius didn't make his move.

The Prince threw himself from the rooftop he had been observing the situation from. It was directly above the current building the terrorists was currently taking as his own. This free fall would kill any normal man, however Julius dived towards the roof of the building at full speed. His body seemed to be surrounded by a protective aura as he crashed through the ceiling of the building and down upon the terrorist with full force. One would think the debris would hit the hostages, however the protective aura spread out upon the room immediately; protecting everyone from harm, even the terrorist he had blind sided with full force. That very force would cause the two of them to crash through the floor and down upon the floor where the other cadets currently waited. The impact had knocked the madman unconscious, and Julius watched as his Persona vanished in an bizarre hue of light. He made sure to keep the man pinned as he looked towards his fellow cadets. This was the moment for them to go secure the hostages, and they didn't waste a second to do this.

This was another successful operation, however; Julius was very worried. This was the first man he had seen that was just so aberrant and unreadable. Why the sudden violent urge? They had clashed plenty of times before, but he was much more reasonable then. Did something happen to change the way he saw things? The Man pinched his chin and pondered this upon himself. At this point, the police were coming in to apprehend the lunatic, and the hostages were being freed for the paramedics to examine. All in all this was a mission complete and the team all made it out without any injuries. Julius gave a smug grin to his team as he flicked his hair.

"Another mission complete. Let's call it a night and head to the Maid Cafe. We may be able to make it before they close. This is the most important mission yet! I'll drive!"

Julius took off in a light jog and the rest of the cadets looked towards each other and laughed. This was their leader. Serious in combat, but easy to get along with once you had known him for awhile. Though any new recruits would need some time to see this side of him. They made sure to hurry after, not even knowing they had been under watch by a Masked Man in the crowd. Oh how ecstatic he was. Biting his lip and drawing blood just to keep his excitement down for things to come.

The past five years were all setting up for these current events. The City that never slept was soon to be in turmoil. The outcome of those events five years prior were still not settled... But then, that's where you come in..

If you can pull off a successful mimicry
I already knew from the beginning
That I’d never be able to be the real thing"//
