Chapter 1: Unexpected Day
11/14 2028
Outside Sae's Casino, the phantom thieves are waiting for their leader Akira Kirusu to come back.
"He has spaced out for 10 mins already. What's taking him so long?" Skull said. Ryuji Sakomoto. He is a second year of Shujin academy and was the leader of the track team back then. He is the brute of the team.
"I don't know. But he is taking a long time rather than usual." Panther said. Ann Takamaki. She is a second year of Shujin academy and young a model. She is the beauty of the team.
"What's he doing, I wonder" Fox said. Yusuke Kitagawa. He is a student of Kosei High School. He is an artist and the teams skill card provider.
"He said that he goes to a place to get new personas" Queen said. Makoto Niijima. A third year of Shujin academy and the school's student council president. She's the brains of the team.
"That's kinda cheating if you ask me" Oracle said. Futaba Sakura. She is a introverted person and the Navigator of the team. She also provides backup
"At least it benefits us" Noir said. Haru Okumura. The new president of Okumura industries. She provides food to keep the energy of the team high.
"Yes, but it is rather hard to believe that one could have access to a place that can "fuse" personas." Crow said. Goro Akechi (Also known as Gazuntite-kun said by The Musical Gamer). He is the Detective Prince of this generation. He is the new member of the Phantom Thieves and gives information of their current mission.
"That's why we he is our leader. Plus, the name Joker suits him with his current background" Mona said. Morgana, a anthropomorphic cat that has the ability to communicate with his teammates and has experiences to be a phantom theif. He teaches his teammates how the Metaverse works.
"For real, what's taking him so long?" Skull said. He went to Joker and yelled at him "Make it quick".
"What does he call that place again" Panther asked.
"He calls it the "Velvet Room", I think" Mona said.
"There he goes again" Skull sighed
"What does that supposed to mean" Mona said angrily.
Beginning Navigation.
Everyone was surprised when the phone reacted.
"What! Where's it taking us" Queen said
Everyone looked at their phones
"Velvet room?" Oracle said. Then the place was changing.
Meanwhile in the Velvet Room
Akira was sitting in the floor of his cell and saw that Igor was no where to be seen.
"Welcome back inmate" Caroline said
"We were surprised that you came here while our master was gone. To be honest, this was the first" Justine said
"Can I still fuse my personas even if Igor was gone?" Akira asked the twins
"It is possible, but the outcome might be different" Justine answered
"But you can still do it right?" Akira still asked, then Caroline smack the stick at his cell
"Didn't you hear her, we can but it might be different" Caroline said angrily. "So what will it be"
Then an alarm from the speakers came roaring in. "An alarm?!" Justine was surprised. Then a fog covered the entire area. When the fog lifted, The Phantom Thieves was inside the Velvet Room and Akira was wearing his Phantom suit and was outside his cell
"What is this place, why are there so many cells" Ann asked.
"Oh my, the Phantom Thieves are here." Justine said
Everyone looked at the twins. "What's wrong, why are you all loking at us" Caroline panicked
"You two look so cute in those uniforms, Can I keep them?" Futaba asked.
"There not animals Futaba" Makoto sighed. "But I have to say, you two do look cute" she said
"Joker, there you are. Where are we?" Akechi asked.
"Welcome to the Velvet Room. This place exist between dream and reality, mind and matter" Akira answered and tried to mimic Igor.
"Inmate, it is not wise to mimic our master."
"Inmate? What's the kid talking about Akira" Ryuji asked.
"It's a long story." Akira sighed.
"Velvet Room. Why are we here, we were supposed to locate the treasure" Morgana asked.
"We have no clue. Usually when someone is bound to a contract, he is free to visit the Velvet Room whenever he likes. But only him is bound to the contract, so it is impossible for all of you to be here."
"Contract, this doesn't make any sense" Ryuji said.
"Is there a way for us to get out of here?" An asked the twins.
"Usually it's his cell door, but since he is outside of it, he can't get in."
"Were stuck here" Haru asked
Justine shooked her head "That door behind you was not here before, it might lead to the outsode world" Justine said.
Akira walked to it and opened the door. It was really bright and everybody went outside.
They were suddenly outside of Shibuya, but Akira felt that something was different.
"I noticed something, that building says it's 108 but it needs to be 105" Akechi said.
"You're saying that this place is not the Shibuya we now" Ann panicked.
"Yes, the station even says Shongen-Jaya rather than Yongen-Jaya not to mention that our clothes didn't change" Akechi said. Ryuji was getting jelly when Akechi noticed faster than him.
"His right, I'm still in my usual self rather than my cat form" Morgana said.
"This is not Shibuya. What did you do inmate" Caroline said readying for his execution.
"I suggest we look around first, And I need you to cone with us inmate" Justine said
"Why are you calling him an inmate" Ryuji asked
"None of your business" Justine shot Ryuji down.
"They're right, we need to search some clues. Futaba, Noir and Yusuke, go search at the station. Ryuji and Ann, try searching at 108. Me and Akechi will search at Central Shibuya." Makoto suggested
"Since when you we're giving orders" Yusuke gestured.
"We'll just meet up here later. I'll go with him" Morgana said.
Everyone seperated and they went to the Velvet Room. The whole interior has change drastically. There were three doors, a couch and 2 guillotines.
"What happened to the Velvet Room?" Caroline was shocked. Justine approached the doors and it was lock. "As I suspected."
"So, what now?" Morgana asked.
"Me and Justine will conduct a research to this new Velvet Room, the both of you can now leave." Justine said. "Tell us if you need something okay. Here inmate, have this in case if you need healing" Caroline added
Akira grabbed 5 medicine from Caroline and left the place.
Akira saw everyone waiting for him and Morgana.
"Found anything?" Ann asked.
"That place changed" Akira told them.
"How about you guys, found anything useful?" Morgana asked
"Well, there is no cell service and everyone just ignore us" Ryuji said
"Plus we can't leave Shibuya, there's a field keeping us from the outside." Futaba said.
"But me and Akechi found a place that you all might be interested." Makoto said
"What kind of place?" Yusuke asked.
"A palace of some sorts" Akechi answered
Everyone was shocked when there was a palace on broad daylight
"A palace, but how?" Morgana asked.
"Don't know but we want Oracle to check if it is a palace" Akechi said.
"Well then, I'm ready. Let's go team". Futaba cheerfully said.
Everyone went to Central Shibuya and stopped at the café.
"Is this the place?" Ann asked.
"Yup" Makoto answered
"But it's the café" Ryuji said
"That's why we want Oracle to scan that area" Akechi said.
"I'll give it a try" Oracle. "whoah"
"What is it Futaba" Makoto asked
"There's a lot of shadows inside that café" Futaba answered.
Everyone shocked and surprised
"For real" Ryuji said.
"Well, looks like we got our mission. Sae's palace can wait. We need to solve our current situation" Morgana said
"Let's do this everyone" Akira said
Everyone agreed then suddenly
"Becareful in there" a mysterious voice said.
Everyone froze
"Who said that?" Ann asked
"Behind you" the mysterious voice answered
Everyone looked behind Ann and two foxes. The right one has dark red fur everywhere except his head was colored white and was wearing a red shirt and black pants and he was wearing a black and white headset. While the left one has red and orange fur and was wearing a red shirt with brown pants and was holding a phone.
"Monster foxes." Ryuji said.
"We are not monsters, we're just like your cat you know" the left fox said.
"My name is Stan and the other is Lava" the right fox said.
"You said you're like Morgana, would that both of you were once human?" Makoto asked.
"No." Stan said.
"We are foxes forever since." Lava said
"Do you know what's inside?" Akechi asked.
"The café is filled with shadows, we avoided it to enter cause we can't all on our own." Lava said.
"Just what Futaba said" Haru added
"If you want to go in, I suggest you let us come" Stan said.
"I don't know about this" Ann said
"We can defend ourselves. And besides, we were the only ones that talked to you." Lava said
"It's your call Joker" Morgana said
"It's fine with me" Akira answered.
"Thank you. We promise that we won't slow you guys down." Stan thanked
All of them entered the café and saw that the place is large.
"Where are the shadows?" Yusuke asked.
"They are hiding to get an ambush. But don't worry, if we catch them first, we can get the advantage." Lava said.
Everyone walked forward and entered the door and was immediately attacked by a shadow.
"Like we said before we can fight. If you exploit the enemy's weakness, they will be knocked down and you get to act once more." Stan said
"Looks like you do know the basic of basics. Let's get them Joker" Morgana gestured.
Akira summoned Arsene and used Eiha on the cowardly maya. But it wasn't weak to it. Morgana used Garu and it was weak to it and was knocked down. He got to act once more and passed it to Lava. He summoned his persona by breaking a card and it was Neko Shogun and used Zio. It resisted it and the cowardly maya attacked Mona and it did slight damage. Stan then summoned his persona which was named Wolfy by shooting himself in the head and used Bufu and was able to knock down tue second enemy.
"Time for an all-out-attack?" Stan asked Joker and answered yes. After that they were able to beat them all.
After that battle everyone was shocked on how they summoned there personas.
"You guys are Persona users" Akechi asked
"Yup, we don't remember how we got them but that's what we want to know. Especially our past" Lava said
"Your past?" Ann asked
"You see, we our memories we erased for some reason and we want to get it back." Stan said
"You too!?" Ryuji was surprised.
Futaba reached down and played woth Lava's face like with Morgana. And apparently, he liked it.
"So the both of you are facing the same problem with mine huh, don't worry I know how it feels." Morgana said.
"I wanted to ask, you summoned your personas differently" Makoto asked
"Yes apparently, I summoned them by using an Evoker gun. And he summons them by breaking the arcana card. I don't know why but that's how we summon them." Stan answered
"Still let's get going, we can talk things later" Akechi said. Everyone moved forward and Akechi thought to himself 'Looks like I'm gonna stop the plans of Shido for awhile. We need to prioritize this first' Then Akechi moved on.
And that was the first chapter, hope you like it. I really enjoyed writing this. The next chapter might take a while.
And yes, the musical gamer did call Akechi Gazuntite-kun because he heard it like a sneeze.
And yes, I have made my own persona of the Magician arcana and named it Wolfy. Can you guess what animal he is
Anyway, This Lavakey your frequency based fox.
