Flashback: Many Years Ago…The Mikoshiba Farm
"Oniiii-chaaaan!" shouted the little Momotarou as he and Seijuurou rushed through the grassy fields of their farmland.
"Come on Momo!" laughed the older brother.
The two arrived at the small creek that ended their farmland area. Beyond was a massive forest that led to who knew where.
"I want to go see if there are stag beetles there!" smiled Momo taking a step towards the creek
"DON'T!" replied the elder brother, grabbing Momo's arm, "You know dad won't allow us."
"B-bu-but…" he answered.
"Come on, we have to get back home anyway. I'll race ya!" smirked Sei.
"HEEEY!" shouted Momo as Sei rushed back before chasing after him. The sun gently set down for the evening as the dew from the grass cooled down from the humidity of the forest.
The two brothers sat down at the dinner table with pumpkin squash, chicken, grapes, some corn and other farm food. The Mikoshiba family worked on a multi-crop form with other families nearby and supplied the food to other cities.
Momo smiled as he saw the father walking in with a bag of fast-food from the city. The father worked as a Lawyer while the mother and her siblings were the farm workers.
"Daddyyyy!" cheered Momo as he hugged him.
"Well hello there Momo-chan," he smiled and gave his son a kiss on the forehead, "How was your day?"
"Big brother's just ruling over me…why can't I get any freedom?!" he whined.
"Your brother is just trying to protect you," answered the father.
"Yeah but he's annoying!" he muttered, "He's always telling me what I should and should not do! I can't have fun!"
"Now, now," he said, "I bought you something delicious but you won't get it till you apologize to him. Okay?"
Momo grunted before he lowered his head and apologized.
Bedtime:
The two brothers got to their bunk beds as Momo climbed up to the top bed and Sei going to the bottom bed. It was another long day for the two but each of them were excited for their final year of elementary school.
"I'm so ready to leave!" said Momo, "How about you onii-chan!?"
"I'm just looking forward to join the swim team for the middle school," he answered.
"Ugh, swimming," moaned the younger brother, "You're all for the competitions aren't you?"
"Muahaha!" laughed Sei, "Are you being a sissy?"
"You're the one that's being mean!" argued Momo, trying not hard to cry.
"You have to be fiery and spirited if you're going to compete!" he said.
"Whatever," sighed Momo as he pulled up the sheets to hide his expression, "I'm not going to swim!"
3 years before the "Present Time"
~Iwatobi Aquarium
Nitori and Momotarou were passing food to the sea otters and cleaning the area of their messes. The radio in the background was playing a song called Charley's Girl by Lou Reed:
Everybody said that you'd better watch out
Man, she's gonna turn you in
And me, you know that I thought that I looked out
Now look at the trouble that I'm in
you know, you'd better
All seemed going well for the sea otters but one of them struggled on his fish.
"Looks like Pyunsuke is losing his food again," sighed Nitori.
"Well then, Phantom Otter shall help him by getting the food from the others that are fighting for!" answered the orange-haired.
Watch out for Charley's girl!
"Momo, just stop it!" he replied, "I know we had fun being the Phantom Thieves and all but you do realize that we are moving on from these events. Just try to act normal for once!"
"I was just kidding," he muttered with a sour-like face, "I just want to bring back some of the good times because this is getting a bit boring here. Oh, well what do you know…it's pay day! We'll be able to act like normal people for once and properly buy stuff!"
"And before we do that, we need to feed them all first, okay?" asked Nitori.
Momo smirked as he turned up the music a little:
It happened on New Year's Eve
They said everybody had to leave
They had a warrant in their hand
They wanted to bust the whole band
I said if I ever see Sharon again
I'm gonna punch her face in
you know you, you'd better
The two of them continue their work at the aquarium. Momo takes care of the gigantic whale shark while Nitori gives food to the sand sharks. It would seem that their Phantom Thief life never happened. Life was finally good for them, right?
As soon as the final hour was done, they went for a walk and enjoyed the scenery of the endless skyscrapers. The sun was setting down across the Iwatobi bay where they headed to a restaurant. Momo told Nitori about a lovely young lady working here and wanted to show him.
As they arrived at the scene, Gou stepped out and handed over the dishes to a family. Momo's eyes glowed golden and sparkly at the sight.
"There she is!" he smiled happily.
"She is quite lovely," nodded Nitori.
They eventually got to the restaurant entrance and sat down outside to watch the sunset and observing the menus. Gou finally arrived to them and said, "Thanks for waiting. What would you guys like for tonight?"
"I'd like to try the seafood gratin," said Nitori, "And you Momo?"
"Hummm…I…uhh…um…I'll just go for the usual!" chuckled Momo while Nitori silently face-palmed himself.
"The usual?" asked Gou, a bit confused.
"Oh sorry!" blushed Momo, "I meant to say the triple cheese hamburger of course!"
"Ah, I see," she answered, writing down the orders to the note pad, "I'm sorry to not have understood you."
"Oh no worries!" said Momo, smiling, "I'll come back here more often! Anyway, my name is Momotarou Mikoshiba! I work as a caretaker at the aquarium with my friend Nitori. As you can tell, I love the triple cheese hamburgers! Oh, I also love the movie called "Rat's Tale!" I also love the chikuwabu as the oden and I'd love to visit the Aleutian Islands someday!"
"Wow, you got a handful of sunshine," she smiled, "So you're a caretaker for the Iwatobi Aquarium? That's funny because I just happen to see the otters recently during their display."
"No way!" gasped Momo happily, "I'm the guy who takes care of the otters! Did you know that in order to not drift away while sleeping, otters hold onto sea kelp while they sleep!? Gou-san, that's why…I uh…I…that is…"
He began to waver and blushed before handing over the menu in a clumsy fashion. Nitori could only chuckle at this as Gou walked over at the next table while Momo continued to mutter over some gibberish.
"Oh," he realized when she wasn't there while Nitori tried hard not to laugh.
Nightfall:
By the time her work was done for the night, Gou sighed in relief as she took out her phone and looked at the photo of Seijuurou. Upon realizing that he and Momo shared the same last name…could it be?
"Maybe I should take a visit to him," she muttered, "I do owe him a date. Maybe he might know Momotarou."
Meanwhile, Momo and Nitori returned to the Iwatobi Complex Apartment in their room 224 C and found a pile of bills that were going to be due soon.
"Ughhhh we just had our paycheck dammit!" whined Momo, "I swear, if I could just get to know that girl…"
"Don't tell me that you're going to make her pay the bills for you?" shrugged Nitori.
"No! I mean…I want to merry her because she's definitely having a better family life than mines!" he answered.
"Are you saying my people were…" began Nitori.
"No! No! Not those guys! I'm taking about my true family," sighed Momotarou, "My brother always get everything he deserved! If I was ever lucky, I'd get scraps."
"And where is he now?" asked Nitori.
"I don't know, but he better not find me," said Momo, opening one of the bills before reading and tossing it to the side.
Flashback: Mikoshiba Family (A few years after)
Momotarou scrubbed the floors while his elder brother was busy cleaning the fruits. The younger brother sighed and continued working before he got up and kicked the bucket over.
"Momo?" asked Sei, worried.
"Why!? Why is it that I'm always doing this stuff?!" he shouted, "Just because I hate school..."
"You can't be fighting those students," said Sei, "Don't you know that's..."
"I don't care!" shouted Momo, "They're always making fun of me for being so passive so I decided to get aggressive and showing them who's the boss! No one messes with me!"
Before Sei could reply, the younger brother threw down his broom and grabbed a pair of shoes to run outside.
The younger one left the house but stopped to see a stag beetle crawling across the grass. He smiled and picked up, saying, "No fear little one. Let's be friends."
He quickly went to the garage to grab a glass jar with holes at the top when he heard the mother shouting in the background. Moments later, she walked outside and started to yell at him for purposefully kicking the water over when she freaked out over the stag beetle in the jar.
"GET. RID. OF IT!" she shouted, covering her own face.
"But it's contained inside!" replied Momo, "Why does onii-chan get to keep stuff and you won't let me?!"
Before she could call him back, the younger brother ran through the house, up to his own room and slammed it shut.
What am I going to do with this, thought the mother, he's getting worse and worse...
Days Later:
Momo woke up in the middle of the night and looked at his stag beetle. He was grounded from a lot of things (as usual) as he had problems in school and home with his wild-like behavior. He was tired of playing the rules of someone's game…
"Too late for second guessing…too late to go back to sleep…" he almost sang, getting up from his feet and grabbing the lantern that he took from the garage.
He looked at his sac of some clothes he packed and knew that things were better off for him to leave his family.
"It's time to trust my instincts…close my eyes and leap…" he finished as he took his things and quietly escaped the house, heading to the roads ahead.
The orange-haired boy walked through the hills and the forests of the Iwatobi Country, heading to the route that would take him to the city by the coastline. However, he had to find a place to hide soon as his family will try to go after him.
His stag beetle clicked a few noises. After a sigh, Momo released it but to his surprise, the beetle was flying around like a fast bumblebee before it drifted towards the forest. With a shrug, he rushed after it just as the police sirens could be heard. Frightened, he rushed faster and faster until he jumped into the bushes, battling with scratches from the branches.
Once the sirens died down, Momo got up and continued his way when he saw some child with silvery hair. He blinked his eyes and the person was gone. Was it a hallucination?
Before he could react, he felt a blow on the back of his head, falling him down to the ground.
3 years before the "Present Storyline" (Continued): Iwatobi Complex Apartment 224 C.
"And from there, I remember that's how we first met," said Momo as he sat down on the futon.
"Yeah, sorry to hurt you like that, but we feared you were going to get us in trouble or something with the police," replied Nitori.
"Hah, and you taught me how to do some magic with your circus friends," he nodded, "And we began our early days of Phantom Duck and Sea Otter! We used put on a great show until the police force arrested our friends and shot some of them down while they fled."
"Maybe some of them could be alive?" asked Nitori.
"I don't know," answered Momo, "But we've moved on now I guess…"
6 Months Later:
After several attempts, Momo finally got his chance to start dating Gou. The two began to hang out by the candy and ice cream store where they both shared a lollipop and some delicious sundae. However, Gou was increasingly worried by this as she had heard the urban legend of the Phantom Thieves.
He can't possibly be him, is he, she thought.
The two finally sat down on the bench to relax by the fountain as Momo said, "Thanks so much! I'm so glad we can finally get to know each other!"
"Well you asked a lot about me…the question is…who are you?" she asked.
"Eh? What are you talking about?" he chuckled.
"Let me tell you a story," she said, trying hard to not feel tense about this, "Years ago…the city was under a crisis when a group of wanderers came into this town, putting on a circus show. A bunch of the people that went to go see it disappeared," explained Gou, "Turned out that they were robbed of their things and it required the entire police force to get the thieves…but two of them escaped the crisis."
Momo tried not to sweat too hard about this and said, "But...what makes you think I have something to do with it?! Nitori-senpai and I we worked at the Aquarium for quite a while!"
"During the crisis…one of the girls saw the boy who stole a beautiful necklace had his outfit of a magician tuxedo uniform and you know what he did? He smiled with a wicked grin," she answered.
The orange hair gasped as he realized that he was going to get busted, "Y-you were the girl?!"
"And you were the Phantom Sea Otter," she replied.
Momo jumped off of his seat and tried to run off when the police surrounded him all of a sudden. The lights shined all around him as a bunch of cops emerged out of their cars while a few of them snuck behind him to cuff his hands together.
When his eyes finally adjusted to the light, the younger brother gasped in horror at the sight before him: it was Seijuurou as the chief standing at the scene.
"B-brother…" gasped Momo before he growled, "W-why?!"
"Do you know how long it's been since you ran away from home?" asked Seijuurou.
"Like hell should I care!" he shouted, "LET ME GO!"
"It's been too long that you ran around like a beast," replied the older brother, "You're under arrest!"
Flash-forward: 2 Years before the Present – The Madman's Arrival
The Madman rushed through the city; realizing that Rei and Nagisa (as well as possibly the others) have no idea on what happened to their lives as well as how this world was made.
Something had to be done…a plan formulated in his mind.
If I can tap to my dark side like how I was the Dark One, thought the madman, but…will that risk me into falling evil again?
He turned to see a small store that was filled with goodies and other merchandise. There was a basket little eggs that contained a surprise toy inside.
Have I gone mad, he thought, grabbing the egg and running off to the street.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE WITH THAT!" shouted one of the store employees.
I have to get a crowd started if this is going to work.
The madman turned to see a water fountain in the plaza. Worried that they'll trace his evidence for the toy, he threw it into the water before running off. Several people watched as the police began to charge through the streets.
SHIT, though the madman, I have to hide!
"Come this way child," said a voice.
The man turned to find the source of the voice but before he could answer, a hand grabbed him on his face and he felt a jolt of pain to his hip before falling out.
When he could open his eyes again, he was in chains inside a small chamber where one of the servants said, "Master Sea Otter and Duck will be with your shortly."
It can't be, thought the madman, is it…Momo and Nitori?
"Ah yes, my, my, what a stranger we have here," said Momotarou as he walked into the room with a twirl of his cape.
"I've never seen him before," replied Nitori, standing by his side, "The dark hair and those eyes that match the ray of light…they're like yours."
"Momo, Nitori, please listen to me!" said the man.
"Ehhhh, how do you know our names!?" asked Momo, shocked.
"It's not the fact on how I know you, it's the fact that we are all in danger!" he answered, "Don't you guys remember what happened on our way back home to Aqua Duniya!?"
"Aqua…Duniya? What in the hell is that place?" asked Nitori, confused.
The man sighed and answered, "Great, so it's not just them…no one in this world remembers but me."
"You clearly seem quite mad about this," said Momotarou, "Give us one good reason why we shouldn't hurt you."
"W-WHAT?!" he replied, "What are you guys trying to do?!"
"Well it's clear that you're not a threat to our plans…or maybe you are but for sure something about you is way off. Maybe you were sent by the Samezuka Police Force?" asked Momo.
"S-Samezuka?" said the madman, "Wait, who is there?!"
"Well they got new trainees, Rin and Sousuke," said Nitori, "But it's ironic how Momo's elder brother is the chief of the station."
"Please don't tell him my family problems," growled Momo, "That bastard got everything he ever wanted and DIDN'T DESERVE IT!"
The madman sighed as the two argued but when he looked up on the shelf, he saw something shocking; it was the Legendary Solar Crystal! (Or at least it looked similar to that powerful object.)
He closed his eyes and prayed for the crystal to work. His hands were tied to the chair and he had to escape before these two tried to do something awful. Seconds later, the ropes broke off and fell to the floor.
It-it's working, my magic, thought the madman, but it's awfully weak. I'll take what I can get!
The crystal appeared on his hands behind him while Momo and Nitori still bickered away.
"I'm sorry you guys but you are going to have to fight me," said the madman as he threw the chair at the two before running out the door.
"STOP HIM!" shouted Momo.
The servants rushed through the tunnels to get him but thanks to the light from the crystal, it showed him an exit to the outside. From there, the madman continued his journey, hoping to find someone who COULD understand him.
Flashback: Momo's Arrest and Escape
"Brother, just…listen to me," said Seijuurou as the younger brother was locked in the cell, "You don't have to stay behind bars. Just let me help you."
"Like you ever were kind to me!" growled Momo, "You PROMISED ME! But you…you are always getting whatever you want! Tell me, did you steal that girl's heart too!?"
"That's something she and I only know about," replied the elder brother, "What we have of our business is not yours."
"Then leave me to my business!" said Momo, "What I'm doing is something you should stay out of!"
"You've had plenty of them," answered Sei, "And a second, SECOND chance! No, this city needs to be safe from you."
"What are you going to put me on? A Psychiatrist? Medications? Death Penalty!? Why not just KILL ME if you wanted me out of your pathetic life?!" shouted Momo angrily.
But Sei already left the cell hall, leaving Momo to the chains. However, he heard something from the windows before the glass panel opened to reveal Nitori.
"Geeze Momo you really have driving me crazy!" said the silver-haired man.
"Good! Get me out of this labyrinth before he gets back!" replied Momo.
"Who?" asked Nitori.
"…my brother. He's the godforsaken chief of this city!" he shouted.
Present Day:
Rin and Gou stood side by side with other relatives of the Matsuoka family in the funeral home as people showed up to give their condolences to their mother.
After Rin showed up at the hospital, he was too late for the mother was just pronounced dead after battling a long-term illness. It was when he got the text message that the mother was about to go anytime.
Makoto, Rei, Sousuke, and Nagisa showed up especially and shared their hugs to Rin and Gou and praying for the mother.
"At least she's not suffering anymore," said Sousuke, hugging Gou.
"I know," she whispered while she spilled some tears.
"Your mother was really sweet," said Makoto, "I'm glad we got to know her."
"Thank you," replied Rin, dripping his tears while blowing his nose on the handkerchief.
"That reminds me, when are you guys getting married?" asked Sousuke, "Nagisa? Rei?"
"Oh it won't be for another few months or so. We got lots to work on," said the blond, "We'll send the announcements this weekend and the invitations in the next few weeks."
1 Week Later: At the Western Portal
"Honestly why did I even bother to hire you two?" growled the Corrupt Boss.
"Look we totally messed up from stealing the Golden Stag beetle but we had no idea there was a bomb in it!" said Momo.
"Please, we won't mess up on the next mission!" added Nitori.
The Boss looked at them before he took off his hat and said, "How about that urban legend of the mermaid? Have you heard about it?"
"A mermaid? But those don't exist!" answered Momo.
"It does not, but I want you guys to make sure it doesn't. Rumors are reported that a strange creature is appearing in water fountains but it is said to have been living inside the Iwatobi Aquarium for quite some time. I need you guys to break to the Aquarium and just investigate a few things," the boss explained.
Flashback: Nitori's Days at the Circus
The young duckling sat down on a bench as he watched the flame throwers rehearsing. It was quite an awesome sight to watch but it was also a bit nerve wrecking since they were using fire as a way of talents.
He couldn't remember much of his life before joining the circus but he adapted to their lifestyle and traveled to different places. He was given the job as "thief" where he had to snatch personal belongings, money, and other treasures from the people in order to get a larger sum.
Eventually he was taught on how to use "magic" and was able to swiftly take money from any place he desired.
He sat down at the table with the other clowns and thieves and gave grace before eating. However, Nitori was already feeling saddened and lonely despite doing well at the job.
"What's the matter duckling?" asked one of his partners.
"Nothing much," he said, "I'm gonna practice up for the next show."
Nitori worked on his jumps and his flips for the last 20 minutes or so when he noticed a small glow coming from one of the stashed bags. Curious, he walked up to it and opened to see a glowing crystal inside.
"How pretty," he smiled as he took it out from the bag. The crystal was like in the shape of a ball of fire with some spikes around yet it was soft to the touch.
Seconds later, he felt a wave of magic flowing through his body as the straw, rings, and other equipment flared to life. Frightened, he dropped it and everything was back to silence. He picked it up again and suddenly found himself in a flood of visions and sights happening before his eyes.
A group of men standing side by side each of them performing some sort of a magical chant or unleashing some sort of power. One of them looked like himself but much, much older.
"Nitori…you must return," said that voice.
"W-who's there?" he shouted, looking around.
"Return to that place…" echoed the voice a Nitori's head began to spin and he fell unconscious.
One of the gypsies walked into the room and saw him on the ground, sensing something strange.
Present Day: Western Portal
Momo and Nitori walked through the halls as the latter listened to the former's plans.
"Are you serious? You're gonna try to win her heart again?!" asked Nitori,
"Well it would be nice but…she's already been in a relationship," he growled, "I swear. Onii-chan has no idea what's coming."
"You can't just take her by force!" replied the silver-haired.
"I'm not going to force her by my power…I'm taking vengeance to someone else…" answered Momo.
The two returned to the restaurant where they first discovered Gou. After a stage of planning, the two went right to work though Nitori's stomach was feeling extremely uneasy about this.
Once the set up was done; it was all in a matter of time before the crowds leave this place. From there, they would set this place off an explosion and Momo would make the attempt to rescue her (assuming she still did work).
With their servants working through and hijacking the cameras, the plan continued to proceed in motion.
Gou helped cleaned up the tables with Chigusa as they were wrapping up for another night's of work. All seemed quite nice and peaceful when they heard a loud explosion coming from the kitchen.
Chigusa peaked through the glass window and saw the stovetops ablaze followed by a growth of a fire coming from the ceiling.
"FIRE!" she screamed, "Get the extinguisher!"
"I'll call Makoto!" shouted Gou as she dialed up the emergency number.
However, it wasn't the only explosion as exit of the restaurant exploded out with rubble falling around. The smoke grew thicken and the heat was rising.
"Find the emergency alarm!" shouted one of the busboys.
Moments later, Gou heard a shout of a familiar voice. She turned to see Momo and gasped, "W-what are you…!?"
"I've come to rescue you and the others!" he shouted, "Please…come with me!"
"Like hell I would!" she answered, "I know who you are…"
"I've changed!" he answered back, "I saw the fire nearby and I was worried you'd be trapped! I got out for good behavior!"
The fires raged higher and higher as the temperature around them grew more, ticking the time left.
"I wanted to make up for what I've done in the past!" he said as he revealed a box that contained the jewelry that he stole, "This was yours, wasn't it?"
Gou recalled the jewelry from long ago and took it, answering, "It was."
"Please…I just want to have a future. Please be my sea kelp!" he answered.
"Momo…" she replied, "We have to get out now!"
The firetrucks arrived to douse out the flames as Makoto arrived and found them and the other trapped waitresses and busboys and all of them got out safely. Gou held the jewelry to her heart and spilled a silent tear. She turned her head to say something but Momo was gone.
The Sea Otter and Duck Thieves leapt building to building as Momo spilled tears. He wanted to have a future with her but after he and Nitori caused the arson, it was clearly not going to happen this way. At least the jewelry was back to the rightful owner but it was a price he had to pay.
"I thought you were going to stay?" asked Nitori.
"And risk getting into more problems?" replied Momo, "I can't…I want to but…it's not right. I don't know where to even begin?!"
"Well we gotta get back to our boss or else all hell gets more lose," said Nitori, "But we'll find something for ourselves in the future, I know we will."
The two jumped on the hang glider and soared their way through the moonlight as the wind blew them to a southern direction of the city.
Everybody said that you'd better watch out
Man, she's gonna turn you in
And me, you know that I thought that I looked out
Now look at the trouble that I'm in
you know, you'd better
Gou would look up to the skies and wonder if that "shadow" was a group of birds or if it was them but since this activity, the two thieves weren't seen or heard for a while.
Rin asked his sister about the necklace and she explained it to him about how she first met Momo when he was the thief and then brought it back to her.
"He must have caused the arson to get the attention," muttered Rin.
"And even if he did…" she answered, "At least he returned this. Did you know that this belonged to our grandmother Kyou?"
"We just have to keep going on their trail," replied Sousuke, "They won't get away with this."
Makoto and his team doused the fires out as the detectives and other police forced secured the area.
Seijuurou looked up to the moonlight from his office and wondered to himself.
Momo, if you're ready to take that next step, you can always come back and everything will be alright again. You have to make that decision, I can't.
Next Morning:
Rei woke up with Nagisa in their newly brought house as the upcoming couple began to bond more closely with each other. Knowing that their time was soon, they had a lot of work to get done before that day arrived for the vows.
Nagisa looked at the newspaper and gasped at the events from last night.
"Seems like some serious stuff is going on," he muttered.
"The thieves haven't struck back for a while," said Rei as he analyzed the page.
"You know those posters of them…it feels strange but do you think we've known them before?" asked Nagisa.
"You mean the thieves?" replied Rei.
"Yeah, almost like as if we have interacted with them from another life…" said Nagisa, "But…it doesn't make sense."
The two cooked up breakfast as Rei was getting his uniform ready for work. Nagisa finished up cleaning the dishes and drying up his hands. After leaving, they exchanged a kiss and a goodbye for now as the weather began to rain again.
Nagisa grabbed his umbrella and walked out to the street when he saw a male standing before him in the flesh but after a shook of his head, the figure was gone.
W-what the hell was that, thought Nagisa.
"So you failed again," sighed the Corrupt Boss.
"We didn't go on that mission yet," said Momo.
"Of course you didn't," replied the boss, "You're wasting time for love when we have to find that urban legend."
"And what do you want us to do if we even find this…thing?" asked Nitori, "We don't know if this is even a real creature!"
"It is," the boss answered, "The creature was spotted at a fountain and I've heard one of the police was drawn to its attention briefly before it vanished."
"Vanished?" asked Momo, "Does it have magic?"
"Possibly…and that's why I need you two gentlemen to fetch it for me," smirked Kisumi Shigino, "I must have it so I can obtain its power."
