In the dungeons…
"Let me out of here and where did you damn knights taken Takamaki-san!?" snapped Kanakubo-sensei as he glared at the single silent knight that stands (and ignoring him) outside the dungeon room that he's locked in after the 3 knights that he and Ann encountered outside the castle earlier grab hold and took them into the castle before one of the knights that grab hold of Kanakubo-sensei bring him away from Ann down to the dungeon area, unlock and open the door to one of the cell rooms, shoved Kanakubo-sensei roughly into the cell room before the knight closed and locked the door and turned his back to Kanakubo-sensei. "Answer me, dammit!" snapped Kanakubo-sensei again at the silent knight before he heard the sound of approaching footsteps and he widened his eyes in disbelief and shock at seeing who it is.
"Well well, what have we here? If it isn't the damn annoying thorn in my side, Kanakubo-sensei. Hmph, what an unpleasant surprise to see you as yet another intruder that dare to step foot into my castle just like Sakamoto, Arisato and the criminal record delinquent did for the past few days." said Shadow Kamoshida as he stopped in front of the cell and glance smugly at Kanakubo-sensei.
"Huh? Is that you, Kamoshida? What're you doing here and wearing such a ridiculous and vulgar outfit too?" said Kanakubo-sensei as he scowled in disgust at Shadow Kamoshida and his vulgar outfit.
"What am I doing here, you say? Because this is my castle, a place where I do whatever I damn well pleased and you dare to say that this outfit of mine is ridiculous and vulgar? For that insult of yours, your punishment is death." said Shadow Kamoshida more smugly at Kanakubo-sensei before he glance at the knight standing outside the cell. "I'll leave you to be Kanakubo's punisher and executioner, beat then execute him because I'm going to check out the other intruder that came with him." ordered Shadow Kamoshida to the knight.
"Yes, your majesty!" said the knight as he nodded obediently at Shadow Kamoshida before he unlock and open the door and went into the room to carry out his order.
"What!? Are you insane and you stay the hell away from Takamaki-san, you…" snarled Kanakubo as he glared at the back of Shadow Kamoshida as he turned and walked away.
"Silence!" snapped the knight as he slammed the blunt end of his sword hard against Kanakubo's stomach, causing him to let out a yell of pain before he fell to his knees on the floor while he clutch his injured stomach with his arms.

"Ugh, just how big is this dungeon place of Kamoshida and where the heck did he put Kanakubo-sensei?" groaned sERAPH with a frustrated look on his face as he stepped into yet another huge dungeon place filled with partially empty cell rooms (that he saw had injured Shujin male students locked in them) before he heard the familiar yell of pain of Kanakubo-sensei somewhere in front of him. "Hm? That sound, it's…"
"Yeah, it's the voice of your teacher and sounds like he's in trouble! Hurry, Mi… I mean, Seraph!" said Orpheus worriedly to Seraph (who quickly rush down the hallway toward where Kanakubo-sensei's voice come from).
XXXX
"Ugh…" groaned Kanakubo-sensei as he's now lying face-down on the floor while his body throbbed with more pain after the knight beat him up with it's fists and shield.
"I think that's enough of me beating you up, it's time for me to sent you on your way to your maker, intruder." said the knight as he raised his sword above Kanakubo-sensei.
"Goddammit, I hate how weak and useless I am now! Not only am I unable to defend and protect the Shujin students from Kamoshida's reign of tyranny, unable to stop him from going after Takamaki-san and now I'm going to be executed by this knight of his after he beaten me up? Oh hell no! I had enough and refused to let Kamoshida do whatever he damn well pleased anymore!" thought Kanakubo-sensei as he glared up at the knight.
"That's more like it and how right you are, un jeune homme." said a deep french male voice to Kanakubo-sensei before his eyes suddenly turned yellow and an unbearable pain wracked his head, which caused him to clutched his throbbing head with his hands while he grunted and writhed in pain and agony on the floor (which make the knight step back in confusion at Kanakubo-sensei suddenly acting out). "Now that you've finally accept and taken your "other self" will of rebellion to the next level, it's time we form a pact, a pact that shall turned you into the rebellious knight that showed and take this dastardly king down from his throne of tyranny, for I am thou, thou art I!" added the male voice firmly to Kanakubo-sensei (who stop grunting and writhing in pain and agony) before a silver-coloured knight helmet appear and covered the upper-half of his face.
XXXX
"Finally found you, sensei! Now I'm going to…" thought Seraph as he finally arrived and found Kanakubo-sensei inside a cell room with one of Shadow Kamoshida's knights with him and as Seraph's about to aid him, a surprise look appear on Seraph's face when he saw a silver-coloured knight helmet appear and covered the upper-half ofKanakubo-sensei's face. "Huh? A different mask… no, a different helmet appear on sensei's face?" thought Seraph to himself.
"Yeah. Which means that he has awaken to his persona like Joker, Mona and Skull did so you need to stay back like before, Seraph." said Messiah.
"Fine, Messiah." said Seraph before he (and Messiah) fell silent and watched the event unfold.
XXXX
Kanakubo-sensei tightly grab hold, struggle and managed to ripped the knight helmet away with his hands, causes blood to burst out and run down his face as he screamed in pain before a strong beam of dark blue flame suddenly appear and enveloped around Kanakubo-sensei for a few seconds then the dark blue flame dissipated away to reveal Kanakubo-sensei wearing a full silver-coloured military/knight mixture outfit with a long and wide white cape down his back and holding a halberd weapon in his hands with a brave-looking Persona (a white-faced, amber-eyed man wearing a full French style golden knight outfit with matching long cape down his back and holding a two-handed sword in his hands) floating in thin air above Kanakubo-sensei.
"Woah. This feeling of awakening to my Persona, Roland is great! Now to get rid of this knight that almost killed me before I leave to find Takamaki-san." thought Kanakubo-sensei to himself before he got into a battle stance, told his persona to used Magna skill twice on the knight, causing the knight to yell out and fell down before Kanakubo-sensei approach, raised and plunge his halberd weapon deep into the knight's chest, causing the knight to yell out again before he dissipated into black mist and right after the knight disappear, Kanakubo-sensei's Persona also disappear back into his soul before Seraph showed himself in front of Kanakubo-sensei (who's surprise to see Seraph inside Kamoshida's palace) before Seraph help bring and guide Kanakubo-sensei's away with him out of the huge dungeon place to rejoined Joker, Skull and Mona and also finding and rescuing Ann.

Meanwhile, inside another room in Kamoshida's Palace…
After the knights brought Ann and Kanakubo-sensei into the castle with them, they immediately took her away from Kanakubo-sensei down several rooms and hallways and into a completely red-coloured room with dozens of pink flower petals, lit candles and pink-skinned faceless girls wearing nothing but tight-looking white short sleeve shirts and dark panties (which make Ann had a disgusted look on her face when she saw them) scattering and lying on the floor and they bound her arms and legs against the manacles on a wooden X-shaped cross with a large portrait of a shirtless Kamoshida hanging on the wall behind her.
"What's all this about and where did you all took Kanakubo-sensei!? Seriously, I'm gonna call the cops!" snapped Ann to the 2 knights standing and watching in front of her as she try to freed her arms and legs from the manacles to no avail.
"So, this is the other intruder, huh?" said Shadow Kamoshida as he stepped into the room, approach and stopped to glance at Ann.
"Kamoshida!?" said Ann with a surprise look on her face at Shadow Kamoshida before she's surprise even more when she saw the copy of herself wearing a bikini and a crown on her head followed and stopped beside him. "Huh? Who's that…? More importantly, what is this place!? Why's the school turned into something like this!?" demanded Ann to Shadow Kamoshida.
"I can't believe you knights mistook my Ann for someone like her." sneered Shadow Kamoshida at his knights before he began chuckling wickedly at her. "Are you afraid?" asked Shadow Kamoshida in a taunting tone of voice to her.
"What is that outfit…? Have you lost your mind?" said Ann skeptically to Shadow Kamoshida.
"I do as I please here. After all, this is my castle… The world of my desires." said Shadow Kamoshida as he smirked at her.
"What the-!? Wait… Is this some red-light district!?" said Ann in disbelief as she struggle against the cross.
"What a lively slave." said Shadow Kamoshida in a mock-happy tone of voice to Ann.
"This isn't funny! Enough of the bullshit, Kamoshida!" snapped Ann angrily at Shadow Kamoshida (who let out a "tch" sound before he turned to glance at not-Ann).
"The inpertinent girl's decided to tell me off. What do you think about that?" asked Shadow Kamoshida coolly to not-Ann.
"Talking back is like… totally unforgivable…" replied not-Ann slowly and seductively to Shadow Kamoshida.
"In that case… she should be executed." sneered Shadow Kamoshida as he turned and lightly glared back at Ann as he tilted his head to the golden knight to silently ordered him to walked closer to Ann and he did. "Now then, how shall I play with you? Shall I tear you into little pieces?" taunted Shadow Kamoshida as he smiled wickedly to Ann.
"Are you kidding me…?" said Ann in fear and disbelief at Shadow Kamoshida.
XXXX
"This is effed up… Is that what he thinks of the girls on the volleyball team…!?" said Skull as he, Joker and Mona stared in anger and disgust at the faceless girls moaning, sitting and sprawled out seductively on the floor in front of them after they stepped into the room.
"What a disgusting man. How could he go this far and do this to not only Suzui-san but these other girls too!" said Joker in a horror, anger then disgust tone of voice at Kamoshida.
"Hey, that's…!" yell Mona to Joker and Skull as he turned and saw Ann shackled up on a cross and surrounded by Shadow Kamoshida, not-Ann and the knights with a shock look on his face before they quickly run toward her.
"Takamaki!" yell Skull worriedly to Ann as he clench his fists.
"Takamaki-san!" yell Joker worriedly as well.
"You thieves again? Just when I was about to start enjoying myself…" said Shadow Kamoshida as he turned to glance and scowled darkly at them for coming and interrupting his fun.
"What's the deal with this guy…!?" yell Ann incredulously to them.
"You little…!" growled Skull as he glared at Shadow Kamoshida.
"Release Takamaki-san now!" said Joker firmly and angrily to Shadow Kamoshida.
"Hmph, as if I would listen to a criminal brat like you… How many times are you gonna come back?" Shadow Kamoshida sneered at Joker, Skull and Mona before he glance back at Ann. "I bet you're just like those thieves. You came because you're pissed at me, huh? But, ah… I forget that chick's name, but it's your fault she jumped, you know." said Shadow Kamoshida mockingly to Ann.
"Huh…?" said Ann in confusion at Shadow Kamoshida.
"You were so reluctant to throw yourself onto me that I had her take your place." said Shadow Kamoshida.
"You bastard!" yell Ann angrily at Shadow Kamoshida as she struggle even more against the cross before she gasped in fear when the golden knight move even closer.
"No! Get away from her!" yell Skull as he's about to charge forward and intercept the knights but they both stopped when they saw Shadow Kamoshida raised his hand to the knights, silently ordering them to raised their swords near Ann's chest.
"Take one more step and I'll kill her on the spot." said Shadow Kamoshida threateningly to them.
"Dammit…!" said Skull as he gritted his teeth in frustration.
"You bastard!" snapped Joker as he glared hatefully at Shadow Kamoshida.
"Just stand back, watch and enjoy the dismantlement show." said Shadow Kamoshida smugly to them.
"No! Don't!" protested Ann with a pale look on her face.
"Maybe I'll start with her clothes…" said Shadow Kamoshida as he glance back at Ann with a perverted look on his face.
"You're such a perv!" purred not-Ann happily to Shadow Kamoshida.
"We have to do something to save Takamaki-san somehow! But what should we do!?" thought Joker anxiously in his mind.
"H-Hey, what are we gonna do!?" demanded Skull worriedly to Mona (who shook his head at Skull).
"Is this… my punishment for what happened to Shiho….?" said Ann sorrowfully to herself and to Shiho as she lowered her head to look down at the floor.
"That's more like it. You should've looked like this from the start." said Shadow Kamoshida smugly to Ann.
"Shiho… I'm so sorry…" whisper Ann as tears started to glisten in her eyes.
"What are you doing, Takamaki-san? Are you just going to listen? Don't you dare give in and let him get away with it!" Joker reprimanded Ann.
"Huh…?" said Ann as she raised to glance in surprise and confusion at Joker reprimanding her before a stern and determined look appear and replaced the previous sorrow and defeated look on her face. "No… I don't want that… You're right. Letting this piece of shit toy with me… What was I thinking…!?" added Ann angrily to herself as she struggle in her shackles again.
"It's like I always say. Slaves should just behave and-" said Shadow Kamoshida as he scowled at her, trying to revert her back to her sorrow and defeated self.
"…Shut up!" snapped Ann, cutting off Shadow Kamoshida's words. "I've had enough of this… You've pissed me off, you son of a bitch!" added Ann as she glared hatefully at Shadow Kamoshida.
"My… It's taken far too long." said a slightly deep and refined woman's voice slightly impatiently to Ann before her eyes abruptly turned yellow and she gasped out loud when she felt an indescribable pain suddenly wracked her head and body.
"Tell me… Who is going to avenge her if you don't?" asked the woman's voice sternly to Ann (who closed her eyes as she gasped and writhed even more in pain in her shackles).
"Forgiving him was never the option… Such is the scream of the other you that dwells within… I am thou, thou art I… We can finally forged a contract…" the woman's voice told Ann (who let out a scream of pain and agony before she slumped down in exhaustion).
"I hear you… Carmen. You're right. No more holding back…!" said Ann quite loudly and in agreement to the woman's voice named Carmen before a red-coloured cat-shaped mask appear on her face (which make both Shadow Kamoshida and not-Ann gasped and step back in nervousness).
"There you go… Nothing can be solved by restraining yourself. Understand? Then I'll gladly lend you my strength." said Carmen proudly to Ann as she finally break her arms and legs free from the shackles of the cross before she grabbed and ripped off her mask, causes blood to burst out and run down her face before a strong beam of dark blue flames suddenly appear and enveloped around Ann before the flames died down to reveal Ann (whose uniform had change into a different tight-looking red latex zipper suit with cleavage cutout on it and a clipped on long red tail behind it, dark red thigh high boots on her legs and a pair of pink gloves on her hands) with a tall, large, slim-looking, dark-skinned, shoulder-length and curly black-haired, yellow-eyed woman wearing a sleeveless layered red, pink and black-coloured stripe dress as she holds a heart-shaped face man wearing a black suit by the back collar of his suit while she stepped on the back of another under her stiletto shoe as she stands behind Ann.
After Ann awakened to her Persona, she glance in defiance at Shadow Kamoshida, not-Ann and his knights before she charge toward one of the nearest knights, kicked his sword out of his hand up into the air, jumped and grabbed hold of the sword with her hands before she swung the sword down on not-Ann, which make her scream out in surprise and pain before she fell to her knees and dissipated into black mists.
Shadow Kamoshida step back even more in nervousness and fear from Ann after she got rid of her copy while the golden-armored knight moved in front of him to protect him from her.
"You know what? I'm not some cheap girl you can toy with… you scumbag." said Ann coldly to Shadow Kamoshida as she stood up and glared at him.
"Bitch…!" muttered Shadow Kamoshida angrily as he glared back at her.
"You stole everything from Shiho… You destroyed her… Now it's your turn! I'll rob you of everything…!" yell Ann as she take a few steps forward, raised and pointed a finger accusingly at Kamoshida while Joker, Skull and Mona walked forward and stood on both sides of her.
"How dare you! Enough of your insolence!" yell the golden knight angrily at Ann before he and 2 of his fellow knights standing with him started to shake, melted down to a large puddle on the floor and merged together before they formed and reveal a large, purple-skinned, red-eyed horned and bearded demon sitting on a toilet seat.
"No, I've enough of you. Nothing and no one's gonna stop me now! Let's go, Carmen!" retorted Ann to the demon as she clench her hands into fists before she and the others got into their battle stances.
"How dare you deny King Kamoshida's love, you selfish lass!? Pay for this insolence with your life!" exclaimed the demon angrily to Ann.
"That dirtbag just sees women as sexual outlets! Don't make me laugh with that "love" bullshit!" snapped Ann angrily to the demon as a whip weapon appear in front of her and she take it in her hands. "C'mon, Carmen! Let's give 'em a fiery hell!" said Ann to Carmen.
"Of course, my mistress." said Carmen as she nodded to Ann, who charge toward the shadow with Joker, Skull and Mona and they proceed to attack it relentlessly with their weapons, managed to knock it down before they jumped and attack it swiftly from all sides.
The shadow was not amused with their attacks as it got up from the floor, healed it's injuries a little with a Dia skill before it uses Magaru skill on all of them, injuring them a little and managed to knock Skull down.
"Skull!" yell Joker concernly to Skull before he glared at the shadow. "You'll pay for that! Come, Pyro Jack!" said Joker angrily at the shadow before he switch his persona Arsene to Pyro Jack and uses Agi skill on it, knock it down again before he, Mona and Ann jumped and attack it from all sides again until they defeated it.
"To think… there would be a woman… who could stand up to King Kamoshida…" said the shadow weakly to Ann.
"Pff, outside of school, that guy's nothing but a pathetic loser!" said Ann mockingly to the shadow before it dissipated into black mist while Joker helped Skull to stand up from the floor.
After the shadow dissipated away, Joker, Skull and Mona turned to glared at Shadow Kamoshida while Ann panted tiredly as she hunched over and placed her hands on her knees.
"Oh shit…!" said Shadow Kamoshida fearfully to himself before he quickly turned and run out of the room and away from them.
"Wait…!" yell Ann as she try to go after him but fell to her knees in exhaustion.
"Why'd you come here, man!? And more importantly, how!?" yell Skull in a reprimanding tone of voice to Ann.
"Hey! Is that how you speak to a woman!?" snapped Mona as he scowled at Skull before he glance concernly at Ann. "Are you all right, Lady Ann!?" asked Mona softly to Ann.
"Lady Ann…?" said Ann as she glance at Mona in surprise and confusion. "Wait, what is this thing? Is it alive…? How can it talk? And… where in the world are we…!?" demanded Ann to them.
"J-Just calm down. Everything's going to be OK; don't worry." said Mona reassuringly to Ann.
"How am I supposed to calm down!?" yell Ann quite frustratedly to Mona before she glance down and saw her new outfit with a disbelief look on her face. "H-Huh…? Why am I dressed like this!? When did I- Ugh, what's with this!?" added Ann as she covered her body with her arms and kneel down in embarrassment.
"We'll explain to slowly to you later, Takamaki-san. Right now we need regroup with Seraph and Kanakubo-sensei and get out of here before Kamoshida return with reinforcements." said Joker warningly to Ann and to the others.
"Joker's right, guys! We don't have a choice. Let's retreat for now!" said Mona as he glance at Skull.
"We were just getting' fired up, and you had to come and get in the way… Rgh, fine…" grumbled Skull before he approach Ann and hold out his lefy hand. "Here… give us your arms." Skull told Ann before she warily placed her hands on his and stood up just as both Seraph and Kanakubo-sensei stepped into the room (which caused Joker, Skull, Mona and Ann to have relief then surprise looks on their faces at Kanakubo-sensei's knight outfit) before they turned and quickly left the castle.
