Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode # 135 - Truth be Told
Well, that's one powerful Shadow to be taken down to be Loki of Akechi's anger self to become this powerful but the two to be saved and Robin Hood as Akechi's normal Shadow. Hurt but he'll be back in the group later, as Keiko took some damage in battle too as the Phantom Thieves weren't done yet. Shido's Treasure to change his heart is next to use the five card keys for it, to then try to send out the calling card somehow; stop him to pay for his crimes and almost had his own son killed, Junko to be stopped, two more false gods to be destroyed, one more gem to get, and clear the Phantom Thieves' names. With Aika and Hitomi heading back to headquarters for Kiwa, Daisuke, and Tohru did their parts to do the rest in the real world now...whatever it was.
Aika: Now heading back to the real world.
Hitomi: We'll tell them the rest when we see them again.
Good to know from the. Getting out of the engineer room as Keiko, Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru to finish up in this Palace. Going out on deck to go back to the door where Shido's Treasure was located in.
Akechi: Is this...? Shido's Treasure?
Keiko: It is...And I have to say, team...Good job using your skills to make it this far to saving Akechi-Cun and me...Morgana, you're the best navigator to the team to sensing out the Treasures location, Makoto, you led the team very well to victory; Futaba, your hacking skills really get to the team to win in any battle...Also, Ann, Ryuji, Yusuke, and Haru. You four did well to come up with plans to get to the five letters we needed, it must've been hard.
A lot to go though, but they've all managed.
Ryuji: From the food thing.
Ann: A sicko hitting on me.
Yusuke: Trying to make fine art type of tattoo.
Futaba: A mess up hacker.
Haru: A business dealer who talks bad after my father who was murdered.
And manage to beat them up to get what they needed, as Morgana places all five key cards on the doors.
Morgana: Everyone ready to go in? The key cards are all in the slots.
Opening the doors for the elevator to be waiting for them to go up, it was time to get what they needed to take from Shido next.
Makoto: The time has come...Let us get ready after making it this far, up we go.
From up the elevator to go and seeing them entering a huge hallway meeting where other politicians go to of their debate to talk about stuff into make it by law. It was huge! So big to make it echo all over the room.
Futaba: Pinocchio!
See? That much...And the very weird art head again to be looking at them as part of Shido's scene.
Ryuji: Huh? The hell is that...?!
Futaba: The ugly head art? It's pretty rockin'...!
Haru: So this...is the main assembly hall?
Akechi: I believe this is for Shido to be seeing things like this.
Knowing Akechi to tell what Shido thinks of the real world to be like, and Shido on what he sees from his distorted heart to be and look like.
Makoto: P-Probably right, Akechi-san. Darumas are often to used as symbols of election luck, plus everything else in here seems real...
It looks real, but it wasn't...Also, the Treasure was right in front of them to be in different form before it can be revealed. For this room to be so quiet, with barely any people in there right now, to be kind of weird. Huh?
Yusuke: Odd...There's isn't a single person in here. It sounded as though there was quite the crowd within when we heard voices through the door.
Ann: But given how it looks, this has to be the root of the distortion.
Morgana: Yes. I'm picking up on the Treasure's presence as well. There's no doubt this place is where it'll appear.
To be right in front of them to see it and go up a bit more check it out...
Keiko: There is it...Shido's Treasure...whatever it looks like.
Morgana: We've secured our route to the Treasure...Should we leave the Palace now, Joker?
Keiko: Yes, we'll come back here once the calling card has been send out to Shido...We'll have to think of how to do it first before returning here.
Sounds like a good idea.
Morgana: All right. It's finally time for us to send Shido's calling card...This is the final chapter in our greatest operation...We can't afford to back down from this now. Let's get fired up...!
Keiko: And what about Templar and Jester?
Futaba: Got the word from Kiwa, they got everything covered from here to do the rest in the real world.
Seems to be all good then to have backup on their side.
Morgana: Whatever they got in store, it could be good. Anyways, let's head on back.
Now returning to the real world for Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Akechi to leave the Metaverse of Shido's Palace to do the best thing for the Phantom Thieves will be back. Before leaving...Keiko goes to get some new Personas for Keiko to have some powers to use in battle in the Velvet Room.
Caroline: Just in time, Inmate! Also, welcome back. We got some new ones for you.
Justine: Pick out the ones you need and for us to prepare you with them. And please give it everything you got.
A lot of good choices for Keiko to pick out for today...
Tayla: Persona # 137 – Narcissus
Narcissus was a strong and beautiful boy of Greek mythology. He is also known for his cruel disposition; he rejected the love of the youths, boy and girl, who adored him. His final act of rejection led to him being cursed by the deity of retribution, Nemesis. He fell in love with his own reflection in the water, which inadvertently led to his death. Accounts vary on the circumstances that brought Narcissus to his watery death, and even the cause of his death differs; he either drowned himself trying to embrace the image, starved to death or killed himself for being unable to accept this love. Either way, a flower grew from the spot he died, which was named the "narcissus."
Tayla: Persona # 138 - King Frost
Most likely came from The Frost Fairies, a story written by Margaret T. Canby about King (Jack) Frost, a kind fairy king from the cold North.
Tayla: Persona # 139 – Parvati
This beautiful goddess of love is the second consort of Shiva in the Hindu mythology. A mountain princess, she is the reincarnation of the goddess Sati (Shiva's first consort), and won Shiva's love in her previous life despite his asceticism, but immolated herself after her father's disapproval. Reborn as Parvati, daughter of the snow mountain god Himalayas, she sought Shiva out. Because the gods required Shiva's offspring to defeat their fierce adversaries, they sacrificed Kama in order to stoke Shiva's suppressed desire for a female partner. The two reunited eventually and together gave birth to Kartikeya. They have the ability to merge into the half-male, half-female Ardha.
Tayla: Persona # 140 - Kurama Tengu
The most powerful and well-known of the Japanese Tengu who were said to live in Mt. Kurama in Kyoto. The Kurama-Tengu are not only said to be exceptional warriors, but also have the ability to fend off disease and bring good luck. The king of the tengu, Sojobo, is one of the Mt. Kurama tengu, and in the 12th century was said to have taught the famous warrior Minamoto No Yoshitsune the arts of swordsmanship, tactics and magic.
Tayla: Persona # 141 – Barong
The struggle between the forces of good and evil is represented in tales from the Indonesian island of Bali. Barong represents the forces of good; it is the protector of mankind, using its charms and magic to defend villagers against the deathly black magic of the witch Rangda. He is a guardian spirit that is most commonly seen in the form of a lion, although each region within Bali has its own version of Barong, the others being a dragon, boar or a tiger. Barong is animated by the brother spirit Banas Pati Rajah to do battle with Rangda in order to restore the balance between good and evil. However, after Rangda is killed, she is eventually resurrected, and Barong must do battle once again. This eternal battle is depicted in rituals seen in Bali, and in recent times have become an attraction for tourists.
Tayla: Persona #142 - Kali
Kali is a Hindu goddess associated with death, time and destruction. The name Kali means "black," but has by folk etymology come to mean "force of time (kala)." The name "Kali" means "black one" and is derived from the word "kala" (black), but has also come to mean "goddess of time". Despite her negative connotations, she is today considered the goddess of time and change. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence. More complex Tantric beliefs sometimes extend her role so far as to be the "ultimate reality" or Brahman. She is also revered as Bhavatarini (literally "redeemer of the universe"). Comparatively recent devotional movements largely conceive Kali as a benevolent mother goddess.
Kali is represented as the consort of god Shiva, on whose body she is often seen standing. She is associated with many other Hindu goddesses like Durga, Bhadrakali, Sati, Rudrani, Parvati and Chamunda. She is the foremost among the Dasa-Mahavidyas, ten fierce Tantric goddesses. Her sacred place is Calcutta, where she still retains many followers who worship her as a mother goddess.
Kali is a fierce aspect of Durga who is an aspect of Parvati. She and Durga are also aspects of the Divine Mother, Shakti.
Tayla: Persona #143 - Atavaka
Atavaka ("lord of the forest" in Sanskrit), used to be a child-eating demon until he received Buddha's
enlightenment. He then became one of the Yaksha Kings and vassal to Bishamonten, as well as the protector god of the southwest.
Hey, not bad choices there so far, huh? Keiko get some powers to use for battle from her mask to be all set to go and pays the twin girls with enough to get going.
Keiko: This should be enough. Thanks again, Justine and Caroline.
Caroline and Justine: Good luck in your rehabilitation, Inmate, and please come again.
Done and done. Going home for now as Morgana and Keiko take Akechi to Tae's clinic to have Keiko's boyfriend to be treated and text messaging the others that all is well.
Keiko: Tae, it's me. I need you to help Akechi-Cun...!
Tae: Oh, Keiko...Yes, place him on the bed and I'll get started. Then it's your turn, must've been through a lot, haven't you?
Keiko: A lot to be going on...
Seems that the doctor knows what really happened from Keiko to do her Phantom Thief thing to get to work next.
Tae: Must be hard being a thief...
Morgana: I'm glad we have people like Tae Takemi on our side.
And with that, Tae cleans, patches up a bit better for Akechi, clean out his eye, and places some medicine to get better for his body to lie in bed for a bit for the clinic to become very popular to have some hiring help to be working there. Afterwards, Tae helps out Keiko next to take pain killer pills and clean herself up.
Tae: Good news, Keiko. Besides your conditions for having to many wounds to be cleaned, you'll be fine. And your boyfriend...Goro Akechi's safe in this place for a few days to rest and heal back up, he has nothing too serious to worry about. But you can come by to visit with the spare keys to see him any time, even when I'm out.
Yep, he was going to be okay. Also it was good for Tae allow Keiko to come by the clinic to visit Akechi privately at times until he recovers.
Keiko: Yes! Thank you, Tae!
Tae: Don't mention it. Now go talk to him before I close shop, there will be a lot of guards and no word would gets out about this.
Before leaving the clinic as Keiko goes to see Akechi to be lying in bed alone for a bit until he was fine to walk around again, as Morgana waited for her from outside of the building.
Morgana: I'll meet you outside, Madame Keiko.
It was some alone time with Keiko and Akechi to be holding hands with each other.
Keiko: How are you feeling, Akechi-Cun?
Akechi: I'll be fine...Please come visit me. And don't you think I'm out of the picture, I want to still help you when I first met you guys as the Phantom Thieves. Please, Princess.
Keiko: That's fine. Listen...Remember that none of this mess isn't your fault but Loki's to make you into something you're not, for him to have his way with me almost and your anger about trying to murder your father Shido, well...you thought about doing it. Look, it was a guilt feeling to be scared of losing me or your real friends. I would've loss my mind to leave my parents to never talk to them again to live on my own, but I was wrong. I can talk to them again, they do send me money to support my independence while I'm finishing school and working hard. So don't let this get to you.
Funny that they won't let Loki down for Akechi and him to feel the same thing.
Akechi: Yeah, I won't let it...Thank you, Keiko, I hate Shido on what he did to me and my Mother to learn how to become a detective without Sae-san and my master's help, but I never wanted to murder anyone. He just grew so much to rise against me.
Keiko: I can see why Junko wanted Loki to use your body with a reason. Listen, Akechi, Makoto and Sae have a plan to send out the calling card as Shido and expose Junko for good. Thank Kiwa and the other members to help us out, whatever it is they have in mind. And you can still help us when we fight against Shido...With your help, we can all pull this one off. Text us the information about Shido and leave the rest to our skills, and then get some sleep.
Something good for Makoto, Kiwa, Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, Tohru, and Sae to have a plan to announce the calling card to Shido and expose Junko Sakurai/Queen Lilith of the liar she really is. Akechi gets to it on his cell phone right away.
Akechi: I'll see what I can do. Just seeing another me who almost ruined my life, but I fought back if it wasn't for your help and Jackie's. Let's do what we can and do keep me posted.
Keiko: Oh, we will. I got to go now to let Mr. Sakura know I'm fine since he's worry about me the most, so I'll make sure to tell him about your recovery too. So...I'll come back to visit later. Even at anytime.
Akechi: Got it. I love so much, Princess.
The kiss to embrace their real love to finally be together again to be all beautiful and worth it.
Keiko: And I love you too, Akechi-Cun. See you later then.
With him taking care of a few things and then resting up next, Akechi was happy to be someone and to bring real justice.
Akechi: (You did change my heart a lot more than you already did to fall in love with me, Keiko, I'm not alone anymore.)
Cute, huh? Akechi's going to be fine. As Keiko comes back to get hugged by Sojiro to be happy to see Keiko's safe return and Akechi's...
Sojiro: What a day that was, huh? Welcome back, you two.
Keiko: I'm glad to be back, Mr. Sakura.
All was good, and another group text message to talk about from the group did a great job today.
[Haru: We were finally able to get into the main assembly hall. Not to mention stopped Loki to rescue Akechi-san in the end. How are you feeling right now?]
[Akechi: Tired and sore, but I'll live. I'll do what I can to aid you all again. The least I can do is to do something for the Calling Card. Kiwa text me about half the idea so far.]
[Keiko: He's going to be just fine. I'm so happy, and the loss of Loki is still sad.]
[Akechi: The only thing we all can do is to carry out his wish.]
[Ann: He should've been killed, I almost felt sorry for him. That means we're ready to send the calling card too. When should we do it?]
[Yusuke: We must consider the method by which we will send it as well.]
[Ryuji: All those guys cheering for Shido and Lilith be ready. We're gonna surprise the shit outta them!]
[Futaba: I can't wait for this.]
[Ryuji: BTW, where's Makoto? She's in this chat, right?]
[Makoto: Yes, don't worry. I've been reading it.]
[Keiko: Is something wrong, Makoto?]
[Makoto: Well...]
[Haru: It's about Akechi-san's shadow self from Loki, is it not? That was really sad what happened to him...And could've happen more on to Keiko-Chan's boyfriend if Lilith arrive to end his life. Honestly, I have mixed feelings...but I think he was a victim too.]
[Ann: A victim's Shadow with a heart of true love, for none of us couldn't save...]
[Yusuke: Had I not met you all, I may have become like him as well if he didn't have us as friends and fell in love with Ms. Keiko.]
[Akechi: Come now, I get it. I'm glad to be given my own change of heart to have good friends and Keiko by my side, I know what it means of all of you to become the Phantom Thieves.]
[Ryuji: Personally speaking, I can't forget Loki. Try to take over Akechi, it was still f'd up. But more importantly, I can't forgive Lilith and Shido the most for warping Akechi's mind so goddamn much!]
[Makoto: I must agree. What Shido did is reprehensible. Even Junko who's really Lilith...They will both pay for everything. Queen Lilith the most, she's worse than Loki was.]
[Akechi: She is...At least he knew what true love was unlike her.]
[Haru: Yes. We must do this. I'm certain we'll be able to pull it off.]
[Keiko: Then let us all do this. From that world and back here.]
[Akechi: I still what I can to fight back.]
[Futaba: You can count on us. The decision on when to call us together for the plan and the other members is on you, Big Sis.]
[Keiko: Got it. Also, Akechi-Cun...]
[Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru: Welcome back!]
[Akechi: Heh. Thank you, everyone.]
Yep, they were happy to at least save Akechi if they didn't stop Junko and Cognitive Akechi from almost murdering him but his Shadow self, Loki will be missed.
Morgana: Akechi saved us and so did Loki in the end to give his life for it. I think his Shadow heart, he might not have been so bad...
Keiko: It just like seeing Akechi getting killed, it's still scary just thinking about it.'
Morgana: I know...Hey, Madame Keiko. Let's succeed on this mission, no matter what.
Keiko: Right, Morgana.
As Keiko then text messages Sae to talk to her sister Makoto about their other plan of theirs to use against Junko...Same with Kiwa, Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru's help.
Sae: I'll see what I can do, I'm a lawyer after all so please leave it to me...Good work coming back and saving Akechi-san.
And then Keiko to clean up Leblanc, and then chatting with Kawa on things...
Kawa: You look happy again, that's good.
From there and doing some crossword puzzles. To also go work for Lala at the bar to also take on another request to do later in Mementos later on from one of the costumers to have some trouble with his mean boss at work. Before calling it a night, Ohya had something she wanted to say to her young friend about something big while working at the bar; for her to finally cracked in her journalist story and skills. For this part is very important to hear about next.
Ohya: Listen here, Amamiya, I got a big thing to tell you about! Are you listening to me...? It's about Junko Sakurai, she's not a real person and her name is fake to never have a family or a sister, all lies. How do I know you may ask? Because the name Atsuko S. the maker of The Blood of Oath of the child's author books, the 'S' stands for Sakurai. Who was the only daughter in the family who were killed during World War 2! Yep, that's who she really is as some ghost or devil who's cursed...at least that's my only theory to guess about it; for her parents weren't part the whole thing to be in jail and killed but their daughter to escape and to live a new home to become a writer to bring children to feel better to move on to make a story – the Blood of Oath one. But get this! The police didn't roll her out to end her own life or get murdered, they say that Atsuko herself went off somewhere a lot to see a certain someone to go missing and never to be seen this to be a ghost later for more stories to be made, she should've been about 70 or 80 years old today, and she still looks the same of age 15 to come up with her own new life. I knew I've seen her somewhere from those old photos you told me about, Amamiya that shows me, look. I think the Phantom Thieves will get back at this real killer of the Mental Shutdowns with Psychotic Breakdowns and stopping Shido for good.
From seeing the two different photos to be from old Junko and the new one, are both the same. Junko Sakurai is really Atsuko Sakurai as a Lilith type of Shadow to stay in the same age when she went missing. Thanks to Ohya's hard work, this gives Morgana and Keiko the official of the journalist clumsy girl is a fraud all along to trick everyone with her illusions, the real villain in all of this.
Keiko: (Thank you, Ohya.) Morgana, are you seeing this...?
Morgana: I do, Madame Keiko. It settles since we see that Junko as Queen Lilith is really the old but still young looking author Atsuko Sakurai. The only child of the Sakurais to ever had to be a girl and no other relatives. With this, we'll send out the biggest calling card for Shido himself and "Junko" for the whole world to see the truth on who they truly are in person. We'll talk more tomorrow after everyone else gets out of school.
Keiko: That's a good idea. (I knew the two were a lot alike, because Junko is Atsuko.)
I think Aika and Hitomi got their answers a little more to it and another Junko? Still loss there...So all of this was good to know about and calling it a night to finally sleeping in well even for Akechi as the plan is set into motion so far. With Morgana trying to sleep, same with Keiko to be thinking about Akechi's Shadow.
Keiko: (…..I wonder what happened to Loki...I'm like to save my Akechi-Cun, but his Shadow to be set free. After we heard the gunshot on the other side of the shutters, Futaba said there were no readings left...Does this mean we'll never meet again...? Still, I want to keep our promise. Yes, I do still have that promise with Loki to keep his promise to see Akechi lie a good life, we might see him again someday...I know Loki would especially hate having it end with his defeat from us turning up dead...Still, there's nothing I can do now. Not us, Morgana, or Akechi-Cun. I should probably get some sleep...)
From some other Junko and could Loki...? It was hard to tell right now.
Year 20xx
Day # 238 - December 12/3rd – Saturday
A start of snow to fall way before Winter starts, too cold outside. Even Keiko's test message background showed snow flakes falling down. Also there was lot of the politician buildings was heating up as Junko sees the work of Shido winning this in no time to also stop the Phantom Thieves if they try to stop them, she then gets a call for Sae Niijima to ask her to come in for a little talk about the case she was working on now for Akechi to leave out for them to act like he was found to get hurt but will be fine, a nice made up story there.
Junko: Ah...Hello, Ms. Niijima? Hi! Ah, yeah, I'll be over to talk about the case later. I got time before getting my next big story about Masayoshi Shido, lots to do it's crazy to love being a journalist. OK! See you then... (Hmmm...She wants to talk to me and me alone? Trying to get me to spill the beans, aren't you? Dumb bitch. And you call yourself a lawyer who had a distorted heart, but why not? I'll talk to give her a story to remember before killing her to make it look like the Phantom Thieves did it. And for me to make more of my next story scoop to send out. This will be fun.) I better get to work then.
She's got some nerve to say such terrible things like this, huh? I hope Sae's idea will not get herself killed by Junko, a plan must be well made. As the others go throughout their day at school to do the same old thing...Just 15 days left, but it'll be enough time to steal Shido's Treasure to changing his heart from all the crimes he has done. With Keiko and Morgana waited for Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru 'Akechi on the computer laptop to see and hear everything', Kiwa, Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru 'on their end to see Leblanc for the first time; and to begin their talk about letting everyone know of Junko's crimes and Shido's to awake his Treasure to appear.
Kiwa: Everyone heating and seeing us loud and clear?
Roll call time.
Tohru: On back up.
Daisuke: That goes double for me.
Aika: Same at Leblanc. This place is nice.
Hitomi: Such wonderful coffee Sojiro Sakura makes for us.
They were good and so were everyone else, including Akechi back at Tae's Clinic.
Keiko: All set on one side, along with Aika, Hitomi, and Kiwa joining with us. Is everything all good on your end, Akechi-Cun?
From Tohru and Daisuke talking on screen side from the laptop, it was a bit different for Akechi to talk to everyone sometimes.
Akechi: I read you loud and clear. I'm doing well.
Kiwa: Then let us talk since we've gather like this.
Good to know for he's well part of the team, so let us all begin this meeting.
Futaba: Heh, there's no need to thank me...OK! Let's get this meeting underway. With the others joining us, these three are enjoying the tour. As well as the backup good adults who wish to aid us Phantom Thieves.
Yes, now before they do anything it was time to talk about it all about on what the needed to do first...
Makoto: The time's finally come...We only need to send the calling card now. Futaba, can I count on you Akechi-san to back Sis, Kiwa, his the rest of the team up when she has a interview with Junko?
They know that part for Sae was already to go whenever they were.
Kiwa: Already got it covered, Makoto.
Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru: Already got everything covered.
Same with the special Nav hacker too.
Futaba: I'm ready!
Akechi: I know my part as well.
All set to go on one end for Junko and the calling card for Shido to see for himself live and to everyone else too.
Keiko: Then lets send out the calling card.
Morgana: Once you decide to send the calling card, there will be no turning back. Madame Keiko, make sure you're fully prepared beforehand, OK?
Keiko: I'm ready. We all are, Shido must stop and then deal with Junko later. As well as finding Jackie's human host once it and Akechi are both healed. We're not only doing this for Shido on what did to me and others, but to Akechi-Cun the most. And let's not forget...There's one more Brightful Gem to form the Eternal Pearl, as well as stopping the last False God. (It has to be Junko herself.)
Akechi: I want you guys to change his heart to confess everything to have him pay for his crimes in prison.
This is it – there's no turning back now once their derision has been made.
Ryuji: It's finally comin' down to this! So, how're we gonna send the calling card?
Yusuke: It would be pointless to send it to the Diet Building.
Doing that and the guards all over will find the Phantom Thieves by Shido's orders for a big manhunt. That won't be good at all.
Makoto: And even if we handed it over to a different media sources, who knows how it would be treated...The worse case scenario would be giving it to the police under the table.
So either one of the two choices will be hard to do or for Akechi to come up with something to not work, or due to his conditions.
Haru: What shall we do then...?
Just then, Futaba started laughing to come up with another plan to do to send a message to Shido and to Junko too 'for Kiwa's plan to work at the same time' at the same time.
Keiko: Futaba?
Haru: Um, Futaba-chan...?
Futaba: My Futaba Cannon is ready.
An odd way to call it that, but okay...Where will it lead the team then?
Ryuji: Huh?
Futaba: It's good to go. Look. Now, if I do this...
From her skills and hacking for Futaba to make, she shows it all to everyone else and Akechi on how it'll be done.
Akechi: Wow!
Kiwa: Look at that...!
Makoto: When did you make this?!
Yeah, Futaba does things to be done so fast to be kind of scary.
Ryuji: You should've told us you were plannin' something!
Futaba: To trick your enemies, you first gotta trick your allies.
That's is...kind of true for everyone else to like this already.
Aika: Hey, I like this already.
Hitomi: Me too.
Whatever happens next, will...well, happen real soon.
Yusuke: How stylish.
Keiko: A weird way to do something like this, but it's better than nothing.
Ann: It's kick ass!
Haru: This should work nicely...
They're going to do it!
Ryuji: All right! It's time for people to start comin' to their senses! Everyone ready?
Getting together hand to hand for Ryuji does it first, and the others slowly join in.
Keiko: Ready!
Morgana: Let's do this!
Ann: Count me in!
Yusuke: So am I.
Makoto: Same.
Haru: I'm in as well.
Akechi: Me too.
Aika: Me three.
Hitomi: Me four.
Kiwa: What you guys just said!
Daisuke: I'll keep Sae Niijima posted.
Tohru: And the same for those who know about our secrets, just in case.
Futaba: The let's get to work, everyone! Places...!
Whatever the Phantom Thieves had in mind, they do what they can to make it work to be send to a special type of calling card to Shido by tonight. Here we go...OK – here comes the two most important parts that happens at the same time, first up is the night town for the TV on the big screen building had the news on with the lights all over to be a cold Winter weather as the news talk about the Phantom Thieves to come to an end of their crimes like their leader, soon the screen changes of the Phantom Thief logo next. With the logo and it saying: 'Take your heart'. This gets everyone else's attention right in the entire area.
[Ryuji: Yo! What is UP, everybody!]
[Yusuke: We are the ones who you all know as the Phantom Thieves.]
[Ryuji: And all of us are alive and kickin'. But the shitty guys in power? They've been manipulatin' information to try to hide the truth.]
See the Alibaba logo to have the hacking part start off by Futaba's doing all of that, and not even the other guys from the TV station can't fix or turn it off at all, they try and they failed.
TV Producer: What is this?! Where's it coming from?!
Computer Man: I dunno, and we can't switch it out! Seems we aren't the only one affected either!
Continuing on with the programming...
[Ann: So, before we appropriate our next target...We would like to first borrow your time!]
With everyone watching and confused, they see what happens next.
[Makoto: The recent scandals of public figures, the accidents caused by psychotic breakdowns and mental shutdowns-These weren't caused by unknown reasons.]
[Yusuke: One man is behind every single instance...simply to satiate hid own greed.]
[Haru: That man was afraid his crimes would be exposed and shifted blame on us.]
[Morgana: He even manipulated the police for that.]
With this going on, lots of cops were on the case to find the programming to be coming from somewhere.
[Ryuji: We only steal the hearts of criminals. But this asshole tried to dump what he did on us.]
[Haru: That just shows he doesn't care about those victims at all!]
A lot of cops couldn't call to stop this even to be crazy in their stations.
Police: Stop it! Shut everything down now!
[Makoto: The identity of that cowardly man is-]
About to show and tell for the screen to be cut off next for others wanted to know everything else. Leave it to Futaba to handle to rest to hack into.
Futaba: Oooh, the police reacted much faster than I thought. To bad...I win!
She hacks right away to stop them from the video to continue on, Futaba's one hell of a good hacker to the group.
[Makoto: The man behind it all is a current cabinet member, of all things. The Minister of State for Special Missions...Masayoshi Shido!]
It's been shown on screen, told for others to be shock about it, and the real truth!
[Futaba: Everything this guy says is a lie!]
[Ann: And to prove that...Look! As you can see, all of us are alive and kickin'! I'm sure the people investigating us can tell is this is a lie or not.]
Now shown the eight Phantom Thieves to be in the shadows on TV for others to see their figures so far.
[Makoto: Shido himself will soon confess all the crimes that he's committed.]
[Futaba: So please look forward to it!]
For the cops were shock to see the Phantom Thieves back in action.
Officer: Is this a prank...?
The others don't know about either.
Police: No way...! Could this be real?
Blocking the scene from other officers and more people watching the rest on the big screen all over...
[Ryuji: We're not gonna sit back and watch some crook wreck this country just 'cause of his goddamn ego! Ain't that right...Leader?]
Showing Alibaba drawing biting on Shido's head to make the image smaller for Ryuji as Skull to hold it in his hands. Soon out of the shadows, others were surprise for Keiko to show her face as Joker for everyone to see that she was still alive and well.
[Keiko: Yes. Before that happens, we will take this country!]
For others to be cheering to see the truth and wanted the Phantom Thieves who believe and see the truth now, as Shido gets his on his iPad to be hacked was not good news for him at all. While his helpers were making calls for him.
Worker: Hello? Yes...Yes...We're looking into into it now...
Looks like Shido excepts it...
Shido: Very well. I'll crush them beneath my heel!
The battle was on now to get Shido's Treasure...And before it was all over, the screen shuts off again for a few seconds for Futaba to add in another surprise next, now for the second part when Junko Sakurai 'or rather Atsuko Sakurai and who's really Queen Lilith' enters in the lawyers office building to talk to Sae. As she wants her dead tonight, Sae Niijima had another ace up her sleeve before the calling card live happened.
Junko: (Here we go...) Hello, Ms. Niijima? You wanted to see me? I'm here...
Sae: Yes, Sakurai, right on time. Come in. Please have a seat.
She sits down to act cheerful and friendly to be a bit clumsy 'as an act' to play it cool.
Junko: Of course...! What do you wish to talk about?
Here goes nothing...
Sae: Sakurai, please let us talk about the event of you and Akechi stopping the Phantom Thieves on the day you volunteer to stopping them for me. If you would be so kind.
Junko: I'll be more than happy to. Let me see...I grew up with just my little sister Megami and me with some parent issues during the time, from the Midnight Strike event from five years ago...And two years ago where Wakaba Isshiki was also murder. My sister worked at home and a part time job while our parents got separated, with out grandparents were murder with no traces of evidences to find the killer, so I became a journalist to start off my first year in high school to catch the bad guys who did it. And like the Phantom Thieves, I thought I help out a good friend Goro Akechi stopped them...You're right about one thing, I should've told you and hm about this from the beginning and I'm sorry. Still, I hate to see what the other murderers will do since their leader committed suicide...she must've been out of her mind. My God...But seriously, justice is one thing we got to let the scoop story the way I did out to the world for good people to fight back and by the law itself. From those victims too I'm friends with to lose their loss one, I know it was said. (With some changes to the world to happen real soon...) You see what I mean, Ms. Niijima? In fact, look. My notebook papers has proof of all of the details.
She sees them 'to already know all about it' for Sae then lowers her into a trap next.
Sae: I see...Not bad, Sakurai. I feel like you were born with powers like the Phantom Thieves to get this when you and your sister were in danger from the killer?
Junko: Huh...? Oh, right! It did! But I only used it to trap the Phantom Thieves was all...nothing more. I'm done to become a great journalist of Japan.
Sae: Yes, but you also leave other people's contact phone numbers on here...I wonder why?
Seeing Shido's for Junko to plays silly again to try covering it up from Sae to make up a story as well.
Junko: Ah...! I have no idea what you're talking about...I must've been so busy, you have nothing else to write it on is all. That's it! Oopsy me with exposing people's phone numbers like that. Hello?! Hahaha...
Nice try, but Sae's not an idiot.
Sae: Is that so...? Okay, if you're good making stories like a few people I know of too like you, then rumor has it you've been going to the Diet Building a lot. That's something a teenager like you would be in to knowing about these politician on someone who's too clumsy...
Junko: Excuse me...? They tried to kill me to leave a note to tell them not to do it again and paid for them. I was lucky to have my life spared and enough money to make them stop...! I was scared to have Megami worried-!
From the photos there, data unknown print of Junko to be all a lie, other photos of Junko today as the other one from the past.
Sae: See these...?
Junko: So? It's some girl who almost looks a lot like me from back then-!
Sae: Some girl who looks like you...? How odd to let that slip your mind so quickly.
Oops, Junko just did a slip up.
Junko: Oh...Really...?
Sae: And don't think your clumsiness can get out of this one. From you going back and forth to the Diet Building a lot to see a certain man name Masayoshi Shido, faking your identity, family to not be real or your sister, the photo shows of this woman and you from World War 2 are the same person, and your acting are showing your true self, Junko Sakurai. Oh, wait...Or should I call you by your real name who should be an elderly woman and close to her death bed by now...Atsuko Sakurai! The children's author book of The Blood of Oath and the only child in the Sakurai name after your parents were killed by Nazi and from losing a close friend to you to look like the girl you're disguise as! That's who you really are.
Once Sae shows Junko to he book to have some terrible memories about it all, it was no doubt to be the truth for her to remember, learn, and get caught the hard way. And to look like the girl who Atsuko befriend with from the books she made, makes sense there.
Junko: What...? Where did you...? Who gave this to you...? (I knew I should've destroyed my books years ago!)
Getting up to try to act clumsy tripping, Junko slips up again to use her powers to stop falling down and float back up on her feet.
Sae: Nice save.
Junko: It was an accident...! Look, Ms. Niijima...Where are you getting at?
Seeing the same phone number of Shido's for Junko to have on her, and Sae to have the same thing to show to her true face.
Sae: This is where I'm getting at...
Playing the recording talk about her and Shido about their plans...
Junko: But how?!
Sae: You should thank Futaba-chan's hacking skills and Kiwa Tsuba's researching for it and the Phantom Thieves for saving me to see the real truth after fighting my Shadow, along with my Treasure, and to changing my heart by seeing the truth before my eyes. That's right...Their leader's still alive and the Phantom Thieves are back. But I bet you're wondering how they, me, Ms. Ohya, Mr. Yoshida, and Akechi-san figured all of this mystery out. I'll tell you...
This is getting really good here, huh? Sae has got Junko in a cornered to talk for them to be in the room while the other cops guarding door were just two back outside of it.
Tayla: I'll explain the rest! Sae says about Junko to tell she's the only Sakurai family's only daughter during the time from the entire book...It was them in their small family to written children's story book to love them when she was little until her family were killed in Concentration Camp to leave Atsuko to live a sad life to make more for her parents to be proud of her, but it wasn't enough even after murdering the people who killed her mother and father. Somehow, she wanted more...One being saved her who's been trapped to talk about feelings for each other to soon fall in love to understanding a lot, thus the Blood of Oath was made then to become a big hit; last of the makings of her before everyone thought Atsuko Sakurai went M.I.A. Once the war was over. Along with a random girl she was friends with, the one who was close to death's door from an illness she wanted to save. But nope...She freed the creature to both cause trouble in another world to become powerful and got back to those who seal this monster away as Atsuko stays in hiding...without knowing of the key escaped too who can hold the beast, but who were they? Hey, it says so it the book for Sae to read it all to Junko/Atsuko with Futaba and Makoto getting more information as well. It seems Atsuko wanted to live forever and the girl in order to save her; only for the other Junko to live on today somewhere in Japan. The book prove it all thanks to Aika and Hitomi of their research they've done. But how was she able to stay young since then for her to save the other girl and gain immortal? From one Shadow being a Lilith, the beast saves Atsuko's life to let her stay young forever by drinking this Shadow's blood completely. Ew...! To soon place a curse upon herself to split really fast into two other living beings, and a bit from the other girl to be in the Velvet Room, where Caroline and Justine had to save her...One weak Atsuko was missing while the other didn't care to go wondering off to use her powers to cause people to have psychotic breakdowns and mental shutdowns – men, women, children, she would victimize all of them for the more to fall from her powers to drain the Shadows, the deadlier and stronger Lilith gets to become a type of queen to control some Shadow and others to make by hand; and the other girl to flee after seeing what Atsuko's been doing for a long time now.. Also unaware of Atsuko and her mysterious lover to still be doing this many years later today, still hiding in who knows where; then later Loki comes along next to aid her magic to make the Black Mask and illusions to fool with everyone's eyes to get away with this until now. Like the other members of Metropolis 12 – Junko made it all and killed Wakaba to be a member to fool everyone, well almost...But Kiwa saw it all for the other four worked together to fix it all, and stopping the fake Ren Tsuba being a Shadow with Sith were hired. And soon, knowing about some people's mess up desires to grant them so far even Shido ask for her help to become prime minster while having her cause some accidents and help her get the gems to create the Eternal Pearl. With the seven gems to make it, she can change the world to be dying by bad people, war, and such to be destroyed to help out...Really?! For Lilith and the beast's love to stay strong for all eternity for more power. With Sae saying all of those things to be true to have Atsuko to start freaking out.
Junko: ….! But..! They're just kids! And the Phantom Thieves...?
Sae: From you look from your reaction, I say you're good as guilty. Confess to your crimes if you know what's good for you, Atsuko Sakurai...
Junko: Nooooo! Why should I?! I'm doing you people a favor...! You human don't get how bad this whole world's getting to become today, all of the worlds are! My life has been crushed, destroyed, I loss the only friend who I try to save and then take off on me; and hurt to not go on until that happened that means so much to write that book for a reason, I didn't think someone who's smart enough to get it...But of course it would come up soon enough to be dumb to show it to the world 60 years later! 60 years for my friend and me to live this long for all eternity ever since then!
Sae: Wow...You just said a mouth full. I think you have just confess-!
Getting mad to go up to Sae to pin her up against the wall with her nails getting closer for her to see this coming from Junko herself.
Junko: Oh, like you can proof to the others out of the room! All of them working for Shido like I am...And that director, I couldn't care less what I did to killing that bastard. He was just the tool until we had everything done. I'm aware of Keiko being alive, your identity secrets I couldn't care less about, I can just kill them at anytime I want...But you hearing my story will be your last before I kill you first. It's been fun, Ms. Niijima, but you did brought this upon yourself.
This gives Sae the sign to hit the button carefully to give Akechi's the sign to turn on the sounds in town, and Futaba too as she hacks through again to something else for others to hear once the calling card show was done.
Tohru: Hurry up and go, you two.
Daisuke: Sae has to keep Lilith busy until then. Hurry it up...!
Along with Aika and Hitomi to knock out Junko's bodyguards to become them and sets up everything; from lights, camera, microphone, and WIFI connection to set it everything up all live.
Aika: This has got to work.
Hitomi: And it will.
Now it was time to turn them all on for power.
Sae: Kill me? True, I wanted to do this one alone. And by grabbing a hold of me to be killed like this so I won't tell my story. Is that it, Atsuko?
Junko: Well, I rather be called Junko or Queen Lilith...Maybe Lilith more than my old name.
Sae: So why do all of this? You think changing the world with power and kill innocent lives will do you any good? I don't think so.
The speakers were on 'as planned and set' for others all over town to hear all about it and for Akechi to smile, knowing they've got Junko now for him, Sae, the other Phantom Thief members, and Shido himself to hear the entire confession to Junko's on the big screen TV all over town.
Junko: Really...? Fine, Ms. Niijima, I admit! I caused all the mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns and Loki helped me do other major parts. I did kill the woman who Shido sued Keiko on a crime she didn't even do because she was going to crack, shot through the heart once she opened the door...Bang! Quick and easy. The next was Principle Kobayakawa who was going to spill the beans, so I made him spill his guts instead. Okumura to meet his end to betray Shido behind his back. And for the director who was your old boss, well...you already know about his timing end. And for Keiko...I made her sick and hurt her from drowning at the beach for the hell of it, it was quite funny; as well as have Yuuki's Mishima's Shadow get killed by his bad Cognitive self, it was a bonus there. But most importantly, I want to live forever with the man I love to be an outcast who saved me from the Metaverse to be sealed away from that, the real world of yours, and Mementos to try fixing things, but the damn Warden stopped us and a little girl to replace them with some friends, but the weaker side of me, I'm glad I'm not seeing her again to kill a Shadow to become a Lilith on my own term and the treasure to keep my lover safe from being locked away, I'll make sure he never does it ever again. I will also find my friend later as well as thank a bit from Cait Sith and Cthulhu to hire them to live a better life in their world. Even made it look like Kiwa's stupid cousin. And for Wakaba should've stay quiet, but I had to end her life to get the works for Shido, all of it. So I pretended to be a human to get to the Phantom Thieves to put to them to be blame on a crime I've committed, I even murder Loki to try to do the same with Goro Akechi because of his daddy Shido who left him to leave his mistress to die to leave the stupid detective miserable that almost had him killed! Ha! So good! Even using Aika, Hitomi, and Daisuke to do all of the dirty work for me, just to have Tohru Hitachi working for them. What a joke! All this to also watch his girlfriend get raped for me to shoot her to the head to look like a suicide to end the Phantom Thief leader, to then the others would be next to die by my hands. I'll do it all like the Jack Frost has been down for the count, all by being a journalist to fool everyone else with my illusions to be a Persona-user code name Witch, a made up Persona user to use Mochizuki until the very end before she could confess to then put my plans to action. With one more gem for Shido to use and the other six to get back, the pearl will be mine! Now, Ms. Niijima, you know everything to be the last case you'll remember very well...Is there any last words you wish to say before I end your life?
Thought to be the end...Well, not the way Sae was smiling back at Junko to leave her off guard.
Sae: Just one, Atsuko...Smile for the camera.
Junko: What do you mean, you stupid bitch-?
Stopping to hear an echo coming from outside on the jumbo TV to be on live to see and hear herself all over town for others to see her 'for some close by', she was now exposed.
Sae: Surprise.
Same with Aika and Hitomi breaking in with Junko's men out cold to have their guns out to stop Junko fake as Atsuko/Lilith, for her crimes are finished.
Aika: Exposed!
Hitomi: We got you good, didn't we?
And trap like a rat too.
Junko: No...! NOOO! But how did you-?! Since when did all of you recorded all of this? Tell me!
All part of hers and Makoto's plan from the very beginning, since Sae wanted in on the plan the most...
Sae: Makoto and I are not idiots to let this slip by us...We see, we learned, and then we take it out. Akechi-san use the sound recording for me to control and give the signal; allowing Futaba-chan to hack through the rest with all of the security cameras to play the whole thing, and your old co-workers helping out on the rest. And it worked...
That's right, and the faker felt for all of it. For her to be smiling as well as Akechi to watch the whole thing.
Akechi: Mission completed.
And the others – Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru watch the rest on TV back on the streets of town to hide from other people in the big crowd 'as well as Futaba in her room to take are of the rest'.
Futaba: Busted!
Same thing with Daisuke and Tohru to watch this whole thing go down.
Tohru: It's payback time, you bitch.
Daisuke: Here comes my favorite part of this show next. I love it!
With everyone else shocked and left staring in silence on what Junko said and such...She was screwed now with no way out out of this one, besides showing her monstrous hands to change was the last evidences to be shown.
Junko: Ah...Hello, everyone of Japan. It's me, journalist of Shujin Academy first year, Junko Sakurai. Please forgive my joke...I was being foolish to also play around with Ms. Niijima and the others, I mean I wasn't really going to kill her. No way! Yeah, that's all.
Yeah, you're done, lady.
Woman: You bitch murderer!
With one person saying that out of the crowd, causing them all to start booing and saying harsh words at Junko to not get away from this one, for the cops turn to arresting her and question Shido to also be in big trouble now.
Junko: Now come on...! Can't any of you guys take a joke? Settle down please... (Hey, Shido...! Help me out here...)
For Junko to try explaining to Shido about the situation got out of hand, he would take the Phantom Thieves' battle to face with them as he leaves Junko to let the law deal with her and not him to make it this far.
Shido: (Forget it, Lilith, you're on your own. You screwed up and now you're done. I'll be sure to return the gem when I'm done with them...A little payback for all you did for me. See ya around.) Time for me to go. I won't lose to my true goal, not like this...!
As he leaves for Junko was now trapped from all of this.
Junko: Shido! Wait!
Sae: It's over, Atsuko. You've lost.
Kiwa was also watching the whole thing on his end back in town.
Kiwa: Strike three, you're out faker. (This is for you, Ms. Isshiki and Kasumi.)
This makes Junko/Queen Lilith/Atsuko Sakurai to really lose it for it to all be caught on TV.
Junko: No...! Stop! Stop it! Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP! I still need to pearl...You won't stop me!
With the cops surrounding the building for them, Sae, Aika, Hitomi, Kiwa, Daisuke, Tohru, and Futaba 'before joining with the others' see something deadly was powering up Junko's body to destroy her human form to never be seen ever again after this. Ha!
Futaba: Look out! You dumb cops don't know what you're all getting yourselves with her!
Kiwa: Quickly, get out of the building now!
But it's too late for Junko transforms into her true form of Queen Lilith to really get mad to let out a very big roar.
Lilith: DAMN YOU PHANTOM THIEVES! YOU'RE ALL GOOD AS DEAD AND I WILL GET MY ETERNAL PEARL! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAARHG!
From the fear of everyone running away and Queen Lilith takes flight for Sae to make her escape, leaving this powerful Shadow to retreat to the world she came from with her lover to still be hiding somewhere in the Metaverse to all be true. She was powerful, fast, and very angry to not to be mess with. For Akechi to see the whole thing, Futaba, Kiwa, the other four backup members, and the other Phantom Thieves witness the whole thing other than the other plan worked; not Junko to be Atsuko Sakurai as the Shadow enemy Queen Lilith was on the run and most wanted to be hunted down and for Shido to take the seventh gem to use for battle...Wow, what a jerk! The people in black suits were panicking from this crisis's to happen for Shido to go down.
Police Director: Did the remaining members put that notice out?! What did they mean when they said "nobody has died"?! Could they have installed a new leader just to threaten us and Shido?! And that bitch Junko sold us out!
Chief Detective: We're going to check with the different departments...Excuse me...Yes. What...?! How can that be?!
He gets a call to answer his cell phone next.
Police Director: What is it?
Chief Detective: The Phantom Thief's corpse seems to be missing from the morgue!
Police Director: Didn't your men check the death certificate and carrier documents?!
Chief Detective: Yes, but...um...
I don't think they got nothing.
Police Director: Give me a straight answer!
Chief Detective: Perhaps the Phantom Thief tricked us with her bizarre powers! Maybe she just made us think she had died...
Police Director: Who made those documents...?Who was there at the scene of the suicide?!
With them in trouble, same with Shido who returns to his office, demanding for this to be fixed right away. He looks pissed...
Shido: (I'll deal with Junko later.) Find a way to stop a change of heart! Don't we have Wakaba Isshiki's research materials?! And what about Loki?! Where is that useless Shadow go?! He must've run away knowing he would fail to have that stupid Akechi escaped. Bring Loki to me when you find him alive or dead! Got that?!
Like he'll do to Junko later, Shido will do the same thing with Loki 'to already be dead'. I think he knows already to not let word get out about his son either. Getting angrier to let his men to get the order to running out of the room to getting to work, Shido hits his hand on the table in the rage he was in...Shido Shadow will be ready for the Phantom Thieves to try stealing his Treasure and to change this guy's heart. Hey, we still haven't seen what he really looks like yet, haven't we?
Shido Shadow: I'll erase any who gets in my way...just as I've always done!
Here comes the whole security levels to go up at his Palace to 99% percent to be careful not to get caught at all...It's time. Later for Sae to go downstairs for some men in black suits surround her for some questioning.
Senior Detective: Where is the Phantom Thief's body?
She plays the part to be very new to learn about this news.
Sae: Phantom Thief? Body...?
Senior Detective: This isn't the time for games!
This lawyer's one hell of a actor to act all innocent-like.
Sae: Um, I really don't know what you're speaking of...Oh, but that reminds me...I received a calling card from the Phantom Thieves...but everything from then on is a blur...No...Could I have done something wrong...?! Then, I...I...!
It was from this point of Sae to feel weak to faint for the other men to help her out...suckers!
Senior Detective: Hey?!
Junior Detective: Did the Phantom Thieves get to her...?
Senior Detective: Don't tell me, was your heart...Could this be true, Niijima?!
This was going well...
Sae: What have I done...?
Senior Detective: The Phantom Thief! She's alive!
Junior Detective: Even so, how did she escape from the station...?
Senior Detective: It doesn't matter! We must catch her! We can't let this get out! Not only was the suicide announcement false, but she got away on top of that! We'll have to interrogate you...as a key witness.
She agrees to go along with this whole thing for now.
Sae: Why me...?
Senior Detective: Check the documents you created. You may remember something once you look at them...But even if you can't recall, all responsibility for her escape rests squarely on your shoulders.
Sae: I'm sorry, I honestly don't know what's going on here...
A lot to act the part like Sae doesn't know a thing and got out alive from Queen Lilith's rage.
Senior Detective: You're the last person to talk to the Phantom Thief woman! You have to clean up your boss's mess! If you're going to resent someone, resent your dead director!
Like that was true at all since Queen Lilith told her about murdering the SIU Director.
Sae: Is illness really what killed him? Do you think his death was truly due to illness?! (It was all Atsuko's doing.)
Senior Detective: That doesn't matter! Your actions have made a mockery of the police force! You're going to pay with for this, I promise!
Sae: ...Very well. (It's all up to you now, everyone. We stopped Atsuko so far for you to take care of Shido first and then her.)
Now it was time for Kiwa to return to have Aika and Hitomi enter in Shido's Palace.
Kiwa: All set, Sae got everything else covered. Officer Daisuke, get the Metaverse app ready, Tohru have the microphone and camera set up, and Aika and Hitomi...You two back up Keiko and the others. Let's go change Shido's heart. Lilith will be stopped and one more False God to be stopped too.
Daisuke and Tohru: On it, Boss.
Having Aika and Hitomi to do the rest on their phone apps to get work, Sae gives them the okay to escape the building and they did.
Aika: We're on. Hitomi, let's get to work. Suit up! Code name - Templar!
Hitomi: Here goes then. Iwamura, I'm all set to go. Suit up! Code name - Jester!
There they go then, one can never be to have backup on your side. Meanwhile, going with the other men as some get to work in finding the Phantom Thieves, the news hits big right way at night time...Even for Sojiro to see back at Leblanc on his TV.
Newscaster: [Police officials are said to be currently reviewing the facts of the Phantom Thieves' notice, to Junko Sakurai fraud identity of some type of animal on the run, and...]
It was there that the two men in black suits enter into the cafe to have a few words with Sojiro, looks like trouble to look around the whole building. But he sees this part coming already to be ready for them.
Sojiro: Welcome.
Agent Leader: Search the place. You're Sojiro Sakura, yes?
Sojiro: Who the hell're you?
Please be careful, Sojiro, these guys mean business.
Agent Leader: Where are the Phantom Thieves?
Sojiro: Oh, you mean those guys they've been talking about on TV?
They mean real business to be serious and dangerous.
Agent Leader: Don't play dumb with me.
Sojiro: This is obstruction of business, you know.
Agent Leader: ...We've investigated this thoroughly.
Sojiro: Is this the only was you do things?
One comes back to tell the others the bad news.
Agent: They're not upstairs!
The man grabs hold of Sojiro to make him talk.
Agent Leader: Where are the Phantom Thieves?
Sojiro: If you're not a costumer, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Agent Leader: He's an accomplices. Take him away.
Having Sojiro arrested, he has to stay strong until this was all over with.
Sojiro: Don't get all cocky. You're just some useless criminal's lapdog. Justice isn't on your side.
Hang in there, Sojiro! As back outside to see Queen Lilith fleeing and the truth of Shido has been exposed so far, he makes another speech that it was all a lie.
[Shido: The notice up forth by these so-called Phantom Thieves is absolutely groundless. And that journalist sold me out after she work so far to make it stop, she's been working with them this entire time. It is nothing more than a wicked terrorist act, aim at obstructing the elections. What we need now is a powerful, unyielding leader. I am willing to risk my life to fight them all.]
Good to have some people to be rooting for the Phantom Thieves, while others...are having a bit trouble with this whole thing.
Officer Worker: Which one is right: Shido or the Phantom Thieves?
Plump Housewife: I hear what Shido-san is saying, but is it true?
Absolutely...It's Shido who's wrong!
[Shido: I speak now to those who call themselves Phantom Thieves. Your actions are gravely serious crimes. You are rebelling against the laws of this country and unnecessarily causing alarm among its citizens. I call on you to surrender yourselves at once and apologize to the people of this proud nation.]
Wow, this guy doesn't give up now doesn't he...?
Gaudy Young Man: The Phantom Thieves cut into a live broadcast signal, didn't they? They're crazy...
Flashy Girl: But don't you think that Shido looks like a criminal too?
Office Worker: I don't know what to believe anymore...
Plump Housewife: I hope they catch them soon...
For others to still like Shido 'for most to be fooled'...For the eight Phantom Thieves 'as Futaba joins with them and Akechi to be ready to wait for them to watch from the Metaverse with his laptop again' got the game all set to go.
Keiko: It worked. (Thank you, Sae. Kiwa, you Daisuke and Tohru also did great. Also Aika and Hitomi, be careful backing us up. And Mr. Sakura, we'll be back for you...)
Ryuji: That bastard Shido's tryin' to act all clam, but he's prolly freakin' out on the inside. From Junko spillin' the beans too...Who woulda thought she was really Atsuko Sakurai of a children's book to be the real criminal.
Keiko: It was Morgana and I who found it and Akechi-Cun to help us out a little. It might have something to do with Morgana's past.
That could be the case, but we'll save that for later.
Morgana: Maybe, Madame Keiko...
They know it now for Makoto and Ohya solved the case.
Yusuke: "Apologize"? Quite the funny joke.
Haru: Who is the real criminal here?
It was time to move out.
Keiko: The trains coming to get to the Diet Building, let's hurry.
As they leave the scene to catch the train to get to Shido's treasure to steal to change his heart, another false god to beat, and one more gem to go. And there wasn't nothing to worry about Queen Lilith, Sith, of Fake Ren 'to calling him for the time being' to be showing up anytime soon, Shido Shadow comes first before the others.
Ann: She won't follow us, right?
Futaba Nah! She's too much of a coward to be hiding from the world right now. We're fine to get the pearl.
Makoto: Then we better be ready for anything. Back to the Diet Building, we're doing this tonight.
All of this was going to happen for the eight were ready to ride the train to the building of politician place where Shido was at in his office, he will be stopped. And more to stopping Atsuko Sakurai/Queen Lilith next and the last false god on whoever it was to learn more about Morgana's past later to do with a children's book. Another Junko to be the real girl for Lilith to turn into to save her friend's life; they both have immortality to never age since after the World War 2 event, sucks doesn't it? We know some of the things so far, just not all of details just yet. As they got ready, so was Akechi with his laptop, head gear, camera, and everything else while recovering at Tae's clinic to listen in to calling up Sae to tell her what to do and a few others for Sojiro's safety. They're just using him to get some answers – or try to. All he can do while still aiding Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru to take out Shido to confess to his crimes for their final calling card along with Aika and Hitomi trying to back them up. From Keiko to be proven innocent too, stopping the murders, and Akechi to bring his father to justice...it all comes down to this.
Akechi: (Father...No, Masayoshi Shido...I'm going to see you destroyed in your defeat for your dreams to be crushed.)
All of this will be a battle of a life time. What will happen next...? I guess we'll soon find out next time for this guy to not be election as the next prime minister at all, not one bit! Go, Team Drago of Phantom Thief of Hearts! Go!
