Persona 5:

Saki was currently playing Persona 5 on the PS4 while slouching on the couch. Humming to the tunes of the soundtrack while indulging herself with the gameplay. Meanwhile, Ai was walking by as she stares at the former biker being her gamer self.

"YOU NEVER SEE IT COMING!" Saki said as she did a head bang. "You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes!"

"You know, I wonder what's all this ruckus is all about." Ai said.

"Only one of the best JRPGs of all time! This isn't even the updated version and it's seriously bopping!" Saki said with excitement written all over her eyes.

"Mind telling me the premise?" Ai asked.

"It stars a silent protagonist who was indicted by some shady ass man! Now on probation, he tries to live his normal life only to run into more shady situations like a pedophile of a gym teacher. But one day, he ended up in another world with some guy and gained the manifestation of his inner rebellious spirit called a Persona! Now as a Phantom Thief with some friends, he goes out right the wrongs while being bad ass!" Saki said.

"Of course, you would be into that sort of thing," Ai said. "Besides being this macho man stealing stuff, what makes this game so special?"

Saki took a moment to make an internal list and said. "Hmm, he's sexy, the characters are great, love the story, the life simulator is…"

"Whoa whoa whoa! Life simulator and you! That does not sound right," Ai said.

"I don't see a problem with that," Saki said.

"It's odd enough that you are really tactical with turn-based games and explain it seriously but for you to be this into a life simulator is crossing the line. Next, you'll tell me that you are in love with puzzle games and table top games!" Ai said.

Saki snickered as she gave Ai a silly look and said, "Pretty much!"

"Something about this feels so out of character," Ai said as she sat on the couch and watch Saki play Persona 5. At some point, she saw the main character doing an imposing gesture at the enemy. "God, the main character is acting like an arrogant prick!"

"I know! Joker is such an amazing protagonist with little words! You got to give it to the developers for the standing animations and thought put into the dude!" Saki said. "It gives him so much character."

"Though the more I look at him… he…" Ai said while blushing. "I guess that's why he's called Joker."

Saki went and pat Ai on the back, "I know. He's so hot that he makes me straight!"

"Wait, what?" Ai asked.

"We don't question Shrimpy for her thing and you don't question mine!" Saki said with a threatening look.

"From the looks of it, the gameplay looks like from that one game you played before," Ai said as she quickly changed the topic.

"It's just a spin off series of the Megami Tensei game that gotten more popular than the main games," Saki said, "Frankly, I can see the appeal. Especially with the life simulation part."

"I assume it's for choosing who you want to date," Ai said.

"Not only that. There is also balancing your bonds and social confidants, studying for school, developing your skills, and other story stuff. However, it's all under a time limit so I have to plan my activities carefully. Hanging out with friends can take up an afternoon and going through the palaces takes up a day all because the damn cat makes me go to sleep. To make matters worse, Joker can get arrested if I fail!"

"That's a lot to manage," Ai said.

"After I finish this palace, I would need to hang out with Ryuji or Skull while spending the night with Joker's homeroom teacher," Saki said, "I like Ryuji but something feels off about him."

"That teacher part sounds so wrong," Ai said.

"It's what you'd expect and I am aiming to get the best Valentine ending where Joker cheats on every single girl!" Saki said with an ominous grin.

"I doubt the actual canon will make him that much of a degenerate," Ai said. "Though the fact that this is possible to do in game is really messed up."

"The game isn't exactly all black and white in terms of morality," Saki said.

"At least I'd expect the protagonist to have some form of moral compass!" Ai said. "God. I really worried for our manager wanting to invite these people into this house."

"I really don't get her. She's more focused on her band and doing whatever instead of idol stuff," Saki said. "Though just adding random themes of happiness is the best she can do."

"I'd expect her to be very busy with her things but she at least gets the job done," Ai said. "A lot more lenient than Kotaro."

The game then played a really calm and jazzy song as Joker went to his home in a café. It was so soothing that it made both Saki and Ai hummed to the tone of it as Saki made the protagonist call his homeroom teacher for maid service.

"Wow, the music in this game is really good!" Ai said.

"I know right! The battle theme was lit but just everywhere you go in the game it sounds so cool!" Saki said, "Even just taking a test sounds so cool!"

"You know what, I'm interested in trying this game when you're done!" Ai said.

"You sure? I did spoil some parts of the game," Saki said.

Ai sighed with her head looking down, "I might as well just watch."

"It's still a cool game to do just that," Saki said.

"Yeah," Ai said. "I wonder what other game could be better than this."

"Maybe the updated one. You could try that version!" Saki said, "I heard it's very different from the original!"

"Maybe I should look into it later," Ai said, "Though I have heard that there are other games that Persona 5 was competing against at the time like NiER Automata, Super Mario Odyssey, or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."

"Oh right! Those games! I should really try them out later! Especially Super Mario Odyssey," Saki said. "Definitely would be funny to see how Marshmallow would react to it."

"Junko is still traumatized from playing the first game," Ai said.

"Oh right," Saki said. "Still would be funny to see though."

…

Super Mario Odyssey:

"You do what to people?!" Junko asked.

"So instead of taking up mushrooms, you possess people with a demonic hat? COOL!" Saki said.

"No! Not cool!" Junko said, "That poor frog."

"Now you can jump much higher!" Ai said as she tried to cheer the Showa zombie up.

"But that frog," Junko said as Ai patted her back.

At the couch, Junko was playing Super Mario Odyssey while Saki and Ai sat with her. As expected, Junko was struggling at playing the game and it's just the tutorial. It was only through Saki's guidance where she had an idea of how the game works.

"So, I whip Mario's hat to that pole next?" Junko asked as she flicks the remote.

Suddenly Mario turned into electricity as he went to New Donk City. Leaving both Ai and Junko with distain from the suspense of disbelief. However, Saki had a different point of view on the matter.

"Whoa! Mario really has gone a long way from before! I wonder how the games before this can top all of this!" Saki said.

"I don't think that's how possession works," Ai said.

"It's Mario," Saki said. "No need to think about it so hard."

"Just no Saki. I dealt with so much nonsense as of late. I rather not add more," Junko said.

Now arriving into New Donk City, this was an opportunity to explore the place, gather coins, try out some of Mario's skills, or just complain about the place. Either or just works, even though the girls should just play the game.

"I though Mario is a fantasy game," Junko said.

"It is," Saki said.

"To be fair, seeing Mario in a modern-day city is surreal but he has been in games that involved plumbing," Ai said.

"This can only mean one thing, GRAND THEFT MARIO!" Saki said as she took the control off of Junko.

"Saki, NOOOOO!" Junko said as she is powerless against the former biker.

"And I'll be taking that!" Saki said as she possessed a vehicle and begin causing chaos all around New Donk City.

The once friendly Fat Italian Plumber is now a chaotic force of nature. Platforming around the city, hurting anyone in his way, and possessing anything in sight. Luckily this was a Nintendo game so the chaos is not that bad.

"Why is it called Grand Theft Mario?" Junko asked.

"It's a play on words for the game series called Grand Theft Auto. Something about playing as gangsters stealing cars and all," Ai said.

"I am no video game fan but I do no approve of this!" Junko said.

"Can it, Marshmallow!" Saki said.

Suddenly, Tae came into the room with a laptop and cable. She plugged in the cable into the dock of the Nintendo Switch while using said laptop. The three awakened zombies stared at Tae as they wonder what is going on with her.

"Oi! Tae! Mind moving out of the way?!" Saki asked.

"Honestly, Tae is becoming more unpredictable by the day," Ai said.

The TV screen suddenly went static as the game froze and glitched out. Tae just stood there with a dull expression while everyone else looked more concerned and shocked.

"TAE!" Ai said. "NO!"

"Thank god that's over! Now I think we are done for the day," Junko said.

"Wait… is that what I think this is?" Saki asked as the screen cleared up.

Super Mario Odyssey was now Super Grand Theft Mario Odyssey much to everyone's surprise. The Legendary Tae Yamada simply added a mod to the game to make it be what Saki desired.

"AWW! THANK YOU, TAE-CHAN!" Saki said as she went for the hug.

"Gahh," Tae said.

Thus, the chaos continued as Saki played the mod. There was more killing, robbing, and destruction all around. New Donk City must now fear Mario as Saki made the plumber do what he does best but with more mayhem all around. All while Ai and Junko looked at the game with dismay and disappointment.

"I'm leaving," Junko said.

"I need to come with you too," Ai said.

The two zombies left Saki to her devices, leaving the biker zombie alone with the Legendary Tae Yamada. At least there was some company after all that had happened.

…

Plants vs Zombies:

"NO!" Sakura said. "After being a zombie for who knows how long, I am slowly developing a fear of plants! I don't want to be afraid of cherry blossoms!"

At the moment, Sakura and Yuugiri are sharing a tablet and playing Plants vs Zombies for their reaction youtube channel. It was requested as a joke or out of spite. Either way, the long wait for a reaction is here.

"I doubt a bonsai tree will try to kill us," Yuugiri said. "Though possessed ones or the yokai variety would."

"You are not helping," Sakura said as she set up the sunflowers to gain some energy in the game.

"I personally find this form tower defense to be charming in its own way. Very useful if this were real," Yuugiri said. "Granted, we would need to train the plants to not harm us."

"Still, I'm worried that some cute flower will try to kill us," Sakura said as she added a Chomper in the front lines that went to chomp on some zombies.

"My apologies Sakura-han. I simply find this game to be cute," Yuugiri said. "Especially the

"It is and I would have loved it when I was alive," Sakura said. "Lily might like it too but the others might be offended. I would not know how Tae-chan will feel about this."

"Funny thing about that, Tae-han did set up a botanic defense garden outside against a threat that plagues this mansion," Yuugiri said.

"Excuse me?" Sakura asked.

"Please follow me," Yuugiri said as she led Sakura to a window.

Outside, there was a war against zombies, fanboys, necrophiliacs, others, or all of the above with plants as part of the mansion's line of defense. Sakura's eyes bulge to see that the game she is playing is being depicted realistically outside.

"Why?!" Sakura asked.

"It started last night with some thumps near my room. I consulted our manager and she consulted her servants and Tae-han. It then led to this," Yuugiri said.

"I see zombies, kind of expected this. Especially from the rumors," Sakura said as she found a pair of binoculars to have a better look. "Wait, what the heck is that thing?!"

"I believe he calls himself Kuroto Dan Deus or Kamen Rider Gemn. The Dangerous Zombie. I guess he counts," Yuugiri said, "Though I only assumed that is the case from all of his screaming."

"Is that Lily's servant as well?!" Sakura asked again. "There's also our manager's band and her friends at school. Oh god! They are being ripped to shreds! How do we explain this to Kokoro-chan?! Oh no! One of our fans was shot by a plant too! Poor kid!"

"Honestly that fox should give up," Yuugiri said. "Oh, there's also the metal heads from our first concert… but they are no more."

"This isn't just Plants vs Zombies. It's a war against the world! Who even cause all of this?!" Sakura asked.

From afar is a man riding on a chariot as he struggles to get through the plants. The potatoes were in the way as a barricade with the seeds tearing the vehicle apart. The rider himself is none other than…

"KOTARO-SAN!" Sakura said with much surprise.

"YOU STUPID ZOMBIES! YOU BELONG TO ME!" Kotaro said as he rallied everyone to fight against the plants, "EVERYONE! WE MUST FIGHT FOR THOSE STUPID ZOMBIES!"

"FOR THE STUPID ZOMBIES!" the crowd said as they roared and charged forward despite the fact that they are in a huge disadvantage.

"Huh, so that's what the potatoes do," Sakura said while looking more dead than Tae. "They act as a barrier. I thought they did nothing."

"Are you feeling well Sakura-han?" Yuugiri asked.

"I'm fine. I'll just keep playing this game," Sakura said as she went back inside and used what she saw as a reference in her future playthroughs. She did finish the game easily as a result.

Author's notes: There! I did a Persona and Plants vs Zombies chapter and added a Mario in it. I know it's not Persona 3 but still. I assure you all that I was not taking any drugs when writing this chapter and had a month contemplating about my life. I just wrote what I felt was funny and went with it. Especially after all that has happened so far since the last time, I posted a chapter.

At first, I was considering in ending the series due to how the reviews and messages I have been getting seems discouraging. It used to be just requests but then it felt forced upon me. When writing this chapter, I regained my mojo and understood why I loved writing these chapters. I needed a way to vent out really random and stupid stuff. So, I decided to continue whatever I felt like and may lead up to a possible big Fate/Stay Night chapter where the zombie girls will react to the entire series, at least the anime. No guarantees.

Also yes, I recently binged Kamen Rider Ex-Aid with friends and just had to reference our meme lord Kuroto Dan with the fact that he is a "Dangerous Zombie". Emphasis on "Dangerous". And yes, Kotaro has the same actor as Ryuji in the Japanese version of Persona 5.

See you all soon.
