Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #124 – Sae Niijima
From the day before the police could stop the Phantom Thieves to be led by Sae Niijima herself, today was the day to send the calling card out to her 'with Makoto taking care of the part to send to her sister from the mail'. For the others waited to take her heart back at the Metaverse to change her heart and prove in their innocents once and for all by tomorrow. And then later, they'll find the real master mind who's behind this whole thing to be stopped for good. With Makoto entering in the room to take care of one little thing very carefully, Sae looks at her mail to see the calling card to her surprise to be targeted next.
Sae: "Madame Sae Niijima, a great sinner of jealousy. You have lost yourself admit your obsession with success. For its sake, you are even willing to promote injustice as justice...From, Team Drago of the Phantom Thief of Hearts..."
Well, she read it and to Makoto 'to be acting' looked surprised for it to be in the mail and for Sae to read it.
Makoto: I found it in our mailbox...
Sae: To think they would send me one...They brand me a criminal and plan to change my heart? What nonsense! They only care about disposing of those who are an inconvenience for them! Fine...I'll just have to catch them first!
This gets the female lawyer mad to crumble up the calling card in her hands in anger.
Makoto: And when you do...you're going to interrogate them, right? In some kind of underground room, was it...?
A hidden underground of a police headquarters for the Phantom Thieves if they arrest them? Not good!
Sae: Why do you ask?
Makoto: Oh, I just remembered you mentioning something like that before...
Sae: That's right. It will be in a special interrogation room underground. My time will me limited, but I will do whatever it takes to make them divulge their secrets...
From there, then Sae Shadow speaks up to beat the Phantom Thieves in her own games for Makoto to sense out.
Sae Shadow: Let's do this fair and square...!
Here comes the security levels to be going up now, tomorrow will be a big battle on everything the Phantom Thieves can do.
Sae: I should probably be getting back. It's late, be I should contact the director and let him know about this calling card...I except things will calm down a little once the case is over. Once that happens...we don't we go on a trip to some hot springs? Just the two of us?
For Sae to still care for Makoto, she's just doing her job to get things fixed for the little sister to help out her older one the best she and the Phantom Thieves have to try to do.
Makoto: Sis...Um...I-I'm on your side! I won't let anyone do anything to you!
Crying for Sae thinks that Makoto was worried about her safety, as she pats her little sister on the head.
Sae: *chuckle* What an odd girl...
Getting out her cell phone next to get back to work.
Makoto: Do you need to make a call? I'll head up to my room then.
For Sae makes a phone call to tell them about the calling card, but they tell her to standby instead and to get someone else now until further notice for her to wait.
Sae: ...I'm sorry for calling so late. This is Niijima. There's something I need to inform you of...I received a calling card from the Phantom Thieves. It was addressed to me directly and-Stand by?! And you've transferred command of the investigation to someone else...?! No of course not...Yes...I understand. I'll remain on standby until further instructions...Please excuse me.
Sae has no other choice but to do so...The SIU Director knows already to be part of the plan Once Makoto leaves to group text message the others that the deed has been done to wait until tomorrow to get back to Sae Shadow's Casino Palace.
[Makoto: Sorry for the wait. I believe it went well.]
[Junko: You did it, Makoto-Senpai...Oh. Are you well? I sure hope so.]
[Makoto: I will be thank you, Junko.]
[Haru: Thanks, Mako-Chan. It's all going according to plan then.]
[Akechi: So, it has finally come to this. I actually feel somewhat nervous.]
[Ryuji: Don't freak out so much that you screw up, all right?]
[Ann: You're one to talk.]
[Junko: I've alerted Aika-senpai and Hitomi-senpai to stop the Shadows in the area to back you guys up while we do the rest, even the other boys are on standby. So we should good to go.]
[Akechi: I ask that you go easy one me. Well then, see you tomorrow.]
[Futaba: Hold on a sec! Crow, go over the operation again before you leave.]
[Junko: It's easy to get use to it like I did.]
[Akechi: It is just as we discussed earlier, is it not?]
[Yusuke: This battle will decide our future. We must ensure we're fully prepared beforehand.]
[Keiko: Please, Akechi-Cun.]
[Akechi: Very well, Princess. Our objective is stealing Sae-san's Treasure. We will meet at the courthouse at approximately 6 PM.]
[Futaba: Good! Wanna give us one last word before we go, leader?]
[Keiko: Ah...Other than everyone to be careful out there...Let's go all out.]
[Makoto: We'll be relying on you.]
[Akechi: What a wonderful, trusting relationship. I will do my best in this as well.]
Then they were all set to go.
Morgana: All right...We can't afford any mistakes, especially not this time. Tomorrow's a big day for us, so let's give it our all!
On it, Morgana. As Keiko takes care of her plant and make some more tools with Morgana's help, Akechi comes up from behind Keiko to hug and kiss her.
Akechi: Hi, Princess, what's on your cute little mind?
Keiko: Akechi-Cun...It's nothing...I know what we need to do tomorrow, but...part of me is a little scared.
A lot to be going on from the looks of it.
Morgana: A lot of things can happened to be scared of, that much is true.
Akechi: Aw...Please don't say that, Keiko, there's nothing to be scared of. Remember...you have your friends, me, and others who are supporting us as the Phantom Thieves. It all comes down this. I know that you know too for all of this to soon come to an end, we can do this. The killer will show up for me to stop them. Then later as promised, we'll continue on as the Phantom Thieves and Metropolis 12 on our side. People will see we were set up. I'm here for you, Keiko, I love you. Remember...I'll always be there by your side.
For them to start cuddling together, Keiko and Akechi began to kiss for Morgana to leave the room to let them have some alone time.
Keiko: Akechi-Cun...Yes, I'm not alone...I have you, fans, and my friends. I love you too. Please...take me away. (Never let these feelings of love go away in my life.)
Another night to be making love for them to be even more powerful in battle, for love is both beautiful and strong. For Keiko to stay strong to do everything as planned out, they can do this for Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Junko, and Jackie were all set to go to change one lawyer's heart first before they could do anything else later on. As for Kiwa to be working alone at night while the others were out to prepare for anything else back in the real world besides Aika and Hitomi to be ready to go; Kasumi leaves to know the whole story and be careful on her end.
Kiwa: You going to be okay?
Kasumi: I was going to ask you the same thing, Kiwa...Alright, leave it to me. Be careful on your end.
Kiwa: I will, Kasumi. I love you.
Kasumi: I know, me too.
They hug, kiss, and Kasumi goes home for Kiwa gets some sleep. Leaving Sith to report back to his Persona-User master to tell him the cover is about blown to do something against Metropolis 12 members right away tomorrow.
Sith: Master? Yes, I made it in. Only one's staying behind. Right...Make your move when the time comes. I know you will.
Whatever's going on between the real world and Sae's Palace, this wasn't going to be good at all. Yeah...
Year 20xx
Day # 223 - November 11/19th – Saturday
With Kiwa waking up to get clean up and eat to getting to work, he wasn't alone besides Sith, someone else too. Be careful. And now, morning appears for the sun to rise up and for Keiko and Akechi to get dress, ready, and getting the others to come over at the hideout to be all set to go. Like Jackie who was ready to soon help out its human master for Megami will soon be free with three more False Gods to stop, two other gems to get, the real master mind, and the two main Shadows 'besides the spy too'.
Akechi: Amazing the way we touch, kiss, hug, and so much to feel like heaven. Princess, let our love guide us to victory and justice.
With the two holding each other with the blankets covering their naked bodies, they'll make it all happen for today's the day.
Keiko: It does for it is our fighting strength. Let's get dress and get everyone to come over. Come on, Akechi-Cun. We should go eat after we shower first.
Akechi: Another moment for us to do it again...?
With him touching Keiko to make her laugh, for Akechi and and her both know of the mission at hand.
Keiko: Stop...! You dirty boy. Maybe we can do a little something while we both get cleaned up.
Akechi: I can do that.
Keiko: (Oh, Akechi-Cun...My life, love, my strength...and my everything.)
With that taken care of and for them eat...Keiko, Akechi, and Morgana were all ready. As the others showed up and gather to be ready to go as well – Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Junko to move out back into the Metaverse.
Haru: The day has come. Are you all prepared?
Junko: Ready as I'll ever will be...Or try to be without being too clumsy.
All set, and ready to move out.
Akechi: What of the calling card, Makoto?
Makoto: I showed it to Sis...She took it from my very own hands.
Still, it was hard but a very brave move that Makoto did on order to save her sister.
Futaba: Makoto...
For Yusuke to place his hand on Makoto's to try cheering her up.
Yusuke: I understand how you feel, Ms. Makoto, but you mustn't be so downtrodden.
Ryuji: Yeah...If we screw this up, we're done for. It's way more than losin' the place we belong...We could even lose our lives here, y'know.
Makoto: I know. It'll be all right. I want to save my sister, no matter what.
Now that's the Makoto Niijima/Queen we all know and love.
Morgana: Is everyone decided?
Keiko: We're ready.
Ann: Mm-hm! All's well that ends well!
Morgana: So much has happened since we first started...You guys have become quite the reliable team. All right, Madame Keiko! This is the Phantom Thieves' greatest heist to reach to the final one later in the early winter this year! Give us the signal!
For Keiko makes the call to move on out.
Keiko: (This is it, there's no turning back now...) Let's do this. It's show time!
Junko: Now we're talking!
Akechi: I'll follow you until the very end, Keiko. I'll protect you. We all will.
Opening up to the Metaverse, here they go!
Keiko: Now then, team, let's move out. Suit up! Code name – Joker!
Morgana: Suit up! Code name – Mona!
Ryuji: Suit up! Code name – Skull!
Ann: Suit up! Code name – Panther!
Yusuke: Suit up! Code name – Fox!
Makoto: Suit up! Code name – Queen!
Futaba: Suit up! Code name – Oracle!
Haru: Suit up! Code name – Noir!
Akechi: Suit up! Code name – Crow!
Junko: Suit up! Code name – Witch!
They've arrived for Jackie to guide them back from the Battle Arena, to the hallways of the stairs, and into the manager's room on where the Treasure is...For them to arrive to see no sign of the Treasure to be anywhere in the room.
Ryuji: Where the hell's the Treasure?!
For Jackie tries to look around for it to find nothing on where it was last spotted in. Soon they all hear Sae Shadow's voice to be waiting for them, a trap for her to play a game and battle on for the Treasure of her heart and the sixth Gem.
Sae Shadow: *chuckle* It seems you came, just as I planned.
Another trap it was...
Morgana: As she planned...?!
Yusuke: No...Was the Treasure put on display to lure us here?
Junko: Again with these traps!
If this was a trap, then where was the real Treasure at?
Haru: So that's why we could faintly see its shape...
Sae Shadow: First off, allow me to compliment you. I never excepted you would be able to make it this far...
Akechi: We would much rather have the Treasure than your words of praise. Where did you hide it?
Ask and you shall reseed 'with luck' for Sae Shadow opens up the safe type of door and allows for all of the Phantom Thieves to come into her special room to battle all out.
Sae Shadow: *chuckle* Come. We shall put an end to this once and for all.
Keiko: So she wants us to fight her now.
Akechi: It seems as though she wants us to pursue her...
Ryuji: Dammit, she's mockin' us...! Let's go after her!
So up they go into the next room to do so for the Phantom Thieves and Jackie to be ready for anything to go up against Sae Shadow. On to the elevator to be ready to battle and steal Sae Shadow's Treasure to change her heart.
Makoto: Sis...I'll save you, we all will.
As Fallen One and Queen Lilith watched from above of the entire Palace and Aika and Hitomi sneak inside of it too...The Phantom Thieves have arrived up to the top of the main floor to Sae Shadow's gaming room type of casino board type of game to place all of their bets, this won't be an easy thing or fight they must do. With the elevator going back down and seeing Sae Shadow on the big screen TV, let see what other game they have going on.
Junko: There she is!
Still not showing herself in person, huh? Jackie gets mad to demand for their enemy to show herself and fight in person.
Akechi: Niijima-san, what kind of game will it be this time? No matter what you bring out, we will emerge victorious.
Like she cares but winning in her game only.
Sae Shadow: You're making a grave mistake if you think you have me cornered. I only guided you here because this place allows me to fight to my heart's content.
Makoto: Sis...
An older sister to go up against her younger one and her friends. Hard to see, say, and do right now but to push forward.
Sae Shadow: When my father died in the line of duty, I hated his killer from the bottom of my heart. Dying to uphold justice sounds virtuous, but the ones left behind have to clean up the mess! Can you imagine the hardships I had to endure?!
It was sad yes, but holding on to the past doesn't do anyone good at all!
Keiko: And what good will that do for you?! It only hurts much worse...! I know how it feels for my family, but I would never hate them for the rest of my life!
Like I said before, it can hurt sometimes.
Akechi: Perhaps I had overestimated her. I thought her reasoning would have been more noble somehow.
Futaba: Shes lost control...
Haru: This is wrong...
No kidding, for Jackie agrees with the others to not see a hard working to lose herself like this.
Sae Shadow: Justice cannot yield to evil! I must win, no matter what!
Akechi: This is nothing more than self-righteousness...
From sad words for Sae Shadow was ready for battle to prove them wrong to win at anything, probably to be cheating again.
Sae Shadow: All we need to do to determine who is right...is battle. Now, why don't we begin?
From the snap of her fingers, to move the battle grounds to appear for the others to feel it all over the entire room.
Morgana: What...?!
Haru: Eek!
Yusuke: What is this?!
From the wheel numbers to switch up to something else, for they were standing on the spinning wheel for people to play their betting to try to win. And finally...Sae Shadow appears in person to fight for the gem and Treasure as promised.
Sae Shadow: A clash of brute strength is simply uncalled for on this stage.
Akechi: What is she intending...?
Nothing but trouble, that's for sure. As Jackie places all the coins to drop for this Persona asks Sae Shadow to battle it all out.
Keiko: Another way to cheat by winning.
Ryuji: No more coins or playin' games! We ain't followin' your damn rules!
Sae Shadow: Oh, you will. There is no room for negotiation. You will know soon enough.
Seeing something like a hologram to appear all over Sae Shadow's body and reappearing again, there was something growing for Sae Shadow to show her true form soon enough.
Makoto: What was that...?!
Sae Shadow: Now...come at me!
With Makoto feeling scared, for Akechi, Keiko, and her friend have got her back.
Keiko: Queen, we'll be okay.
Akechi: She's right, we'll save her, right?
Feeling worried, but Makoto won't let anything hurt Sae to change her heart even if they have to go all out in battle.
Makoto: Yes...
Morgana: All right everyone, be on alert!
Tayla: Here's all eleven Phantom Thieves and Jackie vs. Sae Niijima/Leviathan 'you'll see soon enough'. Here we go!
Sae Shadow: Place your bets, because it's show time!
Futaba: All right, let's do this!
As Keiko to use some of her Personas powers to go in a combat type of battle again Sae Shadow, the others use their guns and other weapons to cut down this bad female of a Shadow for her to be good fighting back very well. Only for Futaba to boost up their offense and defense to power up, as well as Jackie to try giving Sae Shadow the big chill type of attack. Going pretty good so far, until Sae Shadow starts up her wheel that says 'Bet HP' up for her.
Sae Shadow: And now to place my bet against all of you.
It was really working...
Futaba W-What the-?!
Junko: She's betting at a time like this?!
There's another servant type of rules, is there?
Sae Shadow: Of course, act of violence are forbidden here. One must follow the rules.
Futaba: We already told you, there's no way we're gonna follow your rules anymore!
Sae Shadow: That's fine by me. Such troublesome people will face the penalty...
A penalty for not spinning the route, huh? So weird...
Futaba: What should we do, Joker?
Only one thing they can do just in case there was a powerful attack to come in their way...
Keiko: Just one...Guard yourselves! I rather wait until the wheel stops spinning; so making a move during the time will be a big mistake.
Better to be safe than sorry, I guess. They do for the wheel was almost done spinning.
Sae Shadow: You will predict which pocket the ball will fall into. Now, the time has come for your first round. Choose where you will place your bet!
Like they had no other choice.
Morgana: I'm almost positive she's going to try to cheat, but even if we bring that up, she'd just ignore now. Jackie, we might need your help on this one. Please...We should still go along with the game for now and try to gain evidence on her methods on cheating for Jackie to help us out with.
So they also need to do a betting of their own while they battle it all out.
Akechi: ...I agree.
For Futaba will make the call, Jackie will see from any signs of Sae Shadow to be cheating, and still fight on. Sounds like a good plan there...Doing the lowest numbers to the black pocket first, for it to land on one, but it hops on to the red of the highest number instead for Jackie to quickly catch on to it. Meaning that they lose in the first round. Hurting them a little for Sae Shadow to take some of their energy to heal up.
Morgana: We lost...Have you figured anything out, Joker? I think Jackie might've too.
Keiko: (Now I see...) I know what Sae's doing.
Morgana: Really?! How is she doing it?!
Jackie tries to tell them it was somewhere underneath the wheel to have a spring to lift the ball to bounce off one space to go to the other one instead.
Keiko: What Jackie can tell us...The lid under where the ball lands on.
They got it right, Sae Shadow once again was cheating
Morgana: I see...you two are right! It did seem like the ball floated for a split second there...
Akechi: How humiliating...
So there was soon an idea to be done for them.
Futaba: Let's catch her in the act so she can't talk her way out of it! Jackie, you can still mess around with this one, keep going. Have someone snipe the pocket when that glass lid appears. Joker, you're in charge of choosing who gonna be the sniper!
Haru: We cannot allow this cheating to continue...
Keiko: Then I choose...Queen, she's your sister to know her a lot more than the rest of us do, good luck. (Plus her aiming skills from a her machine gun is amazing to never miss her targets.)
Off Makoto goes off the wheel to get a clear shot at Sae Shadow during the fight to not cheat anymore.
Makoto: I'm on it!
For Makato gets ready and Jackie watches very closely...Another wheel was about to be set for Sae Shadow to bet money this time to take away from the Phantom Thieves if she wins again by cheating.
Futaba: The stuff display on the monitor changed...That must mean the betting changes every time...
As the wheel spins again, for Futaba to boost up everyone's accuracy/evasion to be all set for battle to keep Sae Shadow distracted as long as they can.
Keiko: Queen, whenever you're ready!
Makoto got her gun ready for some shooting to be done.
Futaba: The sniper is in their designated spot. All that's left is to wait for the next roulette spin.
Sae Shadow: Very well, time to make your bet! Well, how will you bet? Hopefully your prediction will be correct this time. *chuckle*
Another type to place the bets for Futaba to give it her all...Laughing about it to cheat another round, for it to stop and lid up to move allowing Makoto to shoot the glass for the ball to fall into the hole all the way and Jackie to freeze it up there for a few seconds. They've won in the second round!
Yusuke: Well done!
What a baby to feel weak from cheating, that's what Sae Shadow gets for losing for Jackie was happy to be doing well so far.
Sae Shadow: WH-WHAT!?
Futaba: Heheh...Joker!
Everyone gathered into a group to surround Sae Shadow with their weapons.
Keiko: Don't move!
Akechi: We caught you cheating this time.
Futaba: What was that about fair and square?! You were totally cheating!
Damn straight she was, for cheating in games like this is so not cool.
Sae Shadow: Ngh...
Futaba: You coward! What're you so quiet for?! Say something!
Sae Shadow: Shut up...SHUT UP!
She soon transforms into a deadly False God of the fifth one to have the sixth gem to be very powerful of a tall type of female knight armor type of thing. For all bets are off now to be fighting all out now!
Tayla: Persona # 126 – Leviathan
Leviathan is a sea monster referred to in the Tanakh and the Bible. In demonology, Leviathan is one of the seven princes of Hell and its gatekeeper. The word "leviathan" has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In modern literature (such as the novel Moby Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale." According to Judaic lore, the Behemoth and Leviathan will do battle at the world's end, and kill each other, leaving their bodies to be feasted upon by the chosen peoples who survive.
Junko: Whoa! Way overboard of a transformation here!
Makoto: S-Sis?!
Man, this girl hates to lose to feel like a little child who never learns anything.
Leviathan: Cheating?! Unfair?! Silence! This is MY world! If you want a fair fight, then to hell with the game! I'll crush you by force. Fair and square, just as you like!
Man, she means business now!
Makoto: This...is my sister's true nature?! No...
Yusuke: Queen, it'll be fine. We'll save her. I'm here for you.
Futaba: We're finally back to a normal fight...Good luck, Joker! Necronomicon, let's back the other Phantom Thieves' up! Cyber Net Strike!
Here comes the real fight for Futaba has got them covered and attacking a little...As Jackie tries to throw some ice shards for Leviathan to hack and slash to shooting lots of them to be destroyed, with heavy weapons to be powerful to use. But it keeps Leviathan busy for everyone else to hit her hard with an group all out attack.
Junko: Let's do this while she's busy by Jackie's attacks. Give her hell, Mochizuki! Steel of One-Thousand Kunais!
A Persona and thief type of double attack here, it was working well for knives to be thrown as Leviathan moves in fast to avoid the heavy damages. More of a sword battle with Morgana and Zorro to not hold anything back.
Morgana: Zorro, it's time to make our move next...Furious Fangs!
That was powerful to send her heavy armor she was wearing to go flying high and dropping down, only to land on her feet without feeling any pain. They can do this! No matter what she says, the Phantom Thieves fight with good reasons why. But the panels on the wheel changes to the different elements to light up.
Leviathan: All bets are off!
Again with this...?
Makoto: Hey, this is new!
Everyone be on your guard from the wheel and fighting.
Leviathan: Only victory matters! To guarantee it, you have to be willing to do anything! Doesn't might make right? No matter what happens here, I need to keep winning!
Losing it for this Shadow.
Makoto: Sis, why?!
Landing on a light power, for the Shadow powers up from offense and defense.
Junko: This looks bad...!
Makoto: Wh-What in the world?!
Leviathan: I'm right...I'm always right...That's why I have to be the victor! All who stand in my way will be crushed! Winning is all that matters.
Here comes a power up Brutal Impact of hers. Strong as it was, Keiko's other Persona which it can heal everyone back up to keep on fighting. So that's what the wheel does.
Keiko: We won't lose like this!
Keep on fighting, so far so good.
Leviathan: As long as you win, it doesn't matter what methods you use! Don't you all think the same?! You're controlling the hearts of others to achieve your own goal!
Makoto: It's not for us! We only do it to help others who are suffering!
Now betting to SP next to be ready to stop Leviathan from cheating again, for Makoto and Jackie were ready...
Morgana: You're being a sore loser!
Leviathan: I never lose, even in games of pure luck! Let me prove it!
Without cheating here this time...? Yeah, right! I doubt it for they have to be careful on what Leviathan pulls up to something bad.
Morgana: So she's not going to cheat anymore...? This may be a good opportunity for us, Joker. If we win the roulette, we'll get an advantage in battle.
It was worth a try...Placing the bets for Jackie to watch it carefully again, for them to win the third round to drain of Leviathan's powers to heal the others quickly, to then attacking her again with the same moves.
Ryuji: Let's do this, Seiten Taisei! Lighting Flash Attack!
Ann: Here goes nothing then, Hecate, just you and me. Flame Shooter!
Haru: Time to dance, Milady...Lily Whip!
Nicely done for them to hit it where it hurts, for Leviathan was shooting all over the place, for Keiko to try to back them up with something against her heavy gun type of weaponize.
Keiko: Arsene, aid me...Double Daggers of Darkness!
This causes Leviathan's gun to get stuck and then blow up badly to have it removed from the two smaller guns in her hands now.
Leviathan: I will win! Justice can only be on the side of the victor!
What a baby she is, huh? Time to attack a bit more against Leviathan with everything they got on her.
Makoto: Sorry, Sis...Anat, let's ride. Viper Sting!
From the fast speed of Makoto driving to use some type of venom and Yusuke trying to wipe Leviathan out with his water attacks.
Yusuke: Kamu Susano-o, help the woman I truly care for from the bottom of my heart! Frozen Waves!
A direct hit there to cut her own sword in two as it was destroyed now. From Yusuke's love for Makoto was growing more and more. Trying to roll the ball to spin on the roulette wheel again, this time Jackie crushes it thanks to Yusuke to place water a lot for the machine to not work anymore.
Leviathan: What?! No! What have you done?!
Akechi: Jackie caught you cheating three times now, so that means you're out. Let show her, Robin Hood! Double Edge Sword Takedown!
Nice new attack there, Akechi/Crow. They're winning so far.
Makoto: She's done for!
This gets to Leviathan to get trapped, cut, and thrown down hard for the bets were now over for her. Allowing for Keiko and Akechi to team up with their ultimate combo move to use against Leviathan for one final hit.
Keiko and Akechi: Light and Dark - Energy Blast!
Boom! That blows Leviathan away...literally. Getting hurt there, to not admit her defeat just yet.
Leviathan: I...I just need to win...As long as I can win...that's all that matters...
Makoto: Sis...
From there to try getting back up, and getting hit from the Phantom Thieves' all out group attack...the armor cracks to break apart for Leviathan to be defeated and Sae Shadow was down for the count for good.
Sae Shadow: I...I...!
It was finally over, the Phantom Thieves not only won the bet and saved Sae's life, but this will also prove in their innocents now.
Keiko: Time to save you, Sae Niijima...Flaming Heart! (There, it's been done.)
From her mask, it heals Sae Shadow's heart to change for the better now to finally come to her senses and finally admit defeat in a fight too, also to never ever cheat again.
Tayla: Sae Niijima – Leviathan, defeated!
With the sixth gem to get for Morgana to hold to, one more to go and two more False Gods who need to be stopped later on.
Sae Shadow: So I've lost...But I'm healed now to learn a painful lesson to never cheat again. Boy, was I such a fool.
Makoto was very happy to have the real Sae back to normal again 'her Shadow self at least'.
Makoto: Sis!
Akechi: That's only a Shadow, Queen. Why are you so...
Ann: Quiet!
It was best to let it all out for Sae to feel something from Makoto's feelings to say the least.
Akechi: ...Sorry.
Keiko: It's fine, Crow. For Queen to do this right here and now, to make her feel a bit better. (I'm glad Makoto fought until the very end.)
Ryuji: Jackie, go grab the Treasure for us please.
The little Persona didn't mind getting it for them at all to find it in seconds...For Sae Shadow to know that Queen was her little sister Makoto deep down.
Sae Shadow: Makoto...?
Makoto: I don't think it's wrong to bright light to evils which can't be judged by law. That's all the Phantom Thieves have been trying to do too. But these aggressive investigations? Twisting the truth for your own personal gain...? Please...You have to think back to the feelings you had when you first wanted to be a prosecutor. Think about your justice, Sis.
Some nice words to have Sae Shadow and her real self a lesson.
Sae Shadow: My justice...
Makoto: Try to remember how you used to be...
Sae Shadow: How I...
Junko: It's hard to get through something to move on somehow, it can be hard.
From those words, and something else from Haru had something to say about Sae Shadow's actions next.
Haru: Niijima-san...She's just like my father...What caused them to change like this...?
Akechi: Hm...Even though their own desires were the cause, succumbing to such distorted thoughts is strange...Is there another reason they don't know of...?
Jackie has gotten hold of the Treasure of Sae's to steal and to shop the others.
Yusuke: Look! Jackie has got the Treasure.
Keiko: Thank you, Jackie.
This made this little Persona very happy to help out.
Akechi: The investigation will now be able to proceed. The suspicions against you all will be lifted as well. This deal we're making...is a great experience for us.
Keiko: Yes, Crow. As promised, we won't do anything other than Mementos for you to track down the real killer, rescue Junko's sister, get the last Brightful Gem, and stop two more False Gods later on.
The two hugged it out, also his confidant and bonding goes up to nine...I wanted to do it differently on this part only.
Akechi: Good to learn about what to do next, Joker, such a smart and beautiful woman with honor. To think that I, a detective, would act alongside the Phantom Thieves to become one of you...
It has been for them to take five until Junko and Akechi can find any leads next on their own.
Morgana: All right, we don't need to stay here any longer! Are you all right, Queen...?
He had to make sure how Makoto was holding up now.
Makoto: I am. Let's go.
Yeah, and Sae Shadow goes back to the real one...All was good to change her heart 'seeing it was hers and Makoto's father of a note pad was the Treasure' for everything to work out very well 'without this Palace to disappear this time for Sae only'. Just then...Jackie had a bad feeling all over its entire body, and Futaba also detects something from her scanners.
Futaba: Huh?!
Keiko: Oracle? What's wrong...? (Ah! I sense something really bad going on from within this Palace...)
Futaba: Enemy readings! When they did...?! They're gathering outside!
Ryuji: For real?! The hell's goin' on?!
Whatever was happening, it was really bad news that was about to go down next.
Junko: I don't like this...!
Yusuke: Look at those numbers...!
A lot to be shown in the hologram of the computer screen to be very bad on what Futaba was getting the readings of.
Ann: This doesn't look good...
Morgana: We defeated the Palace ruler and even stole the Treasure, yet the Shadows are still restless...it doesn't make any sense...What's going on here?
A lot more trouble to be coming at the Palace for this one won't be disappearing right now.
Futaba: There are more coming?! This'll be dangerous if we don't do something...! Huh...?
Not only there were more Shadows, but also other people as well to be more trouble.
Morgana: Huh...? We need to go now! Jackie, get going for us to contact you later. Thanks for your help again! Jester and Templar better escape too. Those guys in black suits are almost here. We'll be done for if we get surrounded!
Good idea, Jackie escapes from this Palace first safely.
Makoto: A team this large would be discovered immediately. We had best split up for our escape...Although, we need someone to act as a decoy...No, that's too dangerous.
Keiko: Everyone, go. I'll be the decoy and catch up to you guys later on.
It appears that Keiko will do it since she was the leader to save her lover and her teammates.
Junko: No, Joker! Don't do it!
Makoto: Joker?! Are you planning on distracting them by yourself?!
Keiko: And stay here until we're all goners?! I have to.
Seeing on how much she cares for everyone else's safety than her own, it was the only way.
Ryuji: Let her do it, Queen. She's shy and hot lookin', but once her mind's made up, she's not gonna take no for an answer...I'm sure you ain't gonna die. It's you we're talkin' about here.
And with that, Ryuji hands Keiko the Treasure 'for it was a notebook of her and Makoto's father on the writing from his police work he's been doing when he was alive on what I just said about it'.
Keiko: I will do my best. Thanks, everyone.
Haru: Please don't do anything reckless, OK?
Ann: I'll never forgive you if you don't make it back.
Junko: Best of luck to you for us to hang out more once this is all over with.
Morgana: We still haven't fulfilled our deal, remember?
Better hurry, more were on their way...!
Futaba: Even more are coming!
Yusuke: This truly is a painfully reluctant parting...!
Akechi: It seems we had best hurry. Joker, please be careful...I love you.
The two quickly hugged and kissed each other before leaving.
Keiko: I know, Crow, same here.
All of this for the others hope that Keiko will get out of this mess alive once she loses the guards and Shadows.
Makoto: ….We'll see you later.
They leave separately to safety...For Keiko draws the guards and Shadows to her direction to follow her only to have the Treasure in her hands. Meanwhile back in the real world, Kiwa walks down the hallways to see his cousin Tsuba returning alone and in the shadows.
Tsuba: Kiwa, how are things?
Kiwa: Oh, Cousin. Yeah, Templar and Jester are just about to aid the Phantom Thieves in Niijima-san's Palace. I didn't think you would come back here so soon. You find anything?
Tsuba: Not much but the photo from the Midnight Strike event to still solve. It's hard, I thought you might found something.
Kiwa: Nothing yet, no...But the camera did show of a man in a blur with Sith to be with someone a bit familiar.
Looking at it again back in the room, it was hard to tell what was what.
Tsuba: Well, we'll get somewhere. So don't you worry.
Kiwa: You know...I've learned a lot about something from that event. We loss both our parents to feel little sad than I was, knew of Officer Daisuke's family too much, and figure out of both Aika and Hitomi are half related before we all did. As if you knew to staging the whole thing...
A bit of a wild guess or what?
Tsuba: Huh...? What are you getting at...? Ha! I get it. Guessing and a joke. Kiwa, you almost had me there. I thought you were going to say that someone set me up. Come on...
Patting Kiwa on the back to be laughing together.
Kiwa: Ah, yeah. Maybe you're right, Cousin. Sorry, maybe I'm just tired.
Tsuba: It happens. Look, let's take a quick break before we do more work. The Phantom Thieves have to make something happen, right? Come on, let's have some tea. I learned of you guys being victims of random Shadows, but this job of ours still takes the cake.
Kiwa: Tell me about it. Me being one of them to confessing my love for Kasumi was even bigger. You sure got that right for us to get caught up...
He soon stop, soon to realize from the photo of the camera to look familiar on someone Kiwa knows of and remembering what he said. Not to mention it did look a lot like the same person Sith was talking to. Which means.
Tsuba: Hm? What's up?
Horrified, they know who the traitor and Persona-User was that Sith works for and Cthulhu himself in human disguise to not be in his powerful form. Really? But still, Kiwa couldn't believe that his cousin was another villain.
Kiwa: Wait a second...That day you made something look like you were attacked by a Shadow with me, the night you were attack to hurt yourself and almost had Officer Daisuke killed; and that awful night...Sith...You're not my cousin! And the name of searching to have mine up, Shibusawa's is his real name to look for me, you're a fake!
Oh! Did you guys hear that? It's all true for Ren Tsuba wasn't the person he seem to be.
Fake Tsuba: Oh, is that so...? Well, besides figuring out the rest and looking at a simple photo behind my back, not bad, Cousin Kiwa. Or rather...I would've spare your life if you didn't butt in.
Kiwa: So you've admit it!
Showing half of his powers, Kiwa was alone with a faker who means business now.
Fake Tsuba: I do...Now come here and let me give my little cousin a hug...
Not good...!
Kiwa: Crap!
Making a run for it to send out some help to getting back, will the others get the message while Kiwa outruns the traitor? Be careful! Same with Jackie alerting Jose about this mess too back in Mementos.
Jose: Mommy...Please be careful.
OK, back to the Metaverse of Sae's Palace again! Now we've reached to this story now up to this point, right...? For the alarm to go off for others to worry while playing their casino games to have a bad feeling about it all. From others to gather up as one woman was lost to hear Keiko/Joker to pass by them.
Woman: Huh?
Now they know that trouble was inside the place.
Man: There's something here!
For Keiko was good sneaking around the entire Palace for others to soon hear and sees the Phantom Thieves to fear the worse, for the others want her not to kill them. Really?
Younger Man: Hey...Up there!
Soon the men in black try to stop Keiko by any means.
Man in Black: She's here. Move in immediately!
Now it was time to begin the chase for Keiko/Joker makes a run for it for the men to follow. Be careful now!
Morgana: Good. Now get running!
Akechi: This is our only chance!
Junko: Hurry before they catch you!
It was time to make Keiko's escape from the Palace with the Treasure.
Futaba: Stay calm! You can get away now!
Makoto: We'll retrieve the briefcase on our end.
Hearing the radio signs for Keiko tries to jump from ceiling side and another as fast as Keiko could run and jump.
Mysterious Transmission: ...suspects...not...confirmed...hold...your...positions...
Getting more of a reading for Futaba to tell Keiko about it through her mask.
Futaba: Hm...? What was that...?
Junko: What? Is it bad?
Sounds like it. Keiko, start running and jumping your way out of here!
Morgana: Don't worry about us. Just concentrate on getting away! But I have to say, showing yourself above that crowd earlier was an excellent move. Nice work as always, Joker.
Keiko: Thanks, Mona.
Doing well so far, to see other guys to catch up to Keiko to follow.
Guard: There she is!
The exit was right behind Keiko to go there right away.
Futaba: Just run! Get out of there!
She kept on going without stopping at all.
Morgana: OK, the enemy's focus is on him. Looks like the rest of us can slip away.
From the officers looking around the entire casino to find Keiko as Joker to go after her to give them the chase throughout the Palace in the Metaverse still, while fighting a Shadow who gets in her way, all the way from the beginning here 'with the first Shadow to tell about now'.
Guard 2: Stop right there!
Guard 3: You won't get away!
Here comes another Shadow...
Tayla: Persona # 127 – Moloch
Moloch refers to either a god or a particular kind of sacrifice associated with fire. He appears, and is mentioned, in the Old Testament as a god that Moses forbade the Israelites to worship.
Ann: Take 'em down, Joker!
Keiko: Right.
Futaba: This Shadow is very weak, Joker. So take it down for good.
A easy battle for her to win that one, after unmasking the three guys to be one big Shadow. With Jackie goes to Mementos to hide out here for a while until everything was in a clear and told Jose about everything so far since he could understand this Persona; along with Akechi, Junko, Ann, Ryuji, Morgana, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru getting out of there alive to not be followed...During the chase and battle, Keiko sees Arsene appearing right in front of her to say something.
Arsene: Beautiful Keiko, it's always good to see you doing well to win in your battles up to this point, correct? You have progressed well through your recollection. Last spring, you've awakened to this furious power. Now, keep on using that...and defeat the enemies before you! Your fate will soon be determined...Recall everything...Remember the bonds and lover you have forged with your friends and the one call Goro Akechi. If you are fated to continue past this point, then we shall surely meet again...
Keiko: (Arsene, what are you trying to tell me...? Oh, right. I better keep going.)
Keep on going then.
Futaba: OK, pull out before their backup gets here.
Yeah, that's a piece of cake for Keiko and Arsene to stop that Shadow and the rest to keep on running, sneaking around, and having a lot of the guys keep on chasing after this girl.
Morgana: Good. You defeated them with ease!
But more of the men in black were approaching from every building from one side to another.
Futaba: More of them?! Be careful!
Jumping away from the rest from dodging and jumping up top to getting out of there.
Keiko: Miss me.
Futaba: Joker, behind you! Go through that door!
Getting into the back room of the Palace next for Keiko tries to find her exit next.
Junko: She made it. All right!
Futaba: You should be able to get out that way! Hurry!
She start looking for a way out.
Ryuji: Dude, can she even hear us?!
Futaba: Don't worry, I'm picking up everyone's voices. Just go, Joker!
Going down stairs next to keep on sneaking and running away. Yeah, you already know this part,right?
Ryuji: Tch! We got away from a bunch of those guys in black, but there're still loads more of 'em...
Making through the next room, one of the agents back outside of it pass by to lose sight of Keiko/Joker to keep on hiding.
Agent 1: Where'd they go?! Damn it! I can't confirm the intruder's location.
Moving away for Keiko to continue and to hide from another agent thanks to Futaba's help.
Futaba: Whoa! Hold up, Joker! Stop!
She sees another one from in front of Keiko.
Keiko: Another one? Give me a break...
Futaba: This is bad! Hide, Joker!
She does it for the other agent doesn't see Keiko at all, close call there.
Keiko: He didn't see me.
Futaba: You'll never get away if you just keep fighting. Hide in the shadows, and sneak past when you see an opening!
Doing so to be fast about it for the man to call back up and then leaving.
Agent 2: ...Hey, are you sure she came in this way? Understood. I will continue the search!
Running pass Keiko, it was time to keep on going.
Futaba: Now's your chance, Joker, get going!
Getting through one of them was fine, but the rest were more to get in Keiko/Joker's way to hide again.
Junko: Man, there's just no end to these guys.
Akechi: Everything okay? The security level might ride if you take too much time.
Futaba: I know, I know! I'm looking for another route. Just hang on. Oh, perfect time. Joker, look up!
Something from above her can get Joker out of this mess.
Keiko: I see it.
Futaba: Can you use that thing and just fly over there?
A hook shot for Joker to use and get her to the top.
Keiko: Made it.
Futaba: All right, go straight from there!
Junko: Now keep going!
As Keiko does to make it into another room, Futaba saves the leader from something was there besides her.
Futaba: Joker-stop! It's an enemy-right near you!
Keiko: Crap!
Seeing more Shadows appearing to surround Keiko from going anywhere else.
Futaba: Even you can't take on this many-Huh?! Joker! That weird reading from earlier was already closing in on you too!
Keiko: Where?
Seeing from afar for some Shadows to come in from up top...only to be stopped by two other female thieves like Joker was to be called – Aika/Templar and Hitomi/Jester to stop them on their end.
Hitomi: There's no need to thank us.
Aika: Just doing our job
And another one as well comes to aid Keiko in person next, a woman in black with long red hair appears to back her friend up. But was this one...? Wait! It was Kasumi Yoshizawa to the rescue!
Kasumi: I'll end this right now.
Getting out Kasumi's sword, for Keiko or the others 'even the other two' don't know anything about this woman.
Futaba: Joker, it's her! She's the weird reading I've been getting!
But she seems to be on their side, as Kasumi throws her long sword at one of the Shadows dead...somehow Keiko trusts her since they've become best friends. Nice hit! From her movements to dance, cutting, and shooting the rest of the Shadows to aid the leader.
Kasumi: My weak self relied on you so much...That ends today. Let's do this, Teacher!
Getting Kasumi sword back for her and Keiko stop the other three remaining Shadows 'two jaguars and a vulture time to tell about also later on' to have their powers and weapons to fighting skills too to be very useful, and fun to watch.
Futaba: The enemy readings have decreased?
Morgana: That's...
Seems like Morgana already knows who it was, and the others to learn more about Kasumi in action. Somehow, I don't think they'll be having any trouble in this battle.
Kasumi: It's been a while since we last fought side-by-side. But this time, it's my turn to come to your aid, Teacher. Now let's win this!
From dodging other attacks, shooting, using a powerful type of fairy type of power to fire off sharp things to fall, and finally a group attack to all be killed.
Keiko: A direct hit!
Kasumi: Step the landing.
All clear for now as the other thieves Aika and and Hitomi take off first.
Aika and Hitomi: We'll distract the guards while you escape, Joker!
And as for the mysterious woman in black, what's next? From Aika and Hitomi, it was cool to have Kasumi to help out the team from time to time.
Kasumi: I think...that's the last of them?
Close, but more Shadows were heading their way again.
Futaba: I genuinely have no clue what just happened, but I take it you're okay? Wait-bad news! Enemy backups headed your way! You need to book it, right now!
Kasumi: Please go. I'm going to make it harder for them to track you down.
Keiko: You sure?
I think she can fight in her own battles.
Kasumi: ...You still have something you need to do as a Phantom Thief, right?
Keiko: Yes.
Turning around to take off, she'll allow Keiko/Joker to leave now.
Kasumi: Then I won't stop you. Since I'm not a member of the Phantom Thieves, I'm in no position to interfere. However...please don't forget the promise we made, okay?
From jumping up top to leaving, off Kasumi Yoshizawa takes off. And Keiko needed to do the same thing on her end as well.
Futaba: Joker, you need to get outta there! Go! Go! Go!
And off Joker goes upstairs now to finally out running all of the swat team for good. Then by sneaking around the other rooms some more to out smarting the other security people and passing by the security room itself...
Male: She's not alone! Find them and kill them all!
Trying to find a way out above the building to be up top. And soon making through the hallways to then seeing Keiko to jump out the window to go outside with the Treasure to do well for the others place their fate in their leader.
Futaba: Something wrong? The exit should be up ahead.
Joker sees another way out.
Keiko: Through there...?
Crashing through the window that is.
Futaba: Nnh...! That's just how it is. After that commotion, the bottom floor's-
Makoto: -completely closed off. Hey, can you make it!?
The guards sees Joker to make her escape.
Security # 2: Over there! There's nowhere to run!
So far, so good for Keiko/Joker; for her only escape was jumping through the glass window and make a run for it from outside of the building. For the cops see her to try to surround the thief, she blows a kiss and gets ready to jump.
Keiko: See ya, boys.
She got out with show and luck.
Futaba: What a showoff.
Junko: She really jumped...!
Morgana: You're so reckless, you know that?
However, she wasn't out of this mess yet...Keiko had company!
Futaba: Enemies, here!? These readings… It can't be! What happened?!
Make a run for it!
Makoto: An ambush!?
Morgana: Joker, can you handle this!?
Ryuji: Joker!
Haru: Oh no!
One makes the call to stop Joker right away.
Officer: Capture her!
But nope, there were more cops waited for Keiko to have her capture and arrested now for the suitcase to be brought back in police custody up to this point.
Security # 1: Didn't except to find some kid. A high school girl of that matter. You have your teammate to thank for this. You were sold out.
This was bad. Keiko/Joker has been arrested to make news.
Officer: Suspect confirmed! Cuff her!
No! The others could only watch as Keiko was trapped now. Not good for Keiko to be hearing all of this.
Keiko: No...! Why?
For the others return to the real world to see Keiko to be taken away, Akechi didn't like this more than the others did.
Junko: She's been caught...!
Akechi: No...Keiko...! KEIKO!
Poor Akechi to be seeing this to be unfair, huh? So moving forward to where we left off...
Investigator: Guess the drug was too strong...Wake her up.
One of the officers splashes her with a bucket of water, as Keiko wakes up to see where she was in. Damn...!
Keiko: Huh...? What? …
Investigator: No dozing off. You still don't get it, do you? Give it up.
Getting kick down while being all tied up and hand cuff was too much on poor Keiko.
Keiko: Nngh... *cough*
Investigator: Come on, cooperate. Or what, you want another show?
She looks at the camera to be recording all of this mess to be going on right now for the investigator to be seeing.
Keiko: …
Investigator: Huh? What about the camera? Are you thinking it can be used as video evidence?
It was hard to say for Keiko couldn't say anything at all.
Keiko: Ah...
He kicks her again.
Investigation: So you're not that dumb. Which is good, 'cause we get to take as much time as we NEED!
These guys were treating Keiko so badly.
Keiko: *cough* Nngh…! *wheeze*
He then reads on the crime Keiko and her friends have committed, or so he thought...
Investigator: Obstruction of justice, blackmail, defamation, possession of weapons...Manslaughter too, yeah? Talk about the works. To think that all these crimes were led by a punk girl like this...And you seemed to be enjoying every second of it...Huh?
Keiko: (I was…enjoying it…? Everything's hazy…I can't remember...)
He then undoes the cuffs off of Keiko to do something for them.
Investigator: You should know your place. Sign here. It's a confession under your name.
Keiko: …
Grabbing hold of Keiko's hand after she shoves it away...
Investigator: I see. I need your hand to sign this, but…I don't care if you end up losing your leg.
Keiko: Urgh...!
And in retaliation, the cop stomps on Keiko's leg.
Investigator: Don't expect to walk out of here in one piece. We're going to make you understand…One must take full responsibility for their actions…
Keiko gets drugged to get water all over to make her talk to stay quiet from the men treated her badly and force to sign her name before breaking her legs...she does it, she waits in the room. As Keiko tries to remember from a butterfly of a little girl's voice to be speaking to our hero; and such to get back to the main story at hand, and what of Fallen One and Queen Lilith?
Lilith: Come...It's time.
Fallen One: I'm ready whenever you are, your majesty.
Not good at all...And that's what happened 'I guess'...While back at Metropolis 12 place, Kiwa gets caught by Fake Tsuba 'to call him for now' to catch up to him, and starts to strangle to death, but...gun shots go off for Daisuke comes to the rescue.
Kiwa: Officer Daisuke!
Moving away, now he wasn't alone.
Daisuke: Get back, kid! I should've known you were that woman's ex-boyfriend...! Who the hell are you?!
Showing some powers for Tsuba means business.
Fake Tsuba: Im your worse nightmare.
I don't think gunshots won't work on this guy...However, Hitomi's knife stabbing to the back on the faker gets hurt.
Hitomi: Traitor!
Although it stuns the man to keep on moving, a hit to the hit with a mental pipe by Aika's doing really puts the bigger damage on him.
Aika: We won't lose anyone ever again!
Making it back to have only four members now, but Junko hasn't come back yet, why is that? Injuring Fake Tsuba to be in pain to be shaking all over of some type of brain damage on a Shadow who can make illusions and human disguise forms, it turns out he made false memories to foul with the other four; to finally come back to them all – Daisuke, Kiwa, Aika, and Hitomi. The real truth. But Sith rescues his injured master to make their escape.
Sith: Master! No! We won't go down like this...! This isn't over, humans! We're out! You got two other troublemakers to deal with!
Using smoke bomb goes off as Sith carries Fake Tsuba out to safety and out of the real world. But with luck the four of Metropolis 12 are all alive to know of the real truth once the illusion was gone, and a lot more of who the murderer really was. Huh...?
Daisuke: It can't be...!
Aika: No way!
Hitomi: We all been tricked?
Kiwa: I think we did...
What happens next, is left to them to cut back to the story line, and yes it happens during the beginning and such.
Year 20xx
Day # 224 - November 11/20th – Sunday
Soon enough, Sae comes in with a change of heart to find out what was going on, the SIU Director allowed her to question Keiko, in any way to getting her answers.
Police Detective: Excuse me, but this area's off-
Sae: I'm Niijima from the Public Prosecutors Office.
Police Officer: The Prosecutors Office? What business do you have here?
Sae: Just let me through; it's urgent. There's something I need to confirm with the suspect.
Police Officer: Nijima-san, I believe this case is no longer in your jurisdiction. Besides…
Another male officer join up to Sae to hand her his cell phone for a certain someone to call up. However, for some of the cops won't allow her in the other room to talk to the leader of the Phantom Thieves not even her boss of the SIU Director or the 'Director of District Public Prosecutors Office' refuses for Sae to speak to Keiko, but that won't stop her to do her job in any way, so they allow it to make their talk short. That's so unfair.
Older Detective: Are you Prosecutor Sae Niijima? There's a call from your director. Hurry and get it over with. To be frank, you're being an inconvenience.
Sae gets a phone call on her cell to pass to her now.
SIU Director: *sigh* I thought I ordered you to stand by.
Sae: I'm responsible for this case, yet I'm not even being allowed an interrogation!?
SIU Director: I'm calling because I knew you'd bring it up.
Sae: I will not be convinced unless I confirm it for myself. This is MY case.
SIU Director: *sigh* Good luck to you then. I won't be expecting much though.
He hangs up afterwards...
Older Detective: Ah, Prosecutor. I forgot to mention something important. Your time will be cut short. We can't permit you to talk with her for long.
Sae: …..
Older Detective: It's for your own sake. Her methods are unknown. After all, we don't even know if it's safe to simply meet and speak with her.
She agrees to the terms to do her job.
Sae: ...I understand.
From Sae questioning Keiko to finally getting the entire story, why the Phantom Thieves are doing all of this, and such with good reasons to go on all day today...You get it now? OK – I want to make things clear, no one in the police force don't torture people like that even to the real bad guys. That's so mess up! As Keiko was sleeping for a bit for time to stop from what she's been telling Sae about, she was in the Velvet Room of the cell door to see Igor, Caroline, and Justine.
Keiko: Huh? Wait...I remember...the Velvet Room. Igor. Caroline. Justine.
Bad timing to show up like this, huh?
Caroline: Well done on making it this far, Inmate.
Justine: Now that you have traversed your log, perilous recollection, you truly have entered the present...
Keiko: So it is real...
Seems like it and the drug has finally wore itself off 'or in a few minutes'.
Caroline: The effects of that drug are gonna wear off soon. This is your golden opportunity. You must grasp the truth that will save you from the brink of ruin.
Justine: The evil influence who wishes you dead is fast approaching.
Caroline: If you want to win this unreasonable game...
Justine: If you wish to take back your stolen future...
Then they say it to Keiko together...
Caroline and Justine: Recall your bonds you formed with your allies and the one you truly love...And grasp the truth that will save you from the brink of ruin.
For Keiko to remember the rest, as well as from Caroline and Justine's words, and Igor to be laughing, it was time for Sae to have her trust in Keiko's words for the truth and the real killer who was behind it all. The Phantom Thieves already know who it is?!
Igor: Good luck to you then, Ms. Trickster.
Keiko: Oh...Oh, right!
I think Keiko's starting to remember now...Getting back to hearing her story to tell Sae all about it, and now up to this point for Sae to finally understand it all. Who's the killer then? Who could the traitor be? Other than Ren Tsuba was made up to trick everyone who which Sith works for and escapes, what's going to happen next? More next time for some shocking surprises to hear about.
