"Hey, Akira right? Can we please save Senpai now!?" Rise said walking up to Akira.
"Yeah, Were doing that." Akira said, Rise was gleefully happy.
"Thank you! Now we can save my Senpai!" Rise cheerily said.
"Right, Lets get going soon." Akira said know he knows what his friends need to do.
"I hope we save senpai before he perishes." Rise said being slightly worried.
"Don't worry. It will be easy, Us Phantom Thieves know what to do." Akira said as they got done with school and did their usual meetup,
4:12 P.M. Shadow World VGHQ 3F
"YOUR BACK ONCE AGAIN." Flowers greeted the group once again.
"Yes, We need something to find someone." Naoto said.
"Senpai's name is Yu Narukami. Have you seen him?" Rise said at Flowers.
"NO, I HAVE BEEN TRYING. AND I AM MISSING SOMETHING IMPORTANT." Flowers said, Joker knew what it was.
"Important? Oh! That Keycard!" Joker realized, Flowers nodded.
"Keycard? What do you mean?" Naoto said as the I.T didn't remember, However Joker did.
"Remember we were evasdropping on Flowers? She said she lost her Keycard." Joker said to Minato, He nodded in agreement.
"Right, Can anyone scan for Yu-kun?" Noir said as Rise was shaking a little.
"O-Okay... If I can." Rise stutters, Fuuka looked at her and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Don't be a fret Rise-Chan, Let us help too." Fuuka said determingly.
"Yeah! Me and Fuuka are good navigators. We can work together!" Oracle said inside her persona. Fuuka then summoned Juno, Rise got Himiko out and the three of them began scanning.
"Hmm, Trying real hard. Oh! I can get the fourth floor!" Rise said as they got up to the next floor.
"Any signs Rise-San?" Youske said, Oracle was the first to respond.
"Hold on Naoto... Hmm! Oh!" Oracle suddenly said.
"Senpai is in there, I know it!" Rise stated as she was scanning with Himiko.
"Do you know what floor Rise-San? Nanako-chan was worried when her cousin didn't come home." Naoto said worried.
"Maybe 4F? Cause I sense someone there alone with so many red dots." Rise said from Himiko.
"Damn, Thats a floor up, We need an Air duct ASAP!" Skull said trying to rush the dungeon.
"Well its true, We don't want him to die right now." Yukari said.
"So? Standing around isn't helping him. We gotta get a move on!" Junpei said running off.
"Uh!? Hey wait Junpei! Stop you moron!" Akihiko said running after him.
"Hey Naoto, Me and Mona want to apologize..." Joker said to Naoto.
"You and Mona for what?" Naoto said confused.
"That incident the other day on Thursday after the school ended?" Joker remembered that Naoto was ready for.
"What would you do to me if I didn't run away? Would you put me behind bars?" Joker said about that incident earlier.
"No, I wanted to interrogate with you, Why did you become a Phantom Thief?" Naoto said glaring at Joker.
"Why did I...? Oh god... How do I know...? Maybe it's cause we were only trying to take down Adults with a rotten heart that needed to be changed." Joker said his story in a short version.
"Yeah, We were born with the Personas to take down the Rotten hearts of evil Adults." Morgana said happily.
"But someone said that they wanted to Investigate this shadow world and destroy it's meaning." Joker finished his story.
"What the... Fu-" Naoto said in awe, Yukari waved at the three.
"Come on you three, What are you standing around for?" Yukari said looking at them.
"Oh coming!" Joker said as they dashed along.
"Bark Bark!" Koromaru barked.
"Be careful. There might be enemies up ahead." Ken said.
"FOE's too." Hamuko added.
"What the hell. No enemies makes it creepy with the silence of the tubes going up and down the chutes." Queen said feeling a chill down her spine.
"Hmm... Wait what in the hell?" Minato said as there was nothing more, That it was a short floor.
"A pod to the next floor?" Akihiko said looking at the ceiling.
"YES, THIS FLOOR PLANS TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO LET'S GO SAVE YOUR FRIEND." Flowers said, Everyone slowly went onto the pod.
"Okay... This is too easy." Joker said as they reached the next floor.
4F VGHQ
"Nothing much here." Rise said the moment they got up.
"Maybe cause the enemies are coming close to their leader."
"Oh Senpai..." Naoto said. Ann knew what was up.
"Don't be worried, We will save him." Panther said.
"You know, I kinda like whats going on." Mitsuru said being amazed at the technology around her.
"What? This whole dumb place with the crappy technology with little security?" Junpei ranted about the palace, Oracle didn't like that however,
"HEY! Don't doubt this place you know! I like it!" Oracle said as she scolded Junpei.
"Don't make Oracle mad. She loves technology." Noir reminded Junpei.
"Now I am getting scolded by a fifteen year old?" Junpei said as he was feeling his Karma.
"And a Phantom Thief." Minato smirked at his friend.
"Alright, Nice with the palace being 'oooh' and 'aaaah' but I think we should hurry." Fox said as everyone explored more, Then they noticed the multiple FOE's
"The FOE's. Look at them, Oh boy." Queen said having a bad gut feeling.
"It's a puzzle. We need to take a look." Mona said knowing they needed to study them more.
"So the FOE's are trying to block our thing from entering up ahead." Ken said as the FOE's jumped in a strange order. Then they felt worried.
"No! We can't give up easily! Were so close!" Rise refused to give up, Joker smirked.
"She's right, We never quit. That makes us cowards." Joker said as the Phantom Thieves agreed. Skull had a reckless idea.
"Alright... I got it, Stay here. Let me do this." Skull said as he looked at the FOE's.
"Skull!?" Panther said feeling anxious for her teammate. Skull gave a thumbs up.
"Don't worry! I took track so let me do this!" Skull said as he dashed off!
"Wait I take track too... Nevermind he's gonna get himself killed." Minato said, he sighed as Skull dashed off without him. Skull dashed through the FOE's and took a sharp left, Then he barely squeezed by another FOE and pulled a lever the opened the path for everyone.
"Wow Skull! Now that WAS amazing!" Noir said being amazed at Ryuji's skills.
"Thats our runner of Shujin high!" Joker said being amazed. Everyone came along and took a break. Rise, Fuuka and Futaba were scanning more.
"Hmm, No person were coming up on?" Mitsuru asked them, The three felt bad.
"Nah, Not here... it's too glitchy..." Fuuka said as she only feels static from inside her Persona..
"I CAN SENSE THEM, FROM THAT WAY." Flowers said pointing to the West.
"That way? Alright, Lets get going." Juan said as everyone kept going, They defeated more enemies and kept exploring until they met another strange looking door.
"This is the same door... But it's all different." Mona said.
"A gray colored door? Not like when we saved the I.T." Juan said looking at the door more sturdily.
"Let's enter anyways, Whatever gets in our way. We just remove." Chukya said as they entered, They all saw big dark legs! It was an FOE!
"An FOE! Retreat!" Juan shrieked.
"No! We can't let them stop us!" Naoto said being ready for battle, It didn't budge.
"Wait. Why is it not moving?" Youske said. They looked at it more, It was just a statue.
"Oh what the hell!? We were tricked by a statue?"
"Everyone! Look at this door!" Juan said, They noticed two doors with a Golden padlock on it's handles.
"It's a golden lock?" Kanji looked at it.
"Lets see... 'To unlocked the door, You must find and go through the colors of this order. Red, Green, Black, Pink.' Thats all it says, What does it mean..."
"Red, Green, Black and Pink?" Kanji said being confused.
"Well thats easy! We go through in order to advance!" Yukari said.
"Do those statues have to do something with those colors?" Aigis said looking at the flags blowing by the legs.
"Hmm, What if...?" Joker said as he went through the first one, It lit up. As he returned, Its lighting stopped.
"Oh, It's a one time use only. So we can't go back to back." Yukiko said noticing the lighting has vanished.
"Ah, So it's like lights in a Yukata." Teddie said as Kanji smacked him.
"Shut up, Don't say anything." Kanji said to teddie.
"But still, That might make things a lot harder for us to handle." Chie said.
"Alright, So the conveyer belt makes things tricky." Minato said, Joker chuckled as he done plenty of puzzles before.
"I see, We go through left, straight, right, straight and then back here." Fox said as he began studying the conveyer belts. Joker went through the order as the colors on the flags lit up, Then he returned and the Padlock opened! Everyone was amazed at this.
"It opened?! It must be the order we go through." Mitsuru said.
"There might be more up ahead. Lets be focused." Teddie said.
"That Bear is right, We might have to be more careful." Ken said, Teddie was not happy.
"At least call me by my name and not just a bear!" Teddie said angrily.
"Woof Woof!" Koromaru barked agreely, Teddie was very mad.
"Don't look at me like that." Teddie said at Koromaru, Skull stared at him.
"Teddie, Shut up. You don't want your ass hurt by me. I can hit hard with my Persona, So shut the hell up and be a good teammate." Skull said as he silenced Teddie with his sentence.
"Wah! I take it baaaack!" Teddie said as he began being silent, Everyone advanced.
"Where are the lights? It's so dark here." Yukari said being lightly worried,
"Wow, It's so creepy here... I feel like something will jump at us." Chie said being behind Yukari.
"Bwah... I feel worried. It's so dark." Teddie muttered, Youske bashed him.
"Shut up Teddie, I won't treat you otherwise." Youske threatened Teddie.
"Ah! Look! Over there!" Naoto said pointing at a gray haired boy who was fatally wounded by the many enemies and a single FOE who watched him.
"Thats your Senpai? Oh shit. He's hurt!" Joker said knowing he saw the many wounds on him.
"No time to waste! Let's hurry!" Aigis said as she went into battle mode.
"Konahana-Sakuya! Maragi!" Yukiko said as she laid out a surprise attack.
"Tomoe! Assault Dive!" Chie followed with her surprise attack, The enemies turned around and were in a battle.
"Berith! Assault Shot!" Minato said as he damaged the FOE.
"Caesar! Mazionga!" Akihiko said as his persona shocked enemies. The FOE became paralyzed.
"Kala-Nemi! Mahama!" Ken said as he instantly killed some enemies, The FOE resisted Bless attacks.
"Take this!" Juan said throwing chains at the enemies. The FOE was fighting through the Paralysis and was heading to Aigis.
"Look out Aigis!" Hamuko said, Aigis grabbed the wand of the FOE.
"Aigis! Let me aid you!" Minato said coming to aid, Aigis refused though.
"No...! I got this...!" Aigis said as she began lifting the FOE, Minato was amazed!
"Your..." Minato said looking Aigis, She looked at the shadows."
"I won't let you harm any more of my friends!" Aigis said she lifted the FOE, She then threw it at the many enemies which brutally killed half of them due to the weight of the FOE.
"Isis! Magaru!" Yukari said as she swept more enemies with her Wind Skills.
Zorro! Lucky Punch!" Mona said as he stunned the FOE with a Critical Hit.
"Persona! Black spot!" Chukya said as the FOE was nearly defeated.
"Makouga!" Naoto said as she finished the rest of the enemies, The FOE vanished also. Joker acquired the persona: Red Rider.
"Thats the last of them, Hey are you alright?" Joker said coming to the wounded Narukami, Yu reached his hand and grabbed onto Jokers.
"Thanks for saving me." Yu said to Joker who pulled him up.
"It's not a problem. Glad your safe Senpai." Naoto sighed in relief.
"I did manage to find this on the ground." Yu said pulling out a Keycard, Joker examined it. It was Flower's Keycard!
"THATS...! MY KEYCARD! THANK YOU!" Flowers said as Joker gave it to her. Juan took a peek at the Keycard.
"Wait, Your Keycard? Unit #8704?" Juan said looking at the card.
"Well yeah you dumb idiot. Every unit has a number." Chukya said at her brother.
"Piss off, I didn't ask you." Juan snapped at Chukya, They began bickering.
"Thank goodness your safe Senpai!" Rise said hugging Yu.
"Yeah... Ngh..." Yu said falling onto a knee, Everyone came to his aid.
"Senpai! Hang in there!" Rise said as she aided him.
"Here. Diarama!" Yukari said healing Yu with her Persona's power.
"There is still more up ahead." Joker said knowing whats gonna happen.
"We need him to rest. Thats the best part." Yukiko said as she looked at Yu's wounds.
"Let's take him back home, Please hang in there Senpai..." Naoto said carefully checking on Yu.
"Another Goho-M!" Joker said using another one as they all went back to the entrance. Then used the app to the real world where they took Yu home to rest.
"Can you take him home if you can?"
"It's a long ride by train. Do you want an Ambulance?" Mitsuru said having her Phone out, Yu refused the offer.
"No, I can make it..." Yu said as he slowly got up, The I.T came to his aid.
"Good, Lets return you for now and see what happens now." Mitsuru said as they took him home, Everyone was tired so they went ahead and rested up for tomorrow.
8:45 P.M.
"We got another member! This is great!" Morgana said happily.
"Thats makes it 28 people. Man do we feel strong?" Akira said amazed.
"Damn yeah! We got the biggest Alliance ever!" Morgana said being excited.
"Holy crap, I feel like we should be the most feared thing of Society." Akira realized.
"If we keep changing those hearts of those rotten and bastardly adults. We will be famous no matter what!" Morgana said being more happy.
"We can show people that last year was a fluke, This year will be a success!" Akira said.
"Alright, Let's get some rest." Morgana said as Akira yawned.
"Night Mona, Sleep peacefully." Akira said as he went to bed.
"Night Akira." Morgana said as he slept.
