(In the other side of the town)

After Ryuji's brief dispute with Takumi, Ren's group are doing various activities while waiting for the other group. Ann and Ryuji went to food stalls as they buy what sets their sights on with Futaba joining in, while Ren and Morgana are looking some book about Hoshido as well as the history of the kingdom.

Interestingly, he found out about the royal siblings was part of a special bloodline and how the previous ruler and the queen's husband, King Sumeragi was killed at the hands of King Garon.

(1 hour later)

Once the group finished with their activities, they gathered in a place where less crowded.

"Sorry for the wait." Makoto apologized as the others caught up with her.

"Took you long enough, what happened?" Ryuji asked.

"Well, these two here..." Makoto said as she pointed her finger at Yusuke and Akechi, which both of them covered with bruises. "...Make some sort of scene."

Ren's group looked at the two confused. "What happened to them?" Ann asked.

"Yusuke-kun was caught staring at a girl, while Akechi-san almost blew our cover." Haru explained as the group sweatdropped.

"I know Inari can get in trouble, but didn't expected Akechi to be in it too." Futaba said as Morgana poked his head from Ren's bag. "Care to explain it?" Morgana asked as Makoto spoke up.

"It goes something like this..." Makoto explained to the group about what happened one hour earlier.

(Take your Time)

(1 hour earlier)

Makoto's pov

We were just sightseeing, like visiting a nearby stand and that sort of things. However, while we there, Yusuke saw something interesting and followed it, it was a long black haired girl in red with her group who consists a short brown hair girl in green tracksuit jacket, a blue haired hat boy who looked very familiar, a pigtails girl who I felt had seen her before, a long light blue haired woman in a white dress, and short red haired girl in a japanese armor.

Although I'm remembered who those two are, they are Naoto Shirogane and Rise Kujikawa.

(Take your Time)

"Wait just a effin' seconds!? You met THE Naoto Shirogane and THE Risette!?" Ryuji interrupted Makoto's explaination as the others shushed him.

"Indeed. But I have to say, last time I checked Shirogane-san's hair is longer and the two we met were younger." Akechi replied as Makoto continued explaining. "Anyways, where was I?"

(Take your Time)

As Yusuke followed the group, we were following him as well in case if he ran into trouble. Just as we caught up to him, it started.

"Hey, why the hell are you stalking my friend?" The short haired girl asked angrily.

"My apologies, but seeing your friend here gave me an inspiration." Yusuke said he was assured the girls. "Would you become my-" he never gets to finished as the short haired girl said as she kicked Yusuke in the chest, causing him to fell down.

"Yusuke!" I cried out for him as he steadily got up. "I'm okay, I've been worse." Yusuke replied as I helped him get back at his feet

After that, Akechi-kun approached Shirogane-san. "Are you by any chance, Naoto Shiroga-" I never get to finished as I punched him in the stomach.

"Gaagh." He was passed out as I carried him.

"Is he okay?" Shirogane-san asked as I put him on the ground.

"I'm very sorry about these two, they just got overly excited." I apologized to them as she bowed as the short haired girl spoke up.

"Actually, I'm the one who should apologized. Kind of jumping to conclusions." The short haired girl apologized.

"It's no problem, just as I said I've been worse.." Yusuke said as he rubbing his head. "May I ask your names?"

"I'm Chie Satonaka." The short girl introduced.

"Hello, My name is Yukiko Amagi." The girl that Yusuke stalked introduced herself as she bowed.

"I'm Rise Kujikawa." The pigtails girl cheerfully introduced.

"Naoto Shirogane." The capped bo-I mean the girl introduced as Akechi-kun got up.

"Are you okay?" Haru asked him.

"Other than miraculously saved by song, I'm fine Okumura-san." He assured her.

"But I have to ask. How do you know my name?" Shirogane asked us as the question itself catches us off guard. I'm a bit afraid of she found out about us so we decided to lie. "He just spouting nonsense, right?" I said as I elbowed Akechi-kun. "Y-Yes...it's one of my meaningless ramble, forget what I said?" Akechi-kun played along with the lie hoping they dropped the subject.

"Okay...moving along." And it worked...somewhat.

"Anyways..." Yusuke said as rubbed the injured part of the chest. "Who are those two?" He said as pointed his finger at the two girls.

"Oh they are-"

"It's okay Rise-san, we can introduce ourselves." The woman in white stepped in front of us. "My name is Azura, it is pleasure to meet you." She introduced as she gestured her arm to the red-haired girl "And this is Hinoka, my sister and the second sibling of the Hoshidan royalty." This made us surprised again but we kept our composure.

"You're a princess then." Akechi said.

"But you don't look like one." Haru said.

"I get that a lot." She said as Amagi-san spoke up.

"What you were trying to say...before Chie kicked you?" She asked Yusuke as he stepped forward in front of her.

"O-Oh yes. Would you be-" I tensed a bit as I knew what he's trying to say. "-the model for my next art piece." I knew it.

"What!?"

"Model..?"

"Are you by any chance an artist?" Shirogane-san asked him.

"Yes, I am." He answered to Shirogane-san as he looked to Amagi.

"Will you cooperate with me? What do you sa-" "Anyways..." I took Yusuke's hand. "...as much We like to stay in chat, we'll be leaving." We left the group as far possible, if we stay too long they might found out. "Wait, Makoto!" Yusuke tried to let go of my hand but I ignored him.

(Other side of the town)

We managed to get away from them as we arrived on the other section of the town. It was less crowded from that section.

"Why did you did have to go and do that, Yusuke! Don't make me panic like that again." I scold him.

"I won't do that again, you have my word." He assured me as I nodded.

"But at least the encounter was...productive." Akechi-kun said.

"Why is that?" I asked.

"We found Azura-san. One if our persons of interest as well as the other persona users group." He said.

"Should we regroup with Ren-san?" Haru asked.

"Yeah we should. The others need to know about this." I said as we left the place and went toward where you're group is.

(Flashback end)

Normal pov

"And that's what happened."

"So...I guess we found all of them now." Morgana concluded.

"What do you mean, Morgana?" Yusuke asked as Futaba spoke up.

"We found our prince...because of Ryuji over there, Inari." Futaba said as she pointed her finger at Ryuji.

"Care to explain it." Makoto asked as her group were curious.

"Ryuji here almost fight with the third prince." Morgana said.

"Mona, you little-"

"With Prince Takumi? I heard rumors of him being ill tempered and easy to provoke, guess he's personality rivaled Ryuji here." Akechi said.

"You shuddup too, Akechi!"

"Anyways what should we do, Ren?" Morgana asked him.

"Let's go somewhere, and change our clothes back to normal while we're at it." Ren explained.

"Okay" that's all they said as they went somewhere...less crowded again to change their outfits.

(1 hour later)

They all gathered in their winter clothes the square for the public announcement. They saw what the queen looks like. It was a middle aged woman who had long black hair which tied into a ponytail and wore a priestess garb. With her was a long brown haired man in red armor as well as all of the royal siblings.

"So that's her huh? The queen I mean." Ryuji asked.

"Now that I see her up close, she did look a lot like my mom." Futaba said as she pictured the woman like her late mother.

"That's right, that is Queen Mikoto, second wife of the late King Sumeragi." Akechi explained.

"Second wife?" Makoto asked.

"His first wife passed away after he became king." He explained.

"Who's the tough dude in red armor then? Is he prince or a bodyguard?" Ryuji asked again

"That is Prince Ryoma." Akechi explained.

"F-For real, that dude a prince!?"

"Not so loud you idiot." Ann smacked Ryuji in the head. "Look over there."

They look and saw what it is. It was the rest of the other persona users group. "It's them."

"Guess they're here for the announcement too hmm." Yusuke said.

"The grey haired one is the leader." Ren said as the rest of the thieves looked at him. "How do you know for sure?" Ann asked.

"Just a hunch." That's all Ren said.

(With the I.T.)

"Hey, senpai, look over there." Kanji said as he pointed his finger at the Phantom Thieves.

"It's them." Yu said.

"Hey is that guy who asked Yukiko." Chie pointed her finger at Yusuke.

"He did whaat!?" Teddie exclaimed.

"What did he asked?" Yosuke asked.

"He asked if Yukiko-senpai can become his model for his art stuff." Rise explained.

"Is he an artist?" Yu asked.

"Yes he said he was one...but I more concerned about him." Naoto pointed her finger at Akechi. " He knew about me."

"If he knew, then rest might know." Yosuke said.

"I sniffed their smell, and according to it, they aren't from around here." Teddie explained.

"How many of their scents do you smell?" Yu asked.

"Nine of them, including the cat in the bag." This caught attention.

"What cat!? I don't see it?" Kanji asked.

"Didn't I tell you, it's in the Frizzy's bag." Teddie said as he pointed his finger at Ren's bag.

"At any rate, we should be careful around them." That's all Yu said before..."especially him." He said as he looked at Ren before ready to listen to the announcement.

(Back with the Phantom Thieves)

"Achoo" Ren sneezed.

"Are you okay?" Morgana asked as popped his head through the bag.

"It's fine, but felt like someone talked about me."

"That's not a good sign." Morgana muttered as his head went back to bag.

The queen apparently said that she heard rumors about a spy in the kingdom she assured there isn't.

"Everyone!" Futaba cried.

"What's wrong Futaba?" Ren asked.

"Look over there!" The group went to look what Futaba saw. It was a hooded figure.

"He's look like trying to do something." Ann said.

"No shit, that guy's bad news." Ryuji said

"His energy reading is the same from the canyon." Futaba explained.

"Do you think..?" Makoto asked.

"He's one of the third party." Ren said as the hooded figure pulled his hand, which we're invisible to the naked eye but Ren able to see it thanks to third eye ability from the fake Igor. The hooded pulled a sword from Corrin. Fortunately, Ren saw this coming mile away.

"He's going to attack!" He said as the hooded figure stab his sword to the ground, causing an explosion around him.

"Take cover!" Ryuji said as the rest of thieves take cover from the blast. The hooded figure's sword broken in several pieces that flying into Corrin. Just one about to him, the queen jumped in front of him, taking the hit.

"Guys, look!" Morgana said who had turned into his metaverse form.

"The queen...just took the hit to save him." Ann in her panther outfit said.

"N-No!?" Futaba in her oracle outfit said. To her, this reminds her the day her mother was killed.

(Take your Time)

Corrin's pov

Queen Mikoto, who proclaimed to be my...mother just jumped in front of me when the piece of the Ganglari about to hit me. She might be a stranger to me...but she's still my mother, I rushed to hold her.

"You were not hurt? Tell me you're OK."She asked me.

"I'm fine." She smiled at me.

"I'm so glad..." she said as she breathed her last breath.

She just..died in front of me, no no no...Mother, tell me this isn't real, wake up.

"Mother!?" I sob as I processed about what happened.

"Mother!" Sakura cried as she tried to get a closer look but Ryoma stopped her.

"You there!" He said as he unsheaths the Raijinto, tried to attack the hooded figure but vanished.

"Show yourself!"

Unforgivable, unforgivable. How dare he killed her, how dare he!

(Take your Heart)

Normal pov

"Are you all okay?" Ren asked in his metaverse outfit.

"Say why we're in our thief clothes?" Haru asked in her Noir outfit.

"Brace yourselves, look like there's some enemies nearby." Morgana said.

"Guys, look." Makoto said in her metaverse clothes as the group look what she saw: it's a dragon! The dragon was big but not too big, it's legs were skinny, wings that apparently fly with, and the face that seemed weird for a dragon.

"For Real, it's a dragon, a real effin' dragon." Ryuji in his metaverse outfit said.

"But compared to Joker's dragon personas, this thing isn't very strong." Yusuke in his metaverse outfit said as he remembered of seeing Ren's dragonic persona, which is Seth, Kohryu, and Seiryu.

"Guys! Enemies in place. Be careful, they're Invisible." Futaba warned.

"How do we suppose to hit them if we can't see them?" Ryuji asked.

"We'll figure something out." Morgana replied as the thieves readied their weapons.

"What's your call, Joker?" Akechi in his princely metaverse outfit asked.

"Let's take them down!" Ren-I mean Joker said as the thieves run to the battlefield.

Badda-bing, Badda boom. Cliffhanger is here again. Action starts the next chapter. The battle won't be long unlike the original story, but awesome either way. Reviews and critics are acceptable.
