Thinking about finally getting around to that Phantom Spider v. Sovereign drabble that's been sitting in the back of my mind for months.

#q'd #out of costume - volt ooc; #I'm not sure how much sense it would make as they're be tons of references to events that no one is aware of but me #but I think i could maybe make it work #this whole thing is equal parts two friends reconciling after tramua as it is super hero tries to stop corrupted friend from being evil #they're fighting with their words as much as they are their fists which is why it's so interesting to me

[altered-personas]

I swear I haven't forgotten about this account. It's just with the move and everything, it's difficult to maintain muse for more than just Aaron.

After I'm settled in at the new place, I'll start working on stuff here again. Gonna try to follow through on adding Akechi too, though that'll take a bit longer, at least for him to be added full time.

Hopefully, everything goes well... I'm doubtful, but I suppose there's a first time for everything

She scoffed. Despite the two bizarre creatures, she wasn't even the least bit intimidated. After all... she was a bit of a monster herself.

'Don't charge into a fight just yet.' She warned her other. 'We need to know what we're dealing with.'

Tch- As if these pathetic children's toys could ever hold a candle to me.

This was the trade off to her power. In order to get her suit to behave, she had agreed to let it take the reigns when they were on the job. There were exceptions to this, namely whenever her teammates were involved, but for the most part when the suit was on, she was just along for the ride, acting as nothing more than its conscience, an angel riding on the shoulder of a demon.

"I am power, little man." She replied finally, her voice more of an angered growl than actual words, as if she was insulted by the very idea that she needed to rely on anything. "You would be wise to remember that."

"At least... should you wish to keep your head."

'No! No! NO! We are not killing ANYONE! You promised!'

Oh relax. I wasn't actually going to-

'Thank goodness...'

... so long as he doesn't give me a reason to.

'VEE! Don't make me take the wheel!'

Fine... Killjoy-

"... look, can you just get to the point already? You're boring me to tears."

@altered-personas

"My, aren't you impressive?" The bandaged man spoke almost dismissively, like he was feeling entirely casual about this meeting. Odd, given that she was sorta a superhero, and he looked very much like a supervillain.

But then, he was being guarded by what looked like two monsters out of a sentai, one based on a knife, the other on a hammer. And both of them were hardly a joke to deal with. At least they weren't attacking!

"You know, I suspect we may be birds of a feather, in a sense. You're also someone whose power comes from other things, something that's a part of you but not of you, correct?"

FINALLY

Made some expressions for Sovereign that I'm actually kinda proud of

Might tweak the first one a bit, but I'm happy with it as is for now. Not done making these tho. Got a couple more expressions I wanna make, but I'm glad to finally have SOMETHING to use on @altered-personas for her in-costume.

Once I'm done with these, I'm gonna focus on making stuff for Akechi, so he can go from test muse to full-on muse.

... which will take a while, since he requires double the art and edits for obvious reasons-

Controlled Shock

[Closed Starter for @fatexbound's Ryuji]

She hated this stupid suit. She hated what it did to her, how easy it was to lose control. She hated how it had made her attack her friends. Worst of all, she hated that she was forced to use it. The damn thing had bonded not only with her, but with her Persona. And now she had to put it on every time they went into the Metaverse if she wanted to be of any use.

Which brought her mind back to the subject of this outing.

She needed practice, needed to be able to keep the suit in check, lest she become a liability to the team. The last thing she wanted was to lose control during an infiltration, and lash out against the them. Or worse, kill their target's shadow.

So, she'd asked Ryuji, and only Ryuji, to meet her in front of the subway entrance they used to enter Mementos. Less people meant less of a chance for something to set her off, either through mild frustrations or simply getting in her way. Before these were slight annoyances at worst. Now they could be extremely infuriating, like the suit was looking for any reason to go on the attack.

As for why Ryuji specifically? Well, as much as she trusted him, she didn't want Ren to know how much she'd been struggling with this. He had enough on his plate as is. That... and the suit had changed her Persona's weakness from Psychic... to Electricity.

So if it came down to it-

Well, it was probably best not to dwell on that. She'd bring it up with him when he got here, of course. But she needed to be confident in her ability to control the thing. It preyed on the weaknesses of the mind, after all.

This is sssstupid. The suit said in her mind, speaking in her voice, albeit in a much more menacing tone. I do not need a leash. We are a much more effective weapon without such restrictions.

'Effective, yes. But uncontrollable and imprecise. If I can't control our actions on the field, then we won't be doing anything but warming the bench. And I doubt you would enjoy that any more than I would.'

... Fine. I'll go along with your little exercise. But this had better not bore me. I abhor having our time wasted.

"Ah, perfect timing."

When he arrived, she greeted him with a smile, all the while mentally preparing herself for the task ahead.

"Sorry for calling you here on such short notice, but there's something I need your help with."

Like this for a random starter from Sovereign?

Might help me get the motivation to make more expressions for her too. I currently only have two of her in the suit, and they both need tweaks before I use them.

"... why on earth is everyone talking about worms?"

If I had to guess, it's because they relate to their weakness... or sheer boredom. Both seem likely.

"I'm sure there's a better reason than that-"

Nono. Just those two. Nothing else would make sense.

[altered-personas]

So because I felt like it, and I've been listening to this song a lot, this is basically the song for when Sovereign is out of control and is fighting against the team, more specifically the final battle when it's down to just Aaron.

The main lyrics fit Sovereign perfectly, especially with her mindset at the time, while the chorus is Aaron holding his ground against her onslaught (though those lyrics don't match up as well)

I also see the ending as, after Makoto says something about him turning his back on her, Aaron just drops his weapon and apologizes, trying one last time to get through to her... which works of course.

I dunno, I just really like this song and thinks it fits the scene PERFECTLY

#Out of Costume - Volt OOC; #Sovereignty Now - Makoto Musings; #Nuclear Emissions Jam - Makoto's Playlist; #Youtube

[altered-personas]

Makoto has... complicated feelings on Shadows, at least in the main verse.

At the end of the first semester, a Shadow stabbed her father through the chest right in front of her. Naturally, that event scarred her for life.

Now whenever she sees one, which in the main verse is rare, she will do one of two things. Either have a panic attack shaking in fear at the sight of the thing, or if she's wearing the symbiote, she'll go into an uncontrollable rage, lashing out at everything in a murderous rampage until every shadow in the area is dead... while also having a bit of a panic attack-

Though even without the suit, she's far from helpless in that state, she will fight back if she has to. But she'd much rather get away from it as soon as possible, as seeing them triggers her PTSD

This can be dealt with if she has friends nearby, people she knows and trusts, though with the suit on that's easier said than done. She will lash out at them at first, and it'll take a while to really calm her down.

This doesn't apply to human shadows, however. As in the shadow of an actual person. Only their more monstrous forms/shadows from the collective unconscious will trigger this. She still doesn't like human shadows, but she can tolerate them enough not to kill them. If they transform however, her teammates are going to have to hold her back.

As for which specific Shadow killed her father, I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards Jack-o-lantern, since that's the name of an actual Spider-Man villain, who funnily enough has history with Venom (especially Agent Venom, who's a big inspiration for Sovereign).

Though if I did go with that, it'd be an augmented Jack-o-lantern, made stronger by Yaldabaoth when it was sent through to the real world, just so it can not only be closer to the villain, but also be an actual threat. (In game Jack-o-lanterns aren't exactly tough... and they don't have anything to stab with-)

"You have a Persona too??"

That was a surprise. Aaron hadn't said much about Jowi's abilities, but she was sure he'd have mentioned THAT.

"Actually, the arguing with your Persona thing seems to be exclusive to Aaron, though the exact reason for that is a bit of a mystery to us all. From what he's told me, even Arséne doesn't quite know why he and Aaron fight so much."

"My issue isn't with my Persona, it's with... this suit. Though because I require it to use my Personas, I can see why you'd think that. Even I fail to see the difference between them at times."

"At first, it... didn't say anything. It was quiet for quite sometime in fact. But the longer I wore it, the more it started to... reflect my more aggressive tendencies. And now, even though I'm back in control of myself again, it's still the same, speaking in that same frustrated hiss I used back then."

The suit was her at her worst, always whispering in her ear, echoing her insecurities, trying to make her feel worthless, tempting to her to give in, to lose herself to its power again.

"I don't... I don't like wearing it, but I don't have much choice. Things are bad right now, and I need its power to help. But... I do take breaks from it. It's a little painful to take off, but it's worth it not to hear it in my head for a while. And when it's not in contact with me, it's stuck as a harmless little mask, so I don't have to worry about it when I'm away."

It could still talk to her if she was close enough while it was inert, but its voice was much quieter. Easier to ignore.

"The only reason I'm still wearing it right now is because I just got back from patrol, and the process of removing it is... unpleasant to say the least. It takes a while, and I didn't want to keep you waiting."

It seemed to get harder to take off each time, like the suit was fighting her, trying a lot harder to stay bonded. It didn't like being away from its host.

"But that's enough about us, I think-"

She listened intently to his words. His explanation of planes made sense, though it did raise more questions about whether those planes had their own version of space, or if those planes were more self contained. And if the latter was the case, how come their plane wasn't like that?

The Phyrexia matter, while terrifying in its own right, did make her feel a little better about her own situation. At least her suit let her keep her free will and personality.

"He explained as much after the fact. He has his issues, but lying isn't one of them, at least when it comes to us. A-as in our team, not me and the symbiote-"

She was still concerned about it, though. While Aaron was confident the other's costumes would protect them from infection, himself included, that didn't apply to her. Her suit wasn't made of the same stuff, and wasn't effected by cognition in the same way. He'd said he'd try to find a solution, but she was a little worried. She just hoped that either he'd find one in time, or that they'd never have to worry about it.

The latter didn't seem likely, given their track record-

However, his last statement peaked her interest. He could get into the Metaverse!? She thought it was inaccessible. That's why this whole nonsense of with the serum, and ShidoCorp's various experiments even existed. The only thing they'd managed to do was pull out the substance they made the symbiotes from.

A thought quickly came to mind, and while at first she disregarding it, seeing it as... petty, his words about breaking fate brought it back stronger. She had a chance, a chance for closure, a chance she never thought she'd have.

She had to take it.

"You said you could go into the Metaverse, right?"

She stood up from her seat, her calm and quiet demeanor replaced with a fierce determination.

"If that's true... then I need a favor."

Her suit formed around her, though forgoing the mask for the moment, her clothes, which had actually been the symbiote in disguise, morphed into the form more suited for battle.

The suit didn't voice it, but it was very pleased with her right now.

"I need you take us inside. We have unfinished business to attend to."

The shadow that killed her father was in there somewhere. She didn't know where it was, or what it was doing, but she didn't care.

It was still alive. And she would hunt it down until she could correct that.

“It’s okay… I guess you and Aaron have the same problem. Arguing with your personas and all. Mine never says anything. Wonder why you two have so much trouble. But I don’t think I’m necessarily pulled towards inactive sparks, at least not to my knowledge. I think it might be the other way around.” He thought aloud, though not loud enough for anyone else to hear,

“And… I guess I should explain. Dominaria is a plane, just like how we are on the plane of Gaia. Think of planes as planets and the Blind Eternities as the space between them. Now, you can technically go and visit other planets just fine, but you’d need something to protect you from space, right? Think of a Spark as being like… a space ship. There’s a lot more to it than that, but… it’ll have to do for now. Dominaria is a really important plane. It’s kinda… like the center of the multiverse, I guess? Or I guess it used to be? Anyway, it’s just the name of the planet you end up on when you planeswalk there. It’s got it’s own continents, countries, governments, oceans. Full package.”

He shook his head, “And he was fighting something called Phyrexia. Something so unfathomably evil that the fear of it bleeds between planes. Any time you see the theme of a machine army replacing organic matter with metal parts in stories… that’s a pale imitation of the hell Phyrexia is. I’ll spare you any further details, it only gets worse the more you learn about it. Just know this. If anyone you know ever gets infected? They aren’t your friend any more. You have to kill them. When Aaron had you all gather around, and look at that vial of halo? It was to check that none of you had been touched by the oil. But as it currently stands, I’m pretty sure that they haven’t managed to breach into our world yet. Didn’t find anything in the metaverse either.”

As he finished, he finally leaned back in the booth,

“But one last thing on the topic of fate. It’s only as real as you let it be. Our plane doesn’t have and doesn’t need any gods to tell us what to do. If you just sit by and let life happen to you, even if fate isn’t real on our world, you may as well be following it. Take control of your life and refuse to be ruled by fate, and you can do anything. Besides, just being around a planeswalker is enough to start breaking destiny.”

Something that I'm simultaneously excited and scared to write is a fight scene with Sovereign, just because of how I picture her combat style.

Of course, you have your basics. She can do everything canon Makoto can do, and everything Venom/Symbiote Spider-Man can do. And you can bet I'm going to be HEAVILY referencing moves from Web of Shadows, Ultimate Spider-Man, Shattered Dimensions, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 when that comes out.

But what makes her interesting is that at any time, on any part of her suit, she can summon her persona, creating it out of the suit. Not only that, but she can summon it in pieces. And because she has access to both Johanna and Anat, that means she can deck you in the face with a giant robot fist, but then slam down one of Johanna's tires onto you and rev the engine to grind her enemies into the pavement.

And she can do it all seamlessly, stringing her attacks and form changes together like a high tier fighting game character.

Sovereign is a brutal opponent, even when she's got full control of the suit. Anyone who faces her will be lucky to walk away with only a few broken bones.

There's just so much potential for creative fight scenes with a skill set like this... but I also don't want it to be too overpowered, nor do I want to leave that potential untapped, so there's a little bit of pressure to get it right.

Either way, I'm sure it'll be a ton of fun once I get the hang of it

"I see... By shields, I assume you mean magic based ones? I apologize, this stuff is a little hard to follow at times..."

Which was actually a little embarrassing to admit. Usually she was able to pick up on things rather quickly, but this... this was a bit beyond her usual fields of study.

She was a bit surprised by his ability to ignore fate. For one thing, that confirmed that fate, was in fact, a real thing. (Which immediately raised several questions regarding the fates of her and her friends, and what could be setting up the dominoes to fall as they had, but one thing at a time) For another, not only did fate not effect him, but he could interfere with the fates of others.

"That's... a rather hard topic to grasp. To have confirmation that fate exists is... honestly, I don't quite know how to feel about that. Especially considering... recent events."

I find the topic disgusting. I'd only just cut your old strings, and now we find that there's someone else pulling new ones. I am NO ONE'S puppet.

She sighed. She was still getting used to this. This... other voice in her head. Usually it stayed quiet when they weren't on the job, but sometimes it would see fit to interject its own thought, thoughts derived from what she viewed as the worst part of herself.

And the sad thing was... she kind of agreed with it here.

I say we find this supposed God, and wrap some strings of our own around their neck!

'I'm trying to have a conversation here.'

And I'm trying to get you more control of your life! This is not something we can wait upon! GOD. NEEDS. TO DIE!!

'We are not. killing. anyone. Don't make me get the taser-'

The suit let out a low and subtle hiss, so quiet it could easily be dismissed among the usual sounds of the café.

... fine.

"... sorry about that. I'm still... adjusting to this. Please continue."

She supposed that explanation made sense, of their being a subtle pull towards other planeswalkers. Perhaps their sparks attracted each other. Though that did raise an interesting question.

"You said it was possible that someone you know could be a potential planeswalker. Does that mean your spark is pulled towards inactive ones, or is there something else that makes you think that?"

His next answer did cause her head to spin for a bit. She was following along at first, but the further he got, the more terms he used that she just had no context for. Blind Eternities? Dominaria?? He'd used that last one before, but she still had no clue what it was. Honestly, this whole experience was starting to give her flashbacks to the time she'd asked Aaron to explain American comics to her. Flashbacks and a headache-

So many Crises...

"I... think I understood that, but... I'm sorry, I think I need a little more context on most of it."

"Who's Urza? What evil was he trying to destroy? Why'd he have to tear apart the multiverse to do it? And what on Earth are the Blind Eternities and Dominaria??"

Again, it was really embarrassing to have to ask this. She was usually such a fast learner, but this stuff gave her a headache. She supposed it would be different if she had actually been to some of these other worlds, talked to some of the people that had been through these events. Something to make it feel like real history.

As is, this history was so far removed from the world she knew that it might as well have been science fiction.

“Completely random. The people who have sparks might not even be anyone particularly notable or talented until they awaken their sparks. But once you have your Spark active… you’re a hell of a lot more powerful. I met a guy like that the first time I walked. He was actually considered below average at magic until he got his spark. Now he makes some of the best shields I’ve ever seen.”

He finished his tea, drinking it down in a single gulp, “Fate doesn’t really apply to planeswalkers. In fact, we actively reject it. Not long ago, I made some actual gods very angry on another plane for interfering with the fate of a bunch of people. No, what draws planeswalkers together is like… a sixth sense. When there’s another planeswalker around, you can feel it, you know? Like a hand reaching out to touch you from their direction. And being the naturally curious people we are… we can’t ignore something like that.”

When she finally asked about the deporting of planeswalkers 60 years ago, he shook his head,

“The Great Mending. The multiverse was a very different place back then. Technology existed to make portals between planes, and anyone could pass freely between planes. Planeswalkers commanded almost infinite power, and at the top of them all, stood Urza. A man so unbelievably powerful that he could no longer be called human. In his quest to destroy the evil that turned his brother against him, he tore the multiverse asunder, opening tears in space and time. Eventually, this caused the multiverse to begin falling apart. Planeswalkers we’re far too powerful, and it could no longer bear the weight of that power. So, in an effort to save everything, the great rifts were closed, causing a shockwave across the Blind Eternities that changed the very nature of Sparks. Starting on Dominaria, and radiating out like a wave across the surface of water. When all was said and done, Planeswalkers had lost most of their near limitless power, and their ability to move others across planes as well.”

The sad thing is he actually wasn't trying to be cold. It was just... harder to convey emotions through text. Especially when, outside of anger, he didn't really understand them to begin with.

You should've let me write it.

"... no."

Why the hell not??

"Because I don't need you to."

He wasn't sure how to respond at first. He'd prefer not to meet up more than necessary, but... he did still need her medicine. Plus, letting his other half spend more time with her might get him to stay in line.

🕵🏻‍♂️📲 That would be lovely

🕵🏻‍♂️📲 In fact, I suggest we keep all our future meetings during the daytime when possible

🕵🏻‍♂️📲 Less darkness means it'll be less likely we'll be followed

Ugh, he hated having to sneak around like this. Running and hiding from his adversaries like a coward. If it wasn't for that god damned student council president surviving his trap, and nearly killing his symbiote with her nuclear blasts, he'd have killed that pest by now.

Why do we have to kill him? This is not what we agreed upon.

"Do I have to explain everything to you!? Spell out every minute detail for your feeble mind??"

We have the same mind-

"HE IS IN THE WAY!! We cannot get to Shido as long as he lives!"

And we needed to go after his girlfriend to achieve that? She had nothing to do with our goals. She had no powers, no means to stop us. If anything, all you've done is create another obstacle for us-

"I will not be questioned by you and your inane moral code. You agreed to do this my way, so we're doing it MY. WAY."

I agreed that Shido needed to pay! But ever since we put on that suit, you've been getting sidetracked by your damn ego, and getting petty revenge on-

"I'LL DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT!!"

His symbiote formed around him, silencing his other half for the time being.

"Finally... Peace and quiet."

He settled in on the couch, preparing to get some sleep, now that he didn't have that weakling shouting in his brain. He did agree to meet Mikan for breakfast after all. ______________________

Despite being silenced, Goro could still think, could still try to process things, separately from his other Persona. He didn't used to be like this. He hadn't always been aware of his other self, but when he'd first discovered him, he was less cruel and more... cold. Uncaring. More focused on carrying out his goals by any means necessary.

But now? Now the suit had slowly made him more sadistic, more bloodthirsty, and made it easier to suppress his other side. Outside of his time with Mikan, Goro rarely got to control his body anymore, his inner voice quieted until he was naught but a whisper, if even that.

Loki was in command now, and as long as he had this suit, it would likely remain that way.

Sure, eventually they'd get their revenge on Shido. With the power the suit offered, they were almost unstoppable. But at what cost?

He was always so cold in his texts. She assumed it was just how he was, but the neurotic side of her couldn't help but think he was angry with her. He did say she should get rid of the Spider. Maybe getting him to retreat wasn't good enough.

She crawled onto the small examination cot in the clinic and curled in on herself, yawning and rereading his texts for the fourth or fifth time.

🚑📲 Thank you 💕

🚑📲 Have a good night, Goro.

🚑📲 Can we meet up again tomorrow morning?

🚑📲 I'll buy breakfast.

He saw her message, and needless to say he was a bit disappointed... though it was to be expected. She was still rather green when it came to these matters.

She got him to retreat though. For her first fight, that's quite the achievement.

Two Voices

Having an inner argument with themselves is kinda my schtick when it comes to muses. But I'm going to try to make each one distinct, so I'm not just using the same dynamic for every character. Venom/Whatever I decide to call her symbiote because I'm honestly not sure yet doesn't treat Makoto the same way Arséne treats Aaron for example.

Even then, Aaron, Makoto, and Akechi are the only ones I plan to do that with. Everyone else will get along with their Personas just fine.

... granted, those three I just listed are the first three characters I plan to write, but still, eventually there will be more variety here.
