Title: Awakening

a.k.a Mitake Ran's first transformation as a persona user. Inspired by the fic inspired by "Vow of the Orchid" by PtRanlover12.

Mitake Ran didn't really have a great year. She tried to save Himari, only for her friend to fall down the stairs, all because she dragged her to escape from Kamoshida’s abuse. Her dearest childhood friend, Uehara Himari was hospitalised for three months, she couldn't do anything. She was betrayed by the world. She couldn't take it. Until on that fateful day, she went to a weird place, a large grotesque castle, weird guards took her to a jail cell, and she met Kamoshida but with a weird-speedo-king outfit that would gross her out till centuries come. He taunted her, and she was mad. Who wouldn't be, but yet she felt different.

She felt herself thrumming in anger, as if she wanted to lash out. The more he taunted, but she still stood in anger, holding her ground. That is until he called her “that girl”.

“That Girl,” she couldn't believe it, Himari was just one of his playthings. He didn't bother to remember Himari, or what he had done. Afterglow fell because of him, Himari suffered because of him.

“How dare you. . .” Ran’s eyes shoot in anger. “You don't know her name do you. . .”

His answer was proof that Himari was nothing more but a plaything. When he told that her time was over. Dread fills her every being.

She was now beaten up, on the floor, weak. Helpless against Kamoshida, on the verge of dying. Until she felt it, that thrumming feeling, she felt anger, betrayal, frustration, she felt like those days when she chose to pour her feelings to her lyrics. She was angry, she'll use that anger, “I’ll make you eat your words, you son of a bitch!” Her eyes were snarling in unending anger. This is for Himari, for everyone in Afterglow.

Then, she felt her head pounding, an unimaginable pain as if rocks had gone into her head. A migraine, or was it. She heard a voice in her head, she felt her dearest childhood friends, Afterglow.

“You finally show your true colour,” Ran’s eyes widened at the voice. Her hands grabbing her hair in pain, she never felt this pain in her life. Before she knew it she was screaming in pain.

“Will you act as if nothing has happened, for the sake of your so-called ‘Same as Always’,” The voice asked, they felt familiar. Was it Tomoe? Moca? Himari? Tsugu? Or was it all of them at once, she couldn't tell. These voice(s) are just so familiar. Her head hurts like a brick falling on her head. “Or do you want him to feel the same pain as ‘we’ did?”

The ‘we’ sounded more like Himari. It added, “You know you wanted revenge, why not take it?”

“I won't forgive him. . .” Ran’s voice rasped, amidst the pain she felt. But her anger overpowered it all, “I WON'T FORGIVE HIM! I won't forgive him. . .for what he has done. . .to Afterglow. . .to Himari,”

The voice sounded amused, as if it liked her reaction, “Yes, that voice, that anger in the eyes. . .that is more like you. . .Never forget that day, for what he has done. Never forget your friend's cries,”

She remembered Tsugumi’s worry, Tomoe’s frustration of what's going on, Moca’s guitar playing with a sound of uncertainty, and Himari’s cries. She remembered Himari on the floor, unconscious, telling the girl to wake up.

She felt her hands tied to a fist, she gave a growl, “Give me. . .your power. . .”

That is then the pain stopped.

She stood up, no longer on the floor, pushing herself up. Her eyes glowing in anger and power, she felt her own determination, her body was powering up, it was thrumming with energy.

“Very well, there's no time for hesitation. Vow to me. . .” She felt a mask on her face, she opened it, it was painful, but she was filled with adrenaline. She wouldn't let pain stop her for her revenge against Kamoshida. Her determination grows every second she rips the mask, she felt blood on her face, but she didn't care.

“. . .I am thou, thou art I, thou art willing to square backeth, to alloweth yond ang'r fest'r upon thee and feedeth upon thee to square backeth. Turneth t into thy pow'r to avenge those who is't thee holdeth lief . . .”

She finally removed the mask. She looked at it, a beautiful black phantom mask covered in golden outlines of sasanqua and orchids. Her face covered in blood, and her eyes now brimming in yellow-gold. She felt relieved, she felt free.

She looks at Kamoshida, her eyes glares at him in fury ablaze, “You took everything from us. . .I will never forgive you,”

“All that show just to say your last words, and here I thought you would do something else. Guards. . .end her,”

A wind gushed from behind her, knocking them down, eliminating them for good. Kamoshida's eyes widened in fear, “No. . .not again!”

Blue fire surrounds her quickly rising to her chest, before covering her fully. The fire and the wind fully died down, as Mitake Ran was now seen no longer on her Haneoka school uniform. She was now seen with a long leather jacket almost to her , with black turtleneck crop top, black short skort, a pair of leather straps on her left thigh, and long knee-high combat boots. Her neck has a black choker, and her hands are covered with black long mitt gloves. Her style is nothing more than black-red punk, as she unsheathed her katana, her eyes still glowing yellow.

But that's not the only thing, at her back, was a feminine being with Chinese-warrior esque, covered in armour and a ponytail hairstyle. It cannot be seen, but that's not all. It's demeanour shows she is not to be trifled with, like its user. She was Mitake Ran’s persona.

Ran aimed her katana to Kamosida's throat, her eyes back to it's normal pink colour. She gave him a glare looking him in the eye, “I know what I can do now and like I said I will never forgive what you have done, to my friends,”

“With this, it will be your end,” Ran said, “Mulan, Agi!”

Notes: Did you like it? I think Mulan would be a great fix for Ran's persona. Especially since the story seems fitting to her, as well as her dedication to her friends and family. Oh noted down, this story is post Tied to the Skies.

I hope you like it! Take care and have a great day!

Bandori X Persona 5 Crossover

Title: Post Awakening

A.k.a Mitake Ran's post awakening as a persona user. She reflects on everything and Moca is always there to lend an ear or two. Inspired by "Vow of the Orchid" by PtRanlover12.

She couldn't take their disappointed faces. She was tired, she would go to bed for days if this keeps happening. But she couldn't, what was that? What really happened today? Was it truly a hallucination?

Ran falls to her bed, as she breathes heavily from the tiredness of the whole day. After her awakening, she destroyed most of Kamosida's guards, and escaped, her body was weak, and she was lucky to find a humanoid-catlike being.

The cat, by the name Morgana, explained the existence of palace, shadows, personas. It was many things, she didn't have any questions about that, nor she doubts she cares about that.

But, when she came back, she thought she could escape from them. Turns out, she didn't get any luck. Moca, Tomoe, and Tsugumi, were all worried about her. She couldn't tell them the truth, so she had to lie, it pains her, especially since they are her childhood friends. But she couldn't tell them.

She saw her guitar, her heart felt hurt.

She missed those times. . .those band days, playing the guitar, doing live at CIRCLE. But then she couldn't bring it to play the guitar, without remembering what happened to Himari. It was her fault that happened, she could've just listened to Himari, she would have paid attention. Himari had to pay for her mistake. Ran couldn't beat it. She couldn't play the guitar nor do flower arranging.

Ran can only cry. A few hours ago she would feel so powerful, she would destroy everything in her way, with her persona. But now, she felt like falling apart, she felt like crying, screaming in frustration. Her body felt weak, she could only sob as her face looked at the white ceiling.

Then a ring from her phone broke her from her trance. From her unending chain of self-pity and sorrow. She willed herself to wake up, and took her phone, she answered, who turns out to be Moca.

“Moshi moshi~! Raaaaaaan, are you okay~?” Moca said, she sounded the same as always. Ran wouldn't lie, it made her smile a bit.

“Moca, it's late, what are you calling at this time?” Ran controlled her tone, hiding her cries inside.

“Mooooo, that's because I missed you~!” Moca said lazily, “I went to buy so much bread from the Yamabuki Bakery. I have so many coupons and they have a sale today,”

Ran chuckled, Moca always buys bread from the Yamabuki Bakery. She always seemed to love buying bread, almost visiting every time they are together, and after rehearsals. A pang of guilt went to her.

“Afterglow. . .” She thought. The band has been on a hiatus for three months now. After the incident with Himari, all the concerts were cancelled. She remembered Himari is getting therapy, which is a good thing, but she is still hospitalised.

“Neeee~! Ran, are you there?” Moca asked, in which Ran answer, “Ah, sorry, just thinking,”

Ran could feel Moca’s frown, she knew her for years after all. Tomoe and Himari would say that they are one mind in two bodies. “Himari. . .” Ran looks down sadly.

“Ran. . .it isn't your fault,” Moca suddenly said, making Ran's eyes widened. Moca knows?

Ran felt herself crying, she couldn't stop the overflowing emotion. Her heart felt painful, and her eyes kept flowing tears to her cheeks. “B-but I could've been paying attention, I could've. . .I would have listened to her, and nothing like this would happen. . .Himari, would not be in the hospital, suffering because I dragged her,”

“Ran. . .it is not your fault. . . Kamoshida. . Hii-chan would be sad if you blame yourself,” Moca said, “Ran. . .How about I bring bread for Hii-chan tomorrow?”

Just like Moca to change the subject, she knows her too much.

“Moca. . .thank you,”

“See you tomorrow. . .Ran,”

The call was closed and Ran lay down on the bed once again. “It wasn't my fault. . .Moca, I know that you. . .I'm sorry, but it feels like it's my fault. . .that everything is not the same as always,”

She once again lay down, her body relaxed under the covers of her blanket. Mitake Ran, her eyes tired from all the chaos happening today. But she too knew that, she could never forgive herself for what happened to Himari.

Notes: How was it? Was it to emoi for you~? Kidding kidding. I personally really love Ran's Character, although she is a bit complicated as it is. I would like to hear your opinions, if you're okay. Maybe I'll also cross-post these stories in Wattpad & AO3. Oh my AO3 acc is Kazarinoyume, not sure which acc I'll use at Wattpad. Anyways, take care!
