Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #140 - Atsuko Sakura - Queen Lilith
While Jose sees them taking off for the Phantom Thieves to pass by him.
Jose: Everyone...
Keiko: Jose, we'll fix everything. I hope to still see you other than Mementos so I hope this isn't goodbye.
Leaving now, he'll wait for their return.
Jose: Then please very careful.
As they drove around to getting to the entrance, it opens up for them, for they all walk on foot down those stairs to look like a very old abandoned train station from underground of what hell feels like in sci-fi movies. For this last one was the Path of Iweleth.
Keiko: This place...
Ryuji: What the hell is this?!
Very freaky looking of the end path of Mementos from the looks of it.
Futaba: Feels like more of a fossil...weird...look thingy. Is the Treasure down here?
Trying to pick up something for Futaba, to find a small trace of it to be straight ahead. For this type of Treasure, must be a very rare one of all. Also, from in the outer walls have trains to be moving a lot.
Yusuke: Wait, look inside...It's the trains running down to Mementos?
Akechi: It looks like it. But the question is this...Where are the crowd of people trying to reach to?
A lot of trains come and go to get people on there and out again.
Makoto: People are walking in and out, so the other side must be...Wait! That's not a wall, but a giant door?!
Looks like it, for they have a long way to go to finding where the real Treasure could be in there, somewhere. And wherever it could be at right now.
Ryuji: Guess the Treasure's not here. Let's stay focus and stay close, starting with the search.
They all go up to the biggest giant door there right in front of them to figure out how to get it to open up...it kind of looks like they were in a body lair of a giant dragon. Almost...
Keiko: We're near the door...We just need to get it to open, somehow.
Ryuji: And how can we...?
From one touch to not be Ryuji's doing to making him trip, they see the door opening up on its own for them. Very freaky...!
Morgana: It opened straight away...I bet that means the inner depths the Meta-Nav was talking about before are right ahead.
The door looked like it had an evil face on it...Before they went inside, Futaba was getting something.
Futaba: Hold on. The door only opens from this side...
Ann: ...What do you mean, Oracle?
Futaba: I took a quick peek of the door form the inside...So once we go in, we cannot get out. Until this whole mess is over.
Makoto: And whatever is lying from within must be locked away very well for some reason...
Haru: The people who go in there are choosing a life of imprisonment? Is that it?!
It's like really being stuck into a living nightmare that never ends to make you suffer with no end to it.
Yusuke: This awful feeling...What is this place?
Morgana: We'll find out once we reach the depths. Come on, let's go.
No use of returning now, huh? All nine of them go into the room to be very strange to get even weirder on what they all see next from the inside...For it was huge! With it being completely dark with some red line running courses one after another for these things to light up from the frightful odd colors of red to see glowing up all over.
Akechi: This is not the type of night light I want to have.
Ryuji: What the hell is this place?! Are you sure we're not in someone's body or somethin'?
No, but it could be to still be in a sci-fi movie type of nightmare to be both scary and very real.
Ann: It's too creepy...
Keiko: Look how big this room is.
Very big to be like some type of hidden caves.
Yusuke: So those strange pipe tunnelings through Mementos were originating down here after all. They do look like a something of a inside body veins part.
Yeah, Yusuke does have a good point there...
Ann: More importantly...what's up with the atmosphere? What kind of distortion is this place? I mean, what does everyone else thinks of this world?
Between that and Morgana was getting a strange feeling from down below to sense it out. Even Keiko and Akechi can sense it ten times more before the other members could.
Morgana: Calm down, Lady Ann. The Treasure is in here somewhere, that's what's important right now. I also can sense something else...A tremendous presence that's coming from much deeper from within...
Makoto: I really don't want to know what it is, but...I think it's only our best option we have left to do. It's time to head for the depths!
A long drop from down below than they were standing up there, huh? For them to be ready on what's to come next, they have to try it out.
Keiko: Akechi-Cun...
Akechi: Who knows what will await for us, but we have to move forward. For you, my comrades, my friends, and my true love...We have to hence forth.
With him holding Keiko's hand, they can do this.
Keiko: We can do this...The further we go, the more we get everything done by today. This will be a Christmas Eve that none of us will not forget.
Standing in front of the the Phantom Thieves were lots of cognition people to waiting in line for something to be in their way on the path they needed to be by getting down and not by jumping hard to get killed from that height.
Ryuji: What's with the line?
Morgana: They all must be waiting in the line from the door up ahead. See it?
Ann: But why's it so crowded?
It's like waiting in line for a live concert, only this to be a real nightmare to come true to go to heaven or hell type of gate line almost.
Futaba: Looks like to be me the door is keeping the others out. So we need to find another way inside, let's look around and watch out for any Shadows.
From the door to not open up at all from budge the lever didn't do nothing. So, it's going down from one step ledge at a time it.
Keiko: Going down then...
Going around the place and staying together, for them to find another way inside to be good to open up this door.
Akechi: This must be it.
Futaba: Yes, we can do this. Be careful, everyone. OK?
From one side to another they go through and continue doing the same old thing all over go down more and more...This dark area of the entire depths of Mementos was becoming something else for the Phantom Thieves in every turn they go to, it was a good thing they weren't moving away from each other at all. From the next turn, they hear some people talking for them to stop to see what was going on.
Keiko: Wait up, team. Listen. Wow...Look at all of those people cognitive ones to be in some type of jail cells and talking, so weird.
It was where they were walking up to...
Futaba: Hm?! You're right, Joker. What is this place...?
Looking all around them, there was a lot of people in a huge jail cells to be talking about things they complain about all day long in this world, for it was a mess to see something so real-like.
Akechi: These cognitions are like innocent people in real life to all be imprisoned.
Futaba: Are those...chains around them? ….Is this a prison?!
A lot of it to be and it is something like Mementos type of jail to hold up a lot of cognitive people-like all over this entire room.
Ryuji: Who's capture here?
Makoto: Technically speaking, I would say it's someone's Shadow...
Moving up a bit closer to the jail cells to hear what they were all saying fro cognitions and Shadows type of people locked up.
Haru: They're saying something...
All of them wanted to stay in their own jail cells and not leave at all, like they enjoy it a lot. Really? Like they don't have a care in the world.
Male Shadow Prisoner: C'mon, don't be out there and come on in.
Female Shadow Prisoner: Don't open the cells, OK? I have no intention of leaving this place...!
This feels kind of wrong.
Yusuke: They feel safe being here...? What're you saying? You're being kept in a prison.
Morgana: This reminds me of Kamoshida's Palace...They're like the "slaves" we saw there.
And it's still sad like the first one to see this type of mess...
Old Man Shadow Prisoner: That's right...This place is the best in the end. In the depths within is a system that grands desires...
Is that what the main Treasure of Mementos is...?
Ann: A system that grants...desires?
Ryuji: Something like that exists...? Here?!
That's all they can say and not get any more answers out of them to ignore other things in like to be emos of mess up miserable people.
Makoto: It's no use. You can't reason with these people.
Keiko: Is like they want to be cut off to the real world for good.
Yusuke: They're truly "distorted," just like the scenery here...
Male Shadow Prisoner: You end up searching for stuff or being troubled because you're outside the prison. There are things you don't need to know to live on.
Old Man Shadow Prisoner: He's right. Things like the details on the system, the looked "Quarantine Cell"...
Like what? They wanted to lock themselves out of the outside world to live in isolation or something...?
Makoto: Quarantine? Who's locked in there?
Old Man Shadow Prisoner: Supposedly a great ad truly dangerous criminal, but who would want to check a place like that? Come now, we don't have to chat like this. Why not come inside?
Seeing people to look, act, and stay as prisoners like this...Like they've all given up hope to remind Morgana about something of himself to remember again.
Keiko: Mona, are you feeling all right? Has another memory has come back to you? (It has to be from the way he's been acting so odd lately.)
Futaba: ….? Mona?
Morgana: ….
So much to be going on here, soon a guard Shadow was on patrol to spot the Phantom Thieves. Not good...
Surveillance Guard: Hm? Why are you out and about? Where are your restraints?!
Now they needed to fight to get through them.
Ryuji: Oh crap...!
With one guard, another joins with him.
Surveillance Guard: Removing your restraints is not allowed. Outsiders...must be eliminated!
Turning into robot flying type of Shadows to fight against the Phantom Thieves. Fast, machine-like weapons to fire off, flying a lot, and real fire power to be strong to avoid dodging and trying to fight back.
Tayla: Persona # 175 – Sukuna-Hikona
Sukuna-Hikona, or in full, Sukuna-Hikona No Kami, is the Japanese dwarf deity of healing and sake brewing and is associated with hot springs. He assisted Okuninushi in building the world and formulating protections against disease and wild animals in myths from the Izumo region.
He first arrived in Izumo in a small boat of bark and clad in goose skins. Later, he was picked up by Okuninushi, and Sukuna-Hikona promptly bit him on the cheek. The two, nevertheless, became fast friends.
His shrine is located in Dosho-machi, Osaka.
As Akechi and Keiko use their fighting skills to beat them up, for Morgana to slingshot the rest of them, allowing for Futaba to boost their attacks up; leaving Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru to do a group attack by shooting their wings to beating them up in the end. Both of these Shadows were down for the count!
Futaba: They're done for!
A nice counter attack in team work, but that was only the first few of the Shadows to try to stop the Phantom Thieves next to know they're here now.
Yusuke: That was careless of us. It should be no surprise that a prison has guards.
Akechi: Who knows what else could be down here...
A lot more really like Queen Lilith and her lover called Yaldabaoth.
Ryuji: Wait a sec...This is everyone's Palace, right? Not like Kamoshida's castle...Who's keepin' these people here...?
I wonder if Morgana knows the answers to remember some of the other things about Mementos so far...
Haru: Mona-chan...?
It was there, for Morgana remembers it all on who and what he was. All of it.
Morgana: ...I remember now. I've...seen this place before.
Keiko: You do?
Surprising to everyone else for they all wanted to learn more about it.
Ann: Hold on though. It wasn't open until we came here today.
Morgana: Sorry...It just a sense I'm getting. Still...it feels like I'm really close to remembering something important...
None of them were leaving Morgana behind like this after making it this far.
Ryuji: Y'know, comin' in here was what you wanted from the beginning. We just gotta keep movin' on!
Yusuke: On top of that, I'm curious to know who the ruler of this place is.
Morgana: Yeah...You're right.
All was good to keep on going to know that the people here aren't real, so it was fine until it was outside of the real world.
Haru: Wait, what about these people...?
Makoto: Leave them be. They'll be taken care of if we erase Mementos.
Futaba: Hey, it's dangerous to keep standing around here! Let's get going!
Keep on going throughout the entire prison passageway they go...For Akechi sees the gem from Jackie to be close by already to go somewhere else to find the little Persona friend of theirs.
Keiko: Crow?
Akechi: I have to look for Jackie. It's nearby in Mementos and already to come back again, but it must be in danger. Joker, I hope you can manage with the other team while I go get Jackie to join back with us.
Keiko: But...I don't mind if you're careful, both of you.
A little worried, but Akechi and Keiko held each other to be kissing on the lips to come back. For no kidnapping or to be put in danger again this time for these two go on in a different path for a little bit.
Akechi: We'll both be fine. Keiko, you're the strongest, smartest, most beautiful woman who I ever fell in love with. You can do this, to have me and friends like them. We made it this far to leave no one behind, not even Jackie. I'll come back...The charm we have to put our love together will guide both you and I back to each other, I'll find you.
With them still having it for the two to come back, for Keiko knows to be strong for Akechi as he will for her too.
Keiko; Yes, you're right, Akechi-Cun. The charm will guide you and I back together like a powerful rope tied to out wrists. We'll see you then.
For the others to cheer their friend on, Akechi smiles as he takes off to come back with Jackie safe and sound.
Akechi: I'll come back. Princess, I can fight to not let my guard down again. Best of luck to the rest of you.
There goes Akechi to locate Jackie to follow its gem to already be healed since it lives anywhere from Mementos and/or Metaverse. Running off in a hurry, Keiko and the other team do the same thing for Akechi and Jackie to catch up in no time.
Keiko: Team, let's get going. They will come back. (See you then, Akechi-Cun, and Jackie too. We can do this. Help out Morgana, save the world, steal last of the False God's Treasure to also stopping this thing, changing Shido's lackeys of their hearts, stop Queen Lilith, and help Jackie find its human master. Everything else, whatever happens then it happens from the other two enemies, maybe that's where Aika and Hitomi went to. Now it's time for others to remember us as the Phantom Thieves on what we fight for...)
The two lovers from different rooms say this part together...
Akechi and Keiko: We fight for justice!
You said it! Elsewhere to be way below more of Mementos for the others to be getting closer, as Queen Lilith watches by Yaldabaoth side 'to see his shadow form only' as he tells his lover on what their next task is to watch from Jackie to be wondering around to have its head hurting to be thinking about something; to start seeing images of the original Atsuko Sakurai, and the same thing with herself to see a strange woman in white and Jackie a lot too...Jackie and Queen Lilith are thinking alike? What could this all mean?
Yaldabaoth: So, they're all here...Lilith, my sweet. The Eternal Pearl is in the leader's grasp. You know what must be done.
Putting the pain aside of Queen Lilith to stop remembering that feeling to not care about Jackie 'for the little Persona was thinking about Atsuko the most to be in the hurry', as this selfish woman was has come this far up until now.
Lilith: (Its dead to me...I don't need it anymore, I am just me to choose this path.) Yes, lover.
Hey, this split up of Akechi to look for Jackie to already look and feel better and exploring for something in Mementos to sense something from Queen Lilith 'same with her to put her hate and love for Yaldabaoth to make him proud' no matter what it was to stop the Phantom Thieves to get the Eternal Pearl next. With that and the mess has been made all over Japan to support Shido to not stop to have darkness grow on to other people more and more; as Keiko, Morgana 'to try to remember the rest about himself in this weird place', Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru to move further down from all of this until they can find the last Treasure to steal. Akechi finally finds Jackie to be so happy to see him back to normal again and the little Persona to be like its normal self still.
Akechi: Jackie. It's good to see you again, come with me. We'll join back with the others now. Let's go, they're all waiting for us.
The little Jack Frost agrees to find Queen Lilith to really be Atsuko Sakurai to find out more about what Jackie was thinking about the enemy for it and Akechi head on down to join with the other Phantom Thieves again 'and fighting off some Shadows to be weak against these two are nothing they can't handle on their own'; as back with Keiko and the other seven headed on down below to do the same thing. A big place to explore to fight off Shadows, to sneak around some of them, get items, to Treasure chests to open up, and just in case to not make the security levels go up any higher.
Futaba: All clear here...let's go.
Soon seeing a door of a certain control panel to try hitting something from it for Keiko to give it a try.
Keiko: Oh, well, let's give it a shot. (This has to lead us to somewhere.)
Futaba: Go ahead, Joker, try pressing a button.
And she does for the lights of it turns from red to yellow on one side for the platform floors to change a lot like some type of stairs.
Ryuji: The hell?! What's goin' on?!
Ann: Calm down, Skull, it just change platforms only. See? We're fine. But it was weird for the other things to look so different.
Futaba: No traps that I'm getting...
So they were fine to proceed more of the path they needed to go to next. Try touching it again, Joker.
Keiko: Here goes nothing then...again.
From yellow to change and then hitting it to go back to being red again to have things back to normal in seconds, so it was fine.
Ann: It's back to normal now...? What was that?
Futaba: Hmmm...Like a dead end here, unless we can make that path for us to go on forward if we make it.
Yusuke: A type of security system...Will we be able to proceed if we disable it again to keep it that way?
Futaba: Let me just look into it a bit more. Do it one more time for us, Joker, then we'll start walking all over it.
And so she does it to make the same path to stay that way to move forward from here on out. As they step on the floors, for one to change from yellow into blue this time.
Ryuji: Whoa! Did we do that...?
Futaba: So, it changes when we walk on top of it...Now Joker, try making all of the ground here from yellow to blue next.
Ryuji: Dude! Is it safe to do this...?
Futaba: A start leap of faith! We can do that! Let's step from on floor to another.
Running around the floors to change all of it into blue for Keiko does on one side – then Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru to get it all down.
Keiko: Don't step on the cracks, or you'll break your mother's back. (And...done!)
From it to be blue all over to change something for them to see.
Yusuke: The device is changing into blue now...
Futaba: Aha! The connections to the floors here to match well for the colors to be doing something different. Since the spots on the floor changes colors, the device's floor changes as well. OK, Joker, try touching it again.
Now doing it again to go up for the whole floor to make their way to the top now.
Ryuji: It opened for us! We did it!
Keiko: I guess it did just that.
Futaba: It sure did! The device's not the only thing, the floors are also a path too.
Haru: That was one strange type of device...
Yusuke: A type of device to do one thing after another, so different. Then again...from every Palace of the Metaverse and Mementos we went to has been like this to get use to...
All was good...until the security alarm and a voice goes off all over the place.
Warden's Voice: They've broken through our safety net! Head to the scene at once! Don't let them escape!
More Shadow guards surrounded the Phantom Thieves to race out while fighting their way through Mementos depths. Taking on some of them, for the security levels to be going down next to make things a bit easier this time. Slice and dice them all! To also slingshot their way to another room and back down again. Then crawling back down below to get to the next floor they needed to be next 'and Safe Room to rest up as well; seeing the same old device to hit change colors, the floor, and so on to make another path to go. Man, talk about your world of a lot of Sloths type of sins from these people, huh?
Makoto: Another path to lead us where we needed go to next.
Morgana: Then let's keep on going. I'm sure we'll meet up with Crow and Jackie once we go down a bit further.
Solving more platforms to open up to getting a few more to solve, and finally...the next room was open to be a very bigger one to see a room to have freaky looking stairs to lead them even further down below to lead them to the Treasure and the False God to stop him and Queen Lilith once and for all.
Ryuji: Whoa, what the shit...?!
Yusuke: Where do these stairs lead us?
It was really hard to say for Keiko to throw a small rock down below to not end on how far it goes down to the very end, to also be very deep to leave an echo.
Futaba: Hello?! Hehehe...
A little joke there that Futaba had to do.
Morgana: Hmm...I never excepted there would be this much here...But the Treasure's presence is getting stronger. We're going in the right direction for sure.
Keiko: Then we'll see more for ourselves once we go down these stairs to be a very long path. (No turning back now.) It's time we get going, we'll see Jackie and Akechi down there real soon. Let's go, team.
Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru: Right!
Morgana: I'll drive us down there to be much faster and easier for us, so we won't fall down.
Thanks to Morgana in his car form, they all go own down. Keiko sings a song from another one done by 'Lyn – Dark Sun'.
Keiko 'singing': They say a choice
In the darkest hour
Is the way we find out
What we are made of
But if I chose
As a blind man would
Only hearing voices
Inside my head
Can I say
It was right
To snuff out
Every foe
I could find
What about me?
Dark Sun
Whenever you rise
Day turns
To night
Dark Sun
Your rays paralyze
The beating wing in flight
Dreamers in mid-stride
Dark Sun
Whenever you shine
Eyes turn
To stone
Dark Sun
The fate of the blind
And now I'm all alone
In my starless mind
And now the wind
Blows against my stride
And I'm losing ground to
Enemies on all sides
Am I the prey
That was hunter once
Could it be my last day
(Could) they strike me down?
Can I say
You were wrong
I was right
Had to slay
Every stray
Thug in my sight
Dark Sun
Whatever you touch
Blisters
And cracks
Dark Sun
You're hope turned to dust
The longing for the crash
Longing to be ash
Dark Sun
Whenever you shine
Eyes turn
To stone
Dark Sun
The fate of the blind
And now I'm all alone
In my starless mind
Do you know me?
Would you judge me?
I'm lost
But I can't admit
Defeat
Ain't an option
Please
Someone help
Dark Sun
You shone like a threat
Waiting
To strike
Dark Sun
But somehow you fed
My hunger for a life
Not ruled by your night
Dark Sun
Whatever you shine
Eyes turn
Away
Dark Sun
What choices have I
But live another day
Live another day
Live one more day
Arriving down to move on by foot the rest of the way on where they needed to go to next. Then arriving into a different prison type of cell room, for the others were shock to see some bad familiar faces again...
Ann: What?! You're...?!
Ryuji: K-Kamoshida?!
Yep, Kamoshida Shadow was one of the people in the group...But what was going on here? And a few other Shadows from Madarame, Junya, and Shido too.
Yusuke: Sensei-?! No...Madarame...
Makoto: Kaneshiro's over there.
Keiko: But there's no...
Seeing that Tohru did have a change of heart for her Shadow to accept her bad deeds for a better path now.
Morgana: Joker, remember we changed Tohru's heart. So for her to be here is unlikely.
Keiko: I see. (Good, there's one good part from one small type of villain to be on our side now.)
So minus Tohru's Shadow, all but Okumura were all here since he was sadly murdered.
Futaba: Is President Okumura here too...?!
Haru: Father isn't around anymore...
Futaba: ….Sorry.
Sad to be thinking about for Haru to lose her father, to still go on living for him when he wasn't insane from back then.
Haru: No, it's OK. More importantly, look here.
Also in the other jail cells to be in chains on their ankles was also Shido Shadow as well now joining with the group.
Makoto: Masayoshi Shido...!
Keiko: I didn't think he would show up with our other enemies like this.
Ryuji: The hell's goin' on?! The guys shoulda had a change of heart from their Palaces disappearin'!
Yeah, they should've and yet it didn't happen...
Suguru Shadow: Mm, your bod's as as always. C'mon, come closer.
Still the same old creepy gym teacher to say such things to Ann to get her mad.
Ann: You creep...!
But to be playing around in a bad situation he and the others were all in. He wasn't the only ones, others were like this.
Suguru Shadow: Hmph...I'm joking. I don't want any more trouble. I finally get to live without having to think for myself now.
Madarame Shadow: I mistakenly thought myself to be talented...but now I think I'm a feel for wanting too much.
Junya Shadow: It's no wonder people who can't take a hint get yelled at...I'm done actin' like a big shot. Who cares if I'm stupid? It's not like you get punished for bein' dumb. Nobody needs to strive to be more than they really are.
The Shadows are all sad and such to not be life threatening anymore...
Yusuke: These people seem completely different than they were before...
Keiko: Much different, yes.
Makoto: I don't think it's because they had a change of heart though...
Morgana: Wait...Have they chosen a life of captivity after they lost their distorted desires...?
Could be...For others, even the other three enemies but Tohru's Shadow, and the same thing with Shido Shadow as well 'the most mess up person of them all'.
Shido Shadow: Hitachi's really missing out on all of this. And unfortunately, Okumura isn't here with us. Nothing can be done for the dead...I'm sorry.
Haru: ….Yes, I know. Thank you for the details. Now if you don't mind, what in the world is this place?
Shido Shadow: It's supposedly called the "Prison of Regression."
Well, that was something entirely new...sort of.
Futaba: Regression...?
Shido Shadow: More importantly, does this look like captivity to you? Why, it's the exact opposite. The utmost freedom is available to anyone who desires are here. This is the freedom to not make decisions...The release from having to think for yourself. It is far more marvelous the the country I wished to create...
Like something you cannot control which traps people's shadows from within?
Haru: Release from having to think...? But that's...
Shido Shadow: However, there are some fools who cannot stay put in this place. In other words, they are escaped convicts...Of course, I'm talking about our past selves. Such people are segregated from this peaceful world and locked away in their own Palace.
That all makes sense now.
Makoto: So those are the Palace rulers...
A lot to be changed for them to have something far worse from it to have them all jailed up like this, for better or for worse.
Suguru Shadow: I really gotta thank you for changin' my heart. I got to come back here, after all.
Ryuji: We...sent 'em back here...?
From changing someone's heart to stopping their bad Shadows selves, it all turns out like this mess in the end? I cannot tell if it's a good, bad, or getting worse kind of thing.
Keiko: But we didn't know it will turn out this way! (We all should've known...)
Yusuke: I don't understand...Just what have we been doing by using their cognitive world...?
Keiko: We're trying to do what's right to reform society is all...Aren't we?
A lot to be freaking out about, not at a time like this!
Futaba: Get a hold of yourself, Inari!
Yusuke: Yes, you're right...I'm sorry...
Makoto: None of us didn't know! So it's none of our faults, it was just an accident. And having the freedom to not make your own decisions only means that someone else is controlling you! All of you! Tell me. Who is the ruler here? Who made all of this...?
Keiko: Is this Queen Lilith's doing? (And I know she's not working alone, so is her true love. The last False God. I don't think False Tsuba or Sith aren't involved in this one.)
Yes, whoever was behind it all made some of these bad guys do all of this mess up thing since this pass year.
Shido Shadow: What an odd question to ask. It should be obvious: every member of the general public. Lilith put them up to it to get what she wants in return, to the real mastermind in control of all of this. Haven't you learned anything in school? The collective ruler of a democratic country is its people.
Kind of true since it's like that in the real world now a days for others to fix for themselves, but in this world was much different...
Ryuji: D-Don't lie outta your ass like that! I mean, there was a guard here earlier! That means someone's gotta be lookin' out for you guys, right?
Shido Shadow: You may be right. We are the ones "looking out" upon everyone else.
Ann: No...
It was fate for the fallen ones to end like this to get worse in the real world for Shido's men to make all of this happen to get ten times worse.
Makoto: So the ones who least want the prison to be tampered with...are the prisoners themselves...?
Ryuji: It don't matter what this guy's talkin' about...We're gonna erase all of Mementos anyways! C'mon, let's keep goin'! Mona! The Treasure's in the deepest part, right?!
They were getting much closer...As Jackie leads Akechi to the area as well to take some time with them, the other Phantom Thieves were on their way there. As Morgana was trying to think about it, he was confused.
Futaba: Mona...?
Looking around the room, Morgana's memories were all coming back to him more and more.
Morgana: I do remember this place...I saw the humans in here...and realized I looked different than them for some reason...Right! That's when I started to think I wanted to turn into a human!
Keiko: So that's why! (I knew Morgana was different...But I never thought it would turn out like this.)
No one didn't see this part coming, huh?
Makoto: Is that why you thought you would regain your true form if we destroyed Mementos?
It might be...?
Morgana: Sorry...I'm still missing a lot of my memories...But I know I started randomly checking a bunch of Palaces...Then my next memory is about that bastard Kamoshida's.
Keiko: I see...What else can you remember, Mona...?
Trying a bit harder on Morgana's end...That's when, something hits him again.
Morgana: ...Yeah. I'm starting to remember more...
But then another Shadow guard appears to stop the Phantom Thieves again for being in this type of room for so long.
Guard: What are you doing here?
That'll have to wait for later...Right now, they all needed to keep on going and fighting against three of them this time.
Ann: Guards again?! And there are more of them this time!
Morgana: Dammit...We got careless!
Makoto: Let's run! We'll think more later!
Time to make a run for it to fight a little instead to make their escape.
Guard: I've discovered some escaped inmates! Catch them at once!
Outrunning the rest to take out some of the Shadows who try to stop the Phantom Thieves, only got themselves a total beat down. This fight was nothing and for Morgana to be remembering something big about himself to get closer to the truth so far; for a Warden Shadow of the place tries to stop them next...Only for Morgana to take it out with two of his new abilities.
Morgana: I got this one...Mercurius, blow them away! With my new Persona and my new attack! Blaze of Rage!
These Shadows have been cut and defeated by Morgana and Mercurius' teamwork in seconds! Hitting some device next to get an item coming out it.
Makoto: I wonder what this can be use for...?
Ryuji: Who knows! Maybe it might come in handy for us.
They use it on another device to make a path from red, to yellow, and then turning it into blue for a another panel to open up. Fighting a bit more with Haru and Makoto's Showtime move was done. Of them in a wrestling ring for others to cheer them on.
Haru: Pardon me.
Laughing a glee and ready to kick some ass.
Makoto: Let's do this...!
The bell rings to being to fight.
Haru: Show time!
From a elbow hit from Makoto, Haru's jumping kick, and another Makoto move with a chair hit to make the screen to break.
Makoto: This is gonna hurt!
Ouch! Nice one.
Haru: Oh dear.
Now moving from one side of the ring for the two girls to finish the enemy off.
Makoto: Noir!
Haru: Leave it to me! Ready...! Set...
Jumping in the air to hitting the Shadow with both of their elbows to make the final hit count.
Makoto and Haru: Double Takedown!
Now that was a hit!
Haru: Well done.
Makoto: Alright.
Moving on now. From getting another pathway to open up and entering into a light up red room in the dark-type of thing. Still freaky to be in as always since they came here.
Keiko: This might give people nightmares to have trouble sleeping in the dark.
The more they keep going down, the deeper the path stairs of Mementos will take them there to where they needed to be.
Ann: Seriously?! How does this place go down to have no end?
Makoto: We're so far underground at this point...
Yusuke: I only hope we won't fall into a giant pool of lava down there.
Nope, there's no lava but something far more to be darkness and brighten things up with weird colors.
Ryuji: Still, we gotta keep going!
As Morgana turns into a car again to driving all the way down there to continue on, as Akechi and Jackie were getting somewhere way down below to follow a huge buried hole that was made.
Akechi: I don't know who did this, Jackie, but it's the only way we can use this path to find the others.
A lot to be going on from one end to another...For them and the Phantom Thieves to get further down below still. And in this room – Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru come across something else.
Haru: Guys, look. Doesn't that cell seem...different from the others?
A big door to be bigger than the rest of them made of steel to be well guarded and locked up tightly from the looks of it.
Makoto: Wait...Could this be that Quarantine Cell?
Keiko: Whoever's in there...I sense very bad things about this one.
Yusuke: Supposedly the most sinful, most dangerous inmate is held within...
What could it be...? Well, Morgana knows already to walk up to it for a better look.
Morgana: This...This place smells familiar for some reason...
Haru: Mona-chan...?
Keiko: Another memory again?
Seems like it...and remember the Blood of Oath story to describe Atsuko's character? Well, this was one of them to have something to do with Morgana the most and the Queen Lilith.
Morgana: ….There's no mistake. This is it. I...was born here. The Blood of Oath made by the original author Atsuko Sakurai, it's all true that has something to do with me. About a key to keep something that she loves away to try not getting outside of the world.
Yeah, that kind of thing to all come together to shock the others about it. Morgana, Atsuko Sakurai/Queen Lilith, Jackie, Yaldabaoth type of character as a False God, the Eternal Pearl, Loki, and Mementos from the Blood of Oath story book. A children's book? More like a total nightmare for all of them to be very real.
Haru: Born...? Inside the prison?
Keiko: Wait...It has something to do with the Blood of Oath story book. It's all true! What Aika and Hitomi were looking up on, this must be it. (But Morgana a criminal? No!)
Weird how it all turn out like this.
Ann: Wait, then are YOU the dangerous inmate?!
Morgana: No...the inmate wasn't me...But I remember this place...And yes, Joker, the story of Atsuko's is all true. She wrote the book to talk about this world being real to become something she's not during World War 2 and the real Junko Sakurai was killed; and which has something to do with me, and for Jackie too...I don't know the full detail just yet. But I know that someone created me here...To guide all of you...
Hmmm...This is odd to be hearing about this part, this person can't be trusted.
Haru: Guide...? And who is this someone...?
Morgana: Ngh...I can't remember...Damn it...I'm so close...but my memory is too foggy...
All of this was getting them somewhere very important.
Keiko: Then we're getting close...I'm glad you're not a criminal, Mona, but this person who's guiding us is a trap by Queen Lilith and her lover I bet.
Ryuji: Y'know, hearin' all this just makes me wanna know what's inside.
Well, they better hurry for more Shadow guards were coming again.
Guard: We found them! The escapees are in front of the isolated cell! Alert! Alert! Capture them at once!
More of them to put a stop them to keep on going forward to the next room.
Keiko: It's Persona using time...Arsene, back me up!
The others join with their leader to do the same thing like she was...An all out duo attack!
Morgana: This is for...my other self! Mercurius!
Ryuji: Shock them 'til you drop them! Seiten Taisei!
Ann: Let's burn them up, Hecate!
Yusuke: Freeze them in water, Susano-o!
Makoto: Time to burn some rubber! Anat!
Futaba: Beat them all up! Prometheus!
Haru: Blood in beauties of doom, Astarte!
They weren't the only ones, Jackie takes the rest of them out to be frozen up, and the little Persona and Akechi with Robin Hood stop the other Shadows.
Akechi: Aim high, Robin Hood! Jackie! Whatever you do, don't stop running! (Wait for me, Keiko! We'll be there soon...!)
They seem to be doing well, same with Keiko and the other Phantom Thief members to finish the job to keep on going.
Makoto: This place seems to be under high alert now. We should keep going. If Crow found Jackie by now, they're probably doing the same thing we all are.
Keiko: I feel them...They're fighting hard and we'll meet up with us soon as a speak. (I'm glad you two are safe.)
Sounds like a very good idea to do...
Yusuke: Given how important this cell appears to be, the depths of Mementos must be near. Mona's memories may return if we continue on...
Morgana: Yeah...
Ryuji: So, we're finally gettin' close to the public's Treasure, huh?
A lot more than just doing that for Morgana as promised...
Morgana: Now that I think about it, it make sense Mementos would connect to some place like underneath Shibuya. Everyone crams themselves into packed underground boxes day after day without any complaints...From my standpoint, those are the true inmates of Mementos. It's no surprise the places are connected.
A lot more to be weird too for it was all underground like Mementos from down below Shibuya area.
Makoto: You know, the voices of the public may have led the Phantom Thieves on more than any criminal...
Ryuji: Seriously! Let's hurry up and steal that Treasure so we can crush Mementos!
Haru: We truly are reforming society...Let's go!
Keiko: And no matter who or what tries to stop us, we'll fight back. Come on.
Keep on going for the eight Phantom Thieves don't stop until the Treasure is found to steal, reunite with Akechi and Jackie, stop Queen Lilith and her lover to end here today on Christmas Eve to save all worlds before the change happens by New Year's Day. From stopping some other Shadows, sneaking around others for the security systems to go down, get some more items, treasure chests to open up, and taking a little break carefully at a time in some of the Safe Rooms. As well as solving puzzles in this room to get to the next area to go down more and more.
Futaba: A lot of these to be solved, but I'm sure we can figure something out.
Using another disc to take out of one thing to use it on the other door they needed to get it open, not a problem this time. Besides one of the platform light up puzzles, a few more for Keiko and her friends helping her out to get the rest of it done in no time...With another door wide open for them, time to go down further.
Yusuke: It's been done.
Ann: Now we can go to the other room at last!
Haru: Nicely done, Joker!
Well, she wasn't alone on this one...
Keiko: Don't thank just me, you guys...No, we've done it together. For what Crow's doing to finding Jackie for us to meet up as promised, and for others to work so hard on our finally mission to steal this type of Treasure to also save our world...For us to be the Phantom Thieves to end like this, was the best thing ever to have such wonderful friends you all are to me. Thank you. Everyone else, same to those who are also part of the Phantom Thieves to make it this far.
From friends, true love 'with others too', powers, dreams, and such to become a group like this.
Ryuji: From fallin' for someone like you at first to find real love for me, I'm glad we became friends, leader.
Ann: For me to stand up for myself and Shiho to tell Ryuji how I really feel...It's all thanks to you, Keiko.
Yusuke: All of this to save me from Madarame for almost taken all of my art work, but I did realize a lot without your help, Ms. Keiko. From once my love for you, but more with Ms. Makoto to do more of painting from my heart.
Makoto: Even for me to get out more to fall in love with Yusuke...Keiko-Chan, you've done a lot for me to follow my goal to also follow my dream to also bringing real justice. That and saving Sis's life. Thank you.
Futaba: I would be a shut out to the world forever without you by my side, Big Sis. Learning about love even with Mishima-Chan a lot, other things we have in mind, completing the list, getting out more, and such...With Aika, Hitomi, Kiwa, Daisuke, and Tohru on our side. I'm glad you all changed my heart to be part of the team!
Haru: And without saving Sugimura-Chan's life with a change of heart to dating him normally to also follow my own dream, I don't know what I've done without all of you. With my sister about to be born and Ms. Hitachi as my step mother. And you the most, Keiko-Chan, I'm glad I'm your best friend.
Hey, let's not forget about what Morgana had to say as well...But first - Same with Akechi to be free, make friends, fell in love with Keiko, to stopping Shido and facing against this father to freeing himself to still be human.
Akechi: (From friends, being myself, avenging my mother from Shido, and falling in love with Keiko who understands me to stop my darker self of a Shadow named Loki...It all comes down to who I truly was to not be not the best hero for others to look up on me, just what I do to be a good thing. And for that, I think I've decided on what I wanted to do after this is all over.)
Oh, right! And what does Morgana had to say?
Morgana: Everyone...Madame Keiko...Lady Ann...I don't know what else I can say except this...You've helped out a lot to get me this far, we've been a team, done so much good, make up the rights for others, made other friends, help you all get stronger, and get all seven gems to form the pearl to stop our main enemy as well, two of them. I know I'll find out more about myself after this is all over with and Jackie will be back with someone who it knows of a lot. So, thanks for showing me a great life in your world and wanted to be human so badly. Whatever happen to the Metropolis 12 group, we'll catch up to them real soon. And the other two enemies, Mementos will be gone soon to trap them for good. Now, let's get the last Treasure and stop Queen Lilith and the False God, together.
Keiko: Of course, Morgana. All right, team, final mission. Let's move out.
It was time to slingshot across to the other side to sliding down stairs to it, and driving the rest of the way there. From seeing down below them a bit more...it was huge! For the Treasure, of everyone's Treasure should be in there for Morgana to sense out right away; as they all run down on a spine type of freaky stairs to get inside of some weird looking tall building and getting inside to climb down further, they've finally made to the location at long last. Seeing it up close – it looked like a one middle type of giant generator to be lighting up things all over the walls to be brightly red to all be prison cells, two statues hands to be standing from left and right side of the room, and some blood veins coursing all over from the top. With lights shooting out of there, it was hard to tell what it was. The eight of the Phantom Thieves got there first before Akechi and Jackie can join them in a bit.
Ryuji: The hell...?!
There was some type of weird item there, but not sign of Queen Lilith or her boyfriend to be found...what gives?
Yusuke: Look at how many there are...Are these all prison cell?
Keiko: I think so... (But where's Queen Lilith and her lover? The seventh and last False God...)
Futaba: And...what's that thing in the middle?
It kind of a weird looking type of clock to be running on it's own, now that's not normal looking at all.
Ann: Whatever it is, it looks disgustingly grand...
Yusuke: There are no other passages leading out of this room. It appears this is our final destination...the depths of Mementos.
Haru: In that case, is the Treasure of Mementos somewhere in here?
There's no other way around it, so yes...
Keiko: I think we're looking at it...I know this is the Treasure for me to sense it from here, is that thing.
So it wasn't a normal looking machine at all, it was alive.
Morgana: I think you're right...I've never been here...but I can sense it too. There's no mistaking that presence. If we get of it...
Feeling scared, Morgana shakes his head to not back down at all but to go on in.
Keiko: Then it'll all be gone, right Mona?
Morgana: That's right, Joker...If we get rid of it, the public should come to its senses!
They have to do this and then to deal with two more enemies after stealing this type of odd looking Treasure.
Yusuke: But something this large will be impossible to carry out of here.
Ryuji: We just gotta make it disappear, right? If we can't move it, then we'll just hafta destroy it!
Morgana: Yeah...That will work.
Then it settles without holding anything back if they must destroy it.
Ann: Once we do that, the entire Metaverse is going to disappear, right? This is finally it...
Soon...the Treasure lights up differently for them to see to change to red lights now.
Futaba: Oh, I guess it's no surprise we've been discovered. That thing isn't gonna sit back and let itself get destroyed.
Yusuke: Even the inmates are starting to liven up. How eerie...Are they planning something?
It is alive to be acting very not normal looking, right...?
Ryuji: That must mean this thing 's gotta be the Treasure. They saved us the trouble of checkin'!
All seems good for them to get it, but not really to see and feel out something to be very bad. For Makoto was the first to remember something for the whole place started to glow up red all over this big room.
Makoto: ...Hold on. Something's off. Shido said the masses are allowing themselves to be held captive here...Could they truly be operating this gigantic system that eliminates intruders on its own! The prison guards and soldiers were very organized too...
Keiko: Queen, what are you saying...?
Yusuke: Are you trying to say that someone else rules this place? Is it not the public or Queen Lilith?
Soon, they all hear someone laughing...For it was coming from the machine itself not only be alive, but it was also talking...
Ann: What was that?!
Jackie senses it to hurry for both the Persona and Akechi try getting there right away.
Keiko: It came from this Treasure!
Ryuji: We don't have time to worry about that! Leave it for later!
Morgana: All right, guys! We better not lose now! Let's hurry up and destroy this thing! Everyone...give it your all!
It's time to go all out...The Phantom Thieves vs. the Unknown...Here we go I guess.
Futaba: All right, let's do this!
Tayla: It's all eight members of the Phantom Thieves vs. ah...something unknown...? Begin, I guess o not die like this.
The eight members give it there all to go all over this thing to give it everything they have against it – for Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru don't hold anything back with their attacks to fire at the big Treasure.
Keiko: Double Daggers of Darkness!
Morgana: Blaze of Rage!
Ryuji: Lighting Flash Attack!
Ann: Flame Shooter!
Yusuke: Frozen Waves!
Makoto: Viper Sting!
Futaba: Web Cage!
Haru: Petals of Doom!
Hitting it to get hurt a lot only to move away from its laser blast attacks to unleash at the Phantom Thieves to all duck, moving away, take cover, and shielded 'with Futaba's help' to be saved from this type of attack to almost try to burn and cut them down, but they've all failed. All seems to be going well, until...someone shouted down at them.
?: Stop! Stop it!
?: Don't touch the Holy Grail!
For a male and female shadows in their jail cells to all be saying that...Huh? The machine was the Holy Grail itself?!
Futaba: Holy Grail...?
And because of everyone was praying to it, the Holy Grail completely heals back up to have more power coursing through its veins to be pumping to look like red blood.
Keiko: It healed! From the people's prayers...! This is not good!
Futaba: What was that?! Don't tell me...Are the inmates giving in their strength...?!
From the sounds it, they all were for this thing to get stronger.
Ryuji: Dammit! This is never gonna end!
Yusuke: It seems hopeless if there are this many inmates supporting it...
It soon speaks up to the Phantom Thieves to be very real to say something to all of them. From there, Queen Lilith flies from above to soon make her entrance and for her to watch the rest go down.
?: You fools. Human, yes wishing to eradicate the desires of humanity...
Ann: Who's that?!
No doubt for Keiko to sense it for her to find out who was talking...
Keiko: Wait...this Holy Grail's talking?!
?: Repent.
Makoto: Joker, are you saying...? The Treasure's talking?!
Keiko: Call me crazy, but it is to sense its power to get twice as strong than ever before!
?: I am revealed as the granter of dreams for all who behold me...A being most commonly known as the Holy Grail...
Haru: The Holy Grail...
We all know what the Holy Grail was about...Right?
Tayla: Persona # 176 – Holy Grail
The Holy Grail is a treasure that serves as an important motif in Arthurian literature. Different traditions describe it as a cup, dish or stone with miraculous powers that provide happiness, eternal youth or sustenance in infinite abundance, often in the custody of the Fisher King. The term "holy grail" is often used to denote an elusive object or goal that is sought after for its great significance. A "grail", wondrous but not explicitly holy, first appears in Perceval, le Conte du Graal, an unfinished romance written by Chrétien de Troyes around 1190. Here, Chrétien's story attracted many continuators, translators and interpreters in the later 12th and early 13th centuries, including Wolfram von Eschenbach, who perceived the Grail as a stone. In the late 12th century, Robert de Boron wrote in Joseph d'Arimathie that the Grail was Jesus's vessel from the Last Supper, which Joseph of Arimathea used to catch Christ's blood at the crucifixion. Thereafter, the Holy Grail became interwoven with the legend of the Holy Chalice, the Last Supper cup, a theme continued in works such as the Vulgate Cycle, the Post-Vulgate Cycle, and Le Morte d'Arthur.
I guess we'll call it the Holy Grail for the time being...
Holy Grail: The Prison of Regression is representative of the collective desires of humanity. They wish to chained down, surrender their cognition, and neglect the world around them...These feeble mind common folk will make your "social reform" all for naught. The share heart of the masses has fallen into a excess of indolence and transformed into a prison.
From all of the cognitions and shadows to be worshiping this type of a Holy Grail all over the room for so much people were talking to loving this thing.
Ryuji: Dammit...they're worshippin' that thing!
Keiko: No! If you're a true Holy Grail, then why are letting them all suffer this way by lying to get power this way?! It's just wrong!
Holy Grail: Thus...the only suitable end for them is to perish within the prison they wished for themselves.
Lighting up for the Holy Grail was ready for an all out attack to unleash on the Phantom Thieves to be seeing this.
Morgana: Get ready! Here it comes!
Ryuji: Hell yeah!
Being stronger this time, for Keiko tries to change the Holy Grail's heart to give it a try to weaken it and then destroy it for good.
Futaba: Damn that thing...Let's break it for sure this time! Joker!
Keiko: If we can't take the Treasure, then we'll weaken it in order to crushing it next. Flaming Heart!
Aiming high to do an all out attack next for Futaba to raise their attacks skills up...Keiko's powers back fires to get destroyed in seconds! Huh? But it wasn't the Holy Grail's doing at all. It wasn't alone to have some help from none other than Queen Lilith to be arriving at the battlefield next to has been waiting for their arrival.
Ann: You missed!
Makoto: No...This thing has help, it's Queen Lilith herself!
This wasn't good at all.
Holy Grail: You've made it just in time, Lilith, my sweet. I knew you'll never let me down one bit.
Lilith: I never go back on my word, honey. Nice to see you all again, Phantom Thieves. Did you miss me?
Like they'll lose to the likes of this monster and something with it.
Yusuke: Not you again...
Futaba: If you think you can help this thing out to try making it stronger against us, we won't back down!
Haru: What do you want?
Lilith: What else...? For the pearl of course. Well, that and you guys to be very useful for my master. Also, he has a lot more within him than the looks, watch and learn.
I don't like where this was going...using her own powers from Queen Lilith to release to power up the Holy Grail from the lights on its side to change from blue into purple all over, something happens to it. From healing and the color changing for people to chant to it a lot and Queen Lilith's love...Huh?! It changes color all over from pale into solid gold to be glowing with power all over this thing!
Futaba: It's healed and changed...No! This is bad! We can't stop it if the people are chanting this Holy Grail! No fair! That's cheating!
For the others to tell the Phantom Thieves to say in the group of getting out the place to leave the Holy Grail alone, this was really bad.
Keiko: No...Stop...! Please stop...! You're all being lied to!
Morgana: If this is really how people feel, there's no way we'll be able to steal their hearts...Damn you, Lilith! We didn't come here for nothing...
Haru: This is horrible...
It just won't end. They kept on saying - "Get out of here." Over and over again.
Lilith: I didn't do anything, they just did it on their own is all. Also, I need something from all of you...more importantly – Keiko and Morgana, you two are what we needed the most with the Eternal Pearl. Give it here!
As powerful as she was to use her powers to electrocutes them all in seconds...same with Jackie and Akechi to almost reaching to the room a bit too late.
Akechi: Ah! Jackie...! We can't get out...!
With them stuck, the other fight are trapped the most for Keiko use the Eternal Pearl to save them all from Lilith's magic.
Keiko: Noooo! Shut up! We won't lose!
It worked, but not for long!
Holy Grail: You imbeciles are intoxicated by an undesired "justice"...This is the will of the children of man who have fallen into sloth. My shine is proof of that they desire my existence, as my love for Lilith too. As long as humanity yearns for me, I shall never perish...
From all of this to be wrong for others to want this mess, to get them and the pearl one way or another for Lilith and the Holy Grail's love was very strong.
Makoto: Is this really what everyone wants...? To stop thinking and be guided by the Holy Grail...? And Lilith's lust over this monstrous being?
Keiko: This isn't love, it's all lies! Don't let them fool you, guys!
Makoto: Yes...It's so frustrating it makes me want to cry...But I...I will never agree like you said, Joker!
None of them will no matter how sad and scary this has turn out to be.
Morgana: The humans I look up to aren't like that...no matter how painful reality is, it's all over if you don't try to change how things are! I'm not the only one who believes that. Everyone here agrees...We don't want to turn back into the people we used to be! That's why we risked our lives coming here!
Not to give up against Holy Grail or Queen Lilith like this.
Haru: Mona-Chan...
Ann: He's right!
Well, the two enemies aren't going to give up either.
Holy Grail: Humanity already wishes for their distortions to be actualized. I am merely the being that will ultimately grant those wishes...if it wasn't for this woman who set me free from her heart and suffering to be changed, I wouldn't be like this centuries later. Now, it's the time I refrain my place in this world with Lilith by my side who understands me so much, and being to encroach upon reality itself.
Beginning to glow up for Lilith to see a miracle happening, the others didn't like where this was going at all to not give up.
Ryuji: That's a load of shit!
Makoto: Encroach...? What's is it gonna do...?!
Lilith: Oh Phantom Thieves...don't blank.
Something big was happening...
Ann: Hey, this doesn't look good...!
Futaba: I got a bad feeling about this...
Something was powering up from within the Holy Grail for Queen Lilith to watch the first half of his powers to begin.
Yusuke: Mona! What should we do?!
Keiko: I don't think we can get out of this one...!
Looks like Morgana already knows who the Holy Grail really was the most besides Lilith's true identity. How is that...?
Morgana: ….I don't know what you are, but you can't keep arbitrarily deciding all this on your own or with your girlfriend's help. Humans are not all stupid like you say they are!
Like either of the two cared at all.
Holy Grail: Hmph. Indolent, foolish humans. You shall offer your hearts to me...Lilith, if I may.
Lilith: Only if I get the pearl with a few people to keep for a bit...Go right ahead.
The Holy Grail fires a powerful beam blast to hit all the Phantom Thieves to see the laser beam to shine brightly. Oh, no! Are they all dead?!
Holy Grail: Now, the time for the fusion has come...Yes, Lilith, make sure the pearl is mine when you get it.
With the eight still standing and weak and they were unable to fight back now...
Yusuke: Hey, the ground's...!
Soon to be lighting up, to then disappearing as well.
Haru: It's vanishing...?!
Ryuji: Hell no...!
Keiko: Get back!
Too late, they all get beamed with no escape. What are they planning to do with the Phantom Thieves next? In the flash of light...It was there that Morgana hears a voice from some mysterious girl like Keiko has. Huh? And the butterfly as well who also appeared in front of Kiwa, Daisuke, Tohru, Aika, and Hitomi.
Unknown Girl: Mor...gana...
Morgana: Huh?! Who's that?!
Unknown Girl: You...are...my...
He gets shock on what this person was saying to Morgana to be left speechless.
Morgana: N-No way...! ….I see...So that's how it was...I remember everything now...
What was going on...? As everything screams in terror...they soon wake up to have normal clothes again to be...back in the real world of Shibuya, Japan in their normal clothes? What?! For Keiko to notice it first before Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru to see it as well from falling down to getting back up again.
Keiko: Huh...? We're back in the real world...? What's going on here?
Whatever's about to happen next wasn't going to be good at all for Queen Lilith to be making her next move to be laughing all about her and Holy Grail's victory so far. What was that giant thing...Was it this Yaldabaoth thing or what? Was he the final False God. And where was Akechi and Jackie at? They were somewhere to not be killed or kidnapped 'to be a good thing', but Keiko and the others needed to find them next and then finding out on what they needed to do next...even Morgana's memories on who he really is.
