"So wheres the Calling Card Yusuke?" Akira said asking his friend.

"Its been mailed to him." Yusuke said, Akira then suddenly was amazed.

"Oh! We gotta get ready!" Akira said, Yusuke nodded.

"Right, We gotta move." Morgana said from Akira's bag.

"Shadow Connor, Here we come for a change of heart!" Akira said to himself.

Meanwhile at the CYHQ

"Sir, You got a piece of mail." A reporter asked Connor.

"Bring it in, It's just junk I bet." Connor said being annoyed.

"No, It's something like a calling card." The reporter said, Connor then was surprised.

"WHAT!? Come in! Show it to me!" Connor said as the reporter came in and showed Connor the Calling Card.

"Sir, You wanna read this?" The reporter said as Connor was more annoyed.

"What is this calling card? Who wrote it!?" Connor said.

"A... Calling card, From this PSI group...?" The reporter read the name carefully.

"Read it to me! This better be a prank." Connor snapped.

"Okay... Um, Dear Mister Connor Yaotani. You have been sinned for making games that were better than regular ones and saying that games are more popular than we are. We will show you why we are better by changing your own dark heart. From the Phantom SEES Investigation squad." The reporter read the calling card, Connor was pissed off. Then he took a deep breath.

"Alright, Throw it away. Just a prank from somebody!" Connor said to the reporter.

"Okay sir..." The reporter said as he left the room, Connor clutched his hand into a fist.

"PHANTOM SEES INVESTIGATION SQUAD? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" Shadow Connor said in an angry tone, The treasure was revealed.

"Calling Card is sent!" Ryuji said being happy.

"Alright, We gotta go. One time only." Akira said as everyone was ready for the second boss fight.

VGHQ 6F 4:25 P.M.

"This is it, He awaits us... Shadow Connor behind this door." Joker said as he tried to enter, The door didn't budge at all.

"Huh? It won't budge? Let me open it." Kanji said as he came closer, Skull noticed something.

"Hold on, No keycard access?" Skull said, Everyone was now upset.

"Damnit! It's ruined! Now we'll never get the treasure!" Skull said being angry, Mona sighed in sadness.

"I think we got something Skull. Hold on." Joker said to his teammate.

"What can we try?" Naoto asked Joker.

"Let's try the keycard from Flowers we got from Narukami earlier." Joker said as he pulled it out and stuck it in. The door suddenly said "Access" and it opened! Everyone entered the room to see a figure stand there.

"There you are damnit!" Kanji said at the shadow figure.

"I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. PHANTOM THIEVES." Shadow Connor said with a smile on his face.

"Waiting for us? Damnit he knows about us!" Junpei said.

"Don't be like that, He never met us. So we see him for the first time." Ken said to Junpei.

"We finally meet. Shadow Connor!" Yu said staring at the shadow figure.

"So, Your the one who attacked us earlier, You thought we were the Phantom Thieves instead." Naoto said.

"Why are you treating your humans with robots? Are they not suppose to be here!?" Mitsuru asked questions to the shadow, He just chuckled.

"THAT IS RIGHT, HUMANS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS WORLD." Shadow Connor said boldly. His voice was so loud too.

"Dude, Why does he sound so Robotic and so loud?" Skull said covering his ears.

"Ugh. Disgusting tone! Not better as Aigis' tone." Panther said as Aigis looked at Ann.

"Thanks for the compliment." Aigis said.

"If you want to attack people for fun and make them fall for video games. Why are you doing that?" Naoto said pointing at Shadow Connor.

"VIDEO GAMES ARE THE BEST, THEY NEVER CAUSE VIOLENCE TO ME. OTHERS WHO DO IT ARE JUST MORE THAN IDIOTIC DUMBASSES WHO TRY TO MOCK IT IN REAL LIFE!" Shadow Connor said in bold words.

"Mock them!?" Queen said in shock.

"I'll tell you what, Those video games are cool! But you can kiss our asses once you lose!" Oracle said as she was going against the shadow.

"Thats right, We will show society what we are! Cause your the victim who will change heart!" Minato said.

"Attacking people sounds stupid is one thing! We nearly died cause of you!" Naoto said being angry at Shadow Connor.

"If it's a battle you want for your rights. We'll do it no matter what!" Yu said. Shadow Connor shook his head.

"IF YOU FIGHT ME, YOU GOT A DEATHWISH COMING!" Shadow Connor threatened the group.

"You'll be the one crying to the public once you lose!" Youske said.

"Yeah, We never lost a big battle! We can show you why we are better!" Akihiko said being ready for a battle.

"Yeah, We will show victory! We'll show the media your sad tears!" Chie said being warmed up.

"UNIT #8704, DESTROY THESE PEOPLE, YOU'LL GET A RAISE." Shadow Connor said, Everyone looked at Flowers. Her head was down... She slowly spoke.

"I... I... I REFUSE!" Flowers said, Shadow Connor couldn't believe it.

"WHAT? YOU REFUSE?" Shadow connor repeated, Flowers wasn't happy with him anymore.

"THESE PEOPLE SHOW MY BONDS AND POWER, YOU NEVER TREAT ME LIKE THAT, I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU!" Flowers said as she went back to the PSI group.

"Flowers... Thank you." Aigis said smiling at her robotic friend.

"You did it, You refused to listen. We did show you respect." Yukiko said being happy.

"See Shadow Connor? We have reasons for Flowers and not you!" Hamuko said as the shadow turned his hand into a fist.

"So go get your robotic assy fingers off her, She allows whatever she wants in this place!" Skull said ranting at the shadow.

"Skull is right, Your ass doesn't let you command robots to attack us, Your just a sad bastard chump thats got life." Junpei said standing up for Flowers also.

"GRRRRR! SECURITY! ATTACK THEM! AND DESTROY UNIT #8704 AT ALL COSTS!" Shadow Connor said as enemies appeared and dashed toward the group.

"Watch out!" Fox said as some enemies dashed through, One clipped through Minato's cheek and he started to bleed from the cut.

"Yikes! Okay! Want to play the hard way? THEN YOU GOT YOURSELVES A HARD WAY!"

"Calm the hell down Minato!" Yukari said at their leader.

"No! Orpheus! Agilao!" Minato said as he began attacking.

"Protect Flowers at all costs!" Joker said as two enemies used Agilao that were coming for flowers.

"Flowers!" Minato said as two chains blocked the Agilao attacks.

"Get outta here chumps!" Juan said yelling at the two security squadrons.

"Juan? Chukya?" Joker said, As the two were ready for battle.

"We'll protect flowers. Come on." Chukya said as another attack came in.

"Watch out!" Hamuko said, They got blasted a a Kougaon.

"Argh!" Juan said as they were tossed back.

"Maeiga!" Joker said brutally damaging their security guards.

"Magaru!" Mona said as he finished one of the two.

"Garu!" Youske said as he finished the other guard. They then focused on Connor.

"Oracle! Can you scan for a weakness?" Joker said asking the Navigator.

"Mweheheh! I sure can scan for a weakness!" Oracle said as she went inside her Persona.

"Let me help also! This might take some time though." Rise said joining Oracle.

"Thanks Rise! Just hang in there Joker!" Yu said to his friend.

"Arsene! Eiga!" Joker said as he attacked first.

"Izanagi! Zionga!" Yu said as he shocked shadow Connor.

"Zorro! Lucky Punch!" Mona said as he got a lucky Critical that Shadow Connor stumbled on.

"Trismegistis! Arm Chopper!" Junpei said as he made Shadow Connor weaker suddenly.

"Milady! Psio!" Noir said as she nearly got him down the health.

"Johanna! Mafrei!" Queen said as she finished the enemies. Shadow Connor suddenly restored his health!

"He restored his Health!?" Mitsuru said being surprised.

"Keep attacking then!" Queen said as everyone kept going.

"Tomoe! Rampage!" Chie said as she brutally hit hard with Rampage.

"Jack Frost! Bufula!" Yu said changing his persona.

"Orpheus! Agi!" Hamuko said as she hit him with a weak Agi.

"Carmen! Agilao!" Panther said damaging Shadow Connor.

"Captain Kidd! Headbutt!" Skull said as Shadow Connor flinched, He then healed himself again!

"Ugh, Of course he heals himself!" Naoto said being annoyed.

"TAKE THIS!" Shadow Connor said using Maragion, Then Arrow Rain, Everyone blocked it with their guarding skills.

"We got his weakness! It's Ice and Curse! He resists Wind and Light!" Fuuka said as she revealed his weakness.

"Thanks Oracle! Know we know about it!" Joker said thanking the teammate.

"Hey! Look out!" Hamuko said as he used Maragion again.

"Megidola!" Naoto said as she tried to block the attack, But it hit everyone as they got knocked down.

"Agh! God damnit!" Junpei said fighting the pain.

"That hurts... You all okay?" Yukari said as everyone noddded.

"Yeah, How did he heal?" Noir said.

"Did he use a supply line?" Aigis said as nothing opened.

"I don't know, We gotta keep fighting!" Ken said as he never gave up.

"I don't think so, We gotta destroy the line first, Then finish the fight." Noir said as everyone nodded to Haru's plan.

"Got it Noir, The supply line didn't reveal. Keep up everyone!" Yukari said.

"I KNOW HIS WEAKNESS. HIS SUPPLY LINE IS OVER THERE, YOU MUST DESTROY IT!" Flowers said

"Flowers, Okay got it! Someone watch the supply when it opens." Teddie said.

"Got this covered, He used wires so it's a simple cut." Junpei said as everyone nodded to know what they must do.

"Goemon! Giant Slice!" Fox said as he brutally hit Connor.

"Kintoki-Douji! Matarukaja!" Teddie said as he raised everyones attack stats.

"Artemisia! Disarm!" Mitsuru said as she binded Connor with a Strength Bind she used.

"HA, HAVE SOME OF THIS." Shadow Connor said as he used Tentarafoo that got Yu confused, Then used Marin Karin that got Naoto charmed.

"Oh no! Senpai is confused! And Naoto is charmed!" Rise said being surprised.

"Isis! Charmdi!" Yukari said as she got Naoto out of her Charm.

"Konohana-Sakuya! Me Patra!" Yukiko said as Yu was snapped out of Panic.

"Thanks you two." Naoto said as Yukari nodded, She fired an arrow.

"Kala-Nemi! Cruel Attack!" Ken said as his Persona hit hard.

"Milady! Psio again!" Noir said as she hit Shadow Connor with another Psio attack.

"TASTE THIS!" Shadow Connor said as he used Megidola that blocked all four attacks, Then he used Maragion again that knocked down Fox and Mitsuru.

"Senpai!" Yukari said coming over to help Mitsuru.

"Fox!" Noir said coming to Yusuke's aid.

"Ceasar! Zionga!" Akihiko said as he blasted Shadow Connor with a Zionga.

"Awooo!" Koromaru howled as he used Agilao.

"Arsene! Eiha!" Joker said as he gave a small tap to Shadow Connor.

"Izanagi! Zio!" Yu said as Shadow Connor was getting weaker.

"Take Mikazuchi! Kill Rush!" Kanji said as Shadow Connor nearly fell, Then he spoke.

"GOING...TO...FUEL...HEALTH..." Shadow Connor said weakly, Everyone then looked around.

"Where?" Mitsuru said looking around.

"Where?" Panther said trying to find the supply line.

"THERE! Quick!" Ken said pointing at the open wiring that was quick to reach Connor, He slowly was healing.

"Supply wire open! NOW!" Kanji said as Minato quickly dashed over and sliced the wiring.

"It's cut!" Minato said as Shadow Connor suffered damage.

"FUELING HEALTH...FA...IL...ED..." Shadow Connor said weakly.

"But now we know what to do." Hamuko said.

"Supply line destroyed! Just one last blow will do it!" Yukiko said as the small group was ready for finishing the fight.

"Arsene! Eiga!" Joker said.

"Vivian! Bufu!" Hamuko said as she weakened Shadow Connor.

"Kala-Nemi! Zionga!" Ken said helping out Hamuko and Joker.

"Captain Kidd! Lunge!" Skull said as Shadow Connor failed to get up, The battle was over.

"We did it, Game over!" Joker said punnly, Nobody was amused at the joke, He just shrugged.

"Well shadow Connor? What do you say for us now?" Yu said to the Shadow.

"I SHOULD'VE NOT DO-O-O-UBTED YOU..." Shadow Connor stuttered as his left eye was revealed.

"Know you know you should've not doubted us. Now confess to the public you were wrong about us." Joker said to the Shadow.

"And resign from your CEO." Yu finished in a deadpan tone.

"Isn't that too much?" Naoto asked Joker, He shook his head as a no.

"We make them confess, We don't kill them or force them to confess."

"ALRIG-G-G-G-HT... I WILL... DO...IT..." Shadow Connor finished.

"Guys, Were missing something!" Junpei said.

"Where is the treasure?" Fox said as Oracle pointed.

"It's right over there!" Panther said as a vault opened, It was a bunch of money!

"WOW! Look at the Money!" Queen said in awe, Everyone looked.

"But what about this palace?" Noir said looking around.

"We need someone to take care of it." Minato said as everyone looked at Flowers, She looked confused.

"Flowers? You sure you can manage this?" Aigis said asking her, She nodded.

"OF COURSE, I WAS BUILT HERE. DON'T WORRY..." Flowers cheerily said to Aigis.

"Have we forgotten something?" Rise said as the building started rumbling wildly.

"This could collapse any second now!" Yu said being worried slightly.

"Thats right! The treasure!" Yukari said in realization.

"Uh... The fuck?" Junpei said being disgusted on what Morgana was doing.

"Oooh yeah, The treasure... Aaah..." Mona purred as he was enjoying the video game money.

"Oh for fucks fake Mona!" Skull said being annoyed as hell.

"Is he always like that when he sees treasure?" Chie said looking at Joker.

"I don't blame him, Buts gonna collapse any moment now!"

"Come on cat we gotta go! YEET!" Skull said as he threw Morgana, He turned into the Bus.

"Its rude throwing animals you jerk!" Mona said angrily yelling at Skull.

"Wait, A car!?" Chie said in confusion.

"No time to explain! Let's bail! It's gonna disappear!" Oracle said to Chie.

"I hope he survives... Sorry Connor." Joker said leaving the weak shadow lying there.

"Please have a pleasant change of heart." Minato said as the group left the place with the treasure in hand, Shadow Connor was left alone in the room with nothing.

"Hmph, What a bad time..." A voice said as he fired a bullet that hit Shadow Connor.

"GUH!" Shadow Connor said as he was shot to death.

"Pathetic group letting their shadows guard down." The voice said as he finished off Shadow Connor.

"What chumps. Right?" Another voice said as it chuckled.

"That is right, Buncha assholes can suck by running away." The voice said.

"Lets get our asses outta here before we get crumbled to death." The other voice said again as they left.

"CRAP, CRAP, CRAP! DOES EVERY PALACE CRUMBLE LIKE THIS!?" Minato panicked as everyone was leaving in the Morgana Bus.

"Yeah! I don't know why though!" Yukiko said they were escaping uncontrollably.

"Were almost there! Keep going Mona!" Yukari said as they exited the building/

"Were out! WHOOOAH!" Joker said as they all transformed back out of the Shadow world.

"Where's the treasure?" Futaba said as everyone looked, It was the board game of Shogi.

"It's a board game? Shogi?" Fuuka said to Futaba, She nodded a yes.

"It used to be famous." Junpei said to Futaba and Fuuka.

"Guys, People are looking at us." Naoto said in realization, Parts of the crowd looked at the group.

"Well we gotta outta there, Now we await his change of heart." Akira said as the looking died down.

"That was damn intense, We nearly got crushed." Ken said panting as he got up.

"We got payback for nearly dying!" Youske said.

"Holy crap, I was scared from that. I don't wanna do that again!" Mitsuru said being worried.

"That was... Crazy. From my end." Yukiko said having a bad feeling.

"Yeah, Should we go leave now?" Fuuka said as some people still stared at them.

"Yeah I agree, I don't like how we appeared out of nowhere cause now everyone is staring at us..." Kanji said as they know how much they loved Rise.

"Okay, See you tomorrow at school everyone." Hamuko said to Akira.

"See you." Akira waved to Minato.

"Yeah, Thanks." Minato said as they left to rest.

"Now we wait for a change of heart." Ann said amazed.

"Oh and Kurusu?" Naoto said coming over to Akira.

"Hmm? What is it?" Akira said looking at Naoto.

"Nevermind, I'll leave it for tomorrow at school." Naoto said as she left towards Yu.

"Well that was weird." Akira said as Yu's team left to rest.

"Let's head back and rest." Morgana said as everyone parted their ways for now.

"Right, Come on." Akira said as he rested, He began to wait for the change of heart.
