Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #144 - Victory and another new Arcana
From the world to be saved, finally stopping Yaldabaoth, Atsuko also finally having peace to be over, restoring the Eternal Pearl, Mementos and the Metaverse are all gone now, the Treasure to be taken back, Morgana leaving to get back the Velvet Room with Igor and Lava; and of course the mission for the Phantom Thieves has been completed to be their last to have their normal clothes back on. No more Jackie, the pearl, Personas, Shadows, power, or other worlds. With Aika and Hitomi having their powers gone...I think. For them, Daisuke, and Tohru leave somewhere for Kasumi was confused on their whereabouts.
Kasumi: Kiwa? Is it all over?
Kiwa: Your powers are probably gone now like Iwamura, Kanakubo, and the others. For now, we have to get going. But I can tell you what's been going on with us if you want to be part of it that is.
Kasumi: Part of what?
Whatever happens to them next, well...Again, that's for way later on. Back with the others - for Keiko, Akechi, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru to be heroes to remember the Phantom Thieves to admire them more and more this time as heroes, but not to be around anymore for the world needed to do things on their own from here on out...at least the darkness is finally gone to shine on a brand new day to be kind of sad but all good.
Ann: Morgana...
Futaba: Mona...
Keiko: No...First Atsuko and now Morgana are all gone...MORGANA!
Keiko falls to the ground crying for the others to worry about her.
Akechi: Keiko! It's okay, Morgana knew this would happen. Don't blame yourself. And Atsuko didn't how much longer to live, her other self needed to be stopped. Please understand.
Keiko: But why?! It was hard enough to see Atsuko go to love Yaldabaoth with all of her heart to be broken, and Morgana...He would've stayed with us...If I had another wish to make, I would've make it happen...Akechi, why...?
Being held in her lovers arms to let it all out to be a sad end to still be good they've save the world and all. As Haru looked at her cell phone first, seeing that the Meta-Nav was gone for good, it was really over then.
Haru: The Meta-Nav...It's gone...Mementos must have disappeared too...
Futaba: We can't see Mona anymore...can we, Big Sis?
Keiko: I don't know...
It was really hard to say right now to be true or not.
Futaba: It's fine. I already know the answer.
Ryuji: ...What're you all so gloomy for. Mona would laugh at us for it...
Yusuke: That reminds me, what about the public? Were we able to change their hearts?
Probably, otherwise they would've not do all of this for nothing, right...? it was hard to be cheering up right now, but that was their main goal all along.
Akechi: It must've worked...
Seems like everything was back to normal again to have people walking around to be business and such to go places and talk about their lives all over the place, even on Christmas Eve to have some miracles to happen.
Dressed-up Woman: I'm gonna be late for my date...
Poor-Looking Young Man: All alone on Christmas, huh...
Yep, it all seems that way.
Ann: It's kinda hard to tell...
The good news was for others to see the true side of Shido to not vote for as the prime minster at all, so there was what luck there so far.
Middle-aged Man in a Suit: Aren't we going into the new year without a prime minister? Will this country be all right?
Young Man in a Suit: But there's no way we're getting Shido. There are tons of shady rumors about him, you know?
One miracle at a time, I guess.
Haru: I wonder how things will go...I hope they go well...
Makoto: Let's believe in the adults. Sis promised us, after all.
Their job to finally be done to leave the rest to Sae and the good adults to take care of the rest now.
Ryuji: From here on out's the prosecutor's job, huh...
Akechi: It has to be this way, we all knew about this.
Yusuke: If we can't enter the Metaverse, that means we've been relieved of being Phantom Thieves.
Keiko: A promise is a promise after all for Sae and...Well, a little from bit Akechi from a while back...I'm sure Aika and Hitomi knew about this too. For them, Kiwa, Daisuke, and Tohru did their jobs until the very end; I'm also sure Kasumi sense it out already to be the same like me, Kiwa, and Akechi still have.
This part only made Akechi's smile when Keiko said it. And yeah, the others will be just fine...Whatever it is they're doing right now.
Akechi: It's fine, I decided on what's right and I wanted to help you all out in the end. And the others along with Yoshizawa, I believe the nightmare's finally over.
And from here on out now to be a thing and not happening anymore – no more Joker, Mona, Crow, Skull, Panther, Fox, Queen, Oracle, Noir, Templar, Jester, and whoever Kasumi was to do their jobs as Team Drago of the Phantom Thief of Hearts now.
Haru: It still feels a bit sad...
They'll pull through the way they always have, even for Ryuji to say the first thing to come out of his mouth.
Ryuji: What'd I just say? We gotta stop bein' so gloomy! Otherwise Aika won't shut up and Hitomi will keep lecturing us. Think about that insane ass we just kicked!
A big one at that.
Akechi: I wouldn't think the seventh False God had an ass.
Yusuke: Heh, you're right...We should be celebrating with a victory toast.
Maybe partying with drinks and snacks, but not drinking underage.
Ann: Well, we're still high schoolers, so we can't really drink a real toast...
Thinking of another idea, Haru had one in mind to tell the others about it.
Keiko: Ah...Any other thoughts in mind?
Haru: Oh, what if we tried something else? Like, what do athletes do after a win?
From a gloomy tune of music, and not to a friendly one on what Haru was trying to ask the others about the question first.
Makoto: You mean a huddle? We could all circle up and give a victory shout together.
Futaba: Sounds good-except for the part where we're in the dead center for Shibuya, surrounded by tons of people.
I guess they'll be doing it in public then since they just saved the world and such.
Ryuji: What?! You wanna do it here an' now?!
Futaba: C'mon, Ryuji, get with the program.
Akechi: I don't see anything wrong with it, I'm just happy to go through my life with friends like you guys.
Someone agrees with them as the ace detective.
Yusuke: I too am disappointed. After all we've been through together, you've nothing left to lose with this.
Ryuji: Hey, speak for yourself! I've got tons of shit I could lose! Fine...Let's get this over with. Everyone, put your hands in!
And they all get together, all eight of them to make this happen. Well, it was still awkward looking.
Makoto: Don't you think this is a little too overt?
Keiko: I don't know...
Ann: Yeah, uh, can we hurry this up? I don't mind yelling, so long as we make it quick.
You heard the lady.
Ryuji: Well, this celebration's going great...Whatever, Joker, you lead off with this.
Keiko: Me...Well, I was the leader of the team. So I got it.
Ryuji: Then whenever you're ready, leader babe. When she gives our victory cry, we all follow with a super-loud, "Yeah!" Got it? Alright...One...Two...
And three...!
Keiko: We did it! Yeah!
All eight of them do it together.
Akechi, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru: Yeah!
Well, a bit silly to be really fun in the end.
Akechi: So this is what it's like to have friends...I like it a lot.
Ann: *sigh* That actually made me feel a bit better. It's like everything's finally over.
It sure feels like it now to see enough proof.
Makoto: You may be right there. The more I think about it, the more pressure I realize we were really under. I hope we can relax at least a little now.
From the new changes for all of them to all have smiles on their faces, or the cold feeling for them to be happening outside during the Winter time.
Ann: ...Brr, it's chilly!
Feeling cold for Ryuji to keep Ann warm.
Ryuji: I got you, babe. Hey, look.
Another Christmas Miracle does happen to be cold out and snowing purely for the first time for the others to see coming down.
Futaba: It's snowing...!
Keiko: This is one Christmas Eve we will all never forget.
Ryuji: No wonder it's cold.
Ann: Is this what they call a white Christmas?
That and to finish off with Christmas Eve to do something from the part later on...
Makoto: It's still Christmas Eve.
Haru: Christmas...I completely forgot about it...
Makoto: Anyhow, we'll have to see what happens for now. We should probably break for today. Let's meet at Leblanc tomorrow, and have a final meeting on the situation.
For Makoto to be holding hands with Yusuke, the others agreed to do just that for right now.
Yusuke: Yeah, let's do that.
They all will. But before they could end it all, Ann had something to say next.
Ann: ….Hey! It'll be Christmas, so why don't we do a last celebration party?!
Akechi: The best gift of all is spending time with friends you know and love.
Ryuji: I like the sound of that! There better not be anyone that's got plans already!
Nah, looks like they all wanted to do it.
Ann: It's settled then!
Yusuke: Ms. Keiko, make sure you persuade Boss to let us reserve the store for the party.
For feeling sad to not be alone in this one, Keiko agrees to tell Sojiro about it right away.
Keiko: Sure thing! (Morgana, this will be all for you to be remembered by. And the honor of the good side of the late Atsuko Sakurai as well.)
Yusuke: We're counting on you. Well then, see you all again tomorrow.
Futaba: I'm worried about Sojiro, so I'm gonna go head home. Later, Big Sis.
For Futaba walks back home first...
Ann: We should go home too.
Then Ann, Ryuji, Haru, Yusuke, and Makoto all headed back of their own homes next to have Akechi do something to be in hurry, more detective paper work again.
Akechi: Hopefully at this rate I can...Princess, I need to take care of something real quick. I'll come right back. I'll find you.
He kisses his girlfriend to get going. What was Akechi in a hurry for...?
Keiko: Ah, okay. See you later tonight then, Akechi-Cun. I just need some fresh air before heading back to Leblanc in a bit.
Akechi: Then please get back there safely.
Anyways, Keiko just clears her mind to stay warm to walk around until night time all over town she's been to on a Christmas Eve night to have designs, some Christmas trees, and the lightness but pretty snow to fall down. All was back to normal again to save the world to be the way things are again, well...all was good for Sae to show up to talk to Keiko about on other things to not be so bad.
Sae: I didn't except to find the world's savior alone on Christmas Eve.
Keiko: Oh! Hello, Sae, thanks. I'm glad we've fixed things.
Sae: Well done, Keiko...Can I talk to you for a minute?
Keiko: Okay.
Fine to be talking in this part of town while others were doing their daily lives, it was a good spot for Sae to say something to Keiko...
Sae: First off, thank you for taking my request. With your actions, I can only hope that public opinion changes...It will change, won't it?
Keiko: Have you ever heard of a Christmas Miracle? Something tells me that it will.
From those things and a lot more for Shido to be going to jail now, and his helpers thanks to Sae to pull it all off in the end.
Sae: I believe so, too. Shido confessed to a variety of crimes. We can arrest him on those charges...The problem lies in proving him guilty. It'd be difficult unless the correlation between the Metaverse and the mental shutdowns is made. Between Junko to really be Atsuko Sakurai to say she has gone missing, but she's gone now, isn't she? It's only you and Akechi-san...You two are the only ones left who can testify.
Keiko: Akechi and me...? Huh?
Yeah, now this is where things get a little bit tricky from here...
Sae: ...I'll be blunt. I want you to turn yourself in to the police.
Keiko: Turn myself in to the police again...But why?!
Feeling a bit scared to let it all happen to her again 'for the third time', there was a good reason for Sae wanted to help Keiko out with some few terms in mind.
Sae: Wait, Keiko, please hear me out first so we can both work something out. Same with Akechi who might tell the officers to get kicked out as a detective.
Keiko: But he didn't do anything wrong!
Sae: It's his other half did, I know. And they'll think he was force to work for Junko. I get it...But listen, they'll go easy on him to talk, but he needs our help. And because your testimony will be necessary in order to prove Shido guilty...However...That will mean placing you in center stage. You'll be treated as a hero who saved this country and Akechi who helped out to fall for a Phantom Thief with reason from his past...But there's no way that the police or the public prosecutors will let that slide...They'll lose face to you and the Phantom Thieves. If that happens, there's no telling what they'll do to you or your teammates. There's even a possibility that they'll fabricate a crime and more to arrest you all.
Keiko: No...! (I don't want that to happen, or to let my friends be put in danger this way...)
From those thing could happen, Sae offers Keiko and Akechi a deal to save each other.
Sae: If you turn yourself into the police, you'll definitely be arrested. And there's your past record. The police and prosecution will strike there. Keiko, listen...They'll treat your arrest as "grave misconduct" and revoke your probation...You'll most likely be send to juvenile hall...and placed in solitary confinement.
Keiko: Is that it?
Sae: Almost, I'll get to the good news after this. I promise...They'll be content as long as they get a testimony without the Phantom Thieves being as heroes. That should guarantee the safety of your teammates and Makoto. Or rather, I'll make sure it guaranteed. I'll close all the cases surrounding Shido. I intend to expose them all. It's to prevent society from becoming distorted again. That's what you want too, isn't it, Keiko? But there's a good side to this...If you agree to turn yourself in, there's a place I'll let others rent for you to stay in...Like a house arrest for you and Akechi to live in, help me out, stop Shido, push your other false crimes aside, and for you guys to get out under police protection for a while. Like a type of new way to start off living on your own in training, if you wish to call it. Please?
This was really hard to take a deal to have some people watching Keiko and Akechi at a building to do all of this to be both turned in, was it the right choice to make...?
Keiko: Me and Akechi-Cun living together to testify in court to be guarded for a while? (We succeeded in changing not only Shido's heart, but that of the general public as well...The cognitive Metaverse has disappeared too, along with that malevolent god...However, it sounds like my testimony and Akechi's is necessary for them to find Shido guilty...But there's no knowing what the police would do to me or to my boyfriend. They'd never let a Phantom Thief like me 'to have Akechi aid them to still be part of us left a secret' to be a hero. Having that said, my testimony would at least keep my teammates safe. So much for the Christmas party tomorrow...They'd know I was acting out of line while under probation though...This might be the only way to ensure all our efforts don't got to waste.)
All of this to be thinking about all of this for Keiko for her and Akechi to go through and the others to remain cafe, all of this to put Shido behind bars...
Sae: This is almost like...a final deal between the two of us. I'll ask you once more. Keiko Amamiya, I'd like for you to turn yourself in with Goro Akechi by your side in to the police, of your own accord.
Keiko: And the rest we'll be like living a normal life with protection?
Sae: I'll make it all happen.
Having to make up her mind, Keiko has decided...Well, something does change to hear a girl's voice to sound a bit familiar like Janet was to speak up. Wait, huh!?
?: There's no need for that.
To Keiko and Sae's surprise, it was the real thing. Junko Sakurai was alive. WHAT!? Even if she was real who died and Atsuko tried to save and became immortal to look like her dead friend. Keiko senses it all to be the real deal right now.
Keiko: Ah! J-J-Junko! You're real! I know I'm not seeing things!
Junko: Hi.
Hmmm...She seems a bit different from the other fake one was.
Sae: You...
Junko: If they get their hands on the perpetrator, there'll be no need for Keiko-Senpai to turn herself or Goro in, no?
She seems to sound different to look the same in her Shujin Academy girl school uniform clothing on.
Keiko: Still-! Junko! You're...really alive! But...how?
Junko: You got me, it does appear to be the case. Maybe the fake me gave me a second chance of life. Atsuko Sakurai...She will be missed.
Ah, okay...? Weird right now, but this works out for Keiko and Akechi now. Junko was going to take the bullet for them.
Sae: Wait...You said, "There's no need"...Just what do you mean by that?
Junko: Exactly as it sounds, Ms. Niijima. I'll agree to testify against Shido and his crimes. For what Goro has been through, the victims of the Midnight Strike, and Keiko-Senpai getting set up. I feel like it's only right. The Atsuko used and made me do horrible things. So I'm giving myself up and I mean it. I assume that works for you?
Saying this to Keiko to still be left confused, what else could she say?
Keiko: So you are real... (I don't know how, but seeing that here spirit and power for Atsuko to use to still have memories of me, I'm so happy.) Anyways Junko, you're really turning yourself in?
Junko: That's right. I have no hidden agenda at this point. I'm done, I really am on everything. If I had to explain myself, I'd say it's simply personal principle that I repay my debts. During the time we were working, you did save me a lot. So it's only right I repay you and your friends back.
And so, Sae takes Junko to be turned in for Keiko and Akechi's replacement.
Sae: For the time being at least, I'll take your word that you'll cooperate with the investigation.
She didn't mind at all to look, act, and feel calm to be the real Junko Sakurai here alive again from the looks of it.
Junko: That would save a lot of time.
Sae: Good, then come with me.. I'm sorry, Keiko...You can forget everything I just told you and Akechi's off the hook other than being a detective until he tells on some of the things he did do to be justice. So I'll take Junko in myself.
Junko: See you later. Tell Goro and the other thieves I said hi.
You know what this means, right...? Happening randomly for this Arcana bonding to be happening with Junko Sakurai only. Surprised...?
I am thou, thou art I...Thou hast acquired a new vow.
It shall become the wings of rebellion that breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the birth of the Hope Persona,
I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to freedom and new power...
Tayla: Hope Arcana #26 - Junko Sakurai/Lilith
Like the Faith Arcana, the Hope is not found in standard tarot decks. The Hope Arcana is present in the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck. Upright it represents hope, optimism and positivity. On the other hand, reversed, it can represent despair, false hope, negativity, and pessimism.
Keiko: Okay, Junko.
Moving along, for Sae had one thing to say to Keiko before leaving.
Sae: I won't try to claim that everything will turn out perfectly for you...But I would bet this case will reach it's natural conclusion...No, in fact, I swear that this will be properly settled. Merry Christmas, Keiko.
Now she leaves with Junko to call it another job well done. With Sae being saved but her heart not stolen, lots of good can happen to some people huh?
Keiko: Bye, Sae. Merry Christmas to you too. (Shido and the masses have undergone a change of heart, and the case is headed towards its resolution...This must be how things were supposed to happen.
With that all said and done 'I guess', to also see some text message from her friends – like what are the others doing for this Christmas...? Ann was doing well to get back home, Futaba says that Sojiro was doing well, Haru as well to stay warm, Hifumi to spend time with her family, Makoto too as Sae already told her the good news about Shido's arrest, Chihaya to make tons of money for her Christmas Eve night, Kawa to get a teacher's pay check to go triple for her, Tae to see her patients to stay healthy this season, and Ohya to get the story of her life time as the best Christmas present this year; to also have Lava to working for Igor normally again. For Iwai spending time with Kaoru, Yoshi to be doing well, Yuuki with his family, and Shinya with his mother and his friends. A lot of girl's night to go on for the holidays, huh? The others are doing well...
For Ann and Ryuji to spend some time together...
Ryuji: Merry Christmas, Ann babe.
Trying to touch her somewhere he shouldn't do too much on Ann, yet...
Ann: Hey!
Slapping him to then helping Ryuji get back up...
Ryuji: Ouch! Dammit, Ann...! What the hell was that for?!
Ann: I rather wait for us to date more until we can do it like how Keiko and Akechi did!
Ryuji: But they have nothing to do with us!
Ann: Still-! Ah, who am I kidding? Damn pervert you are, Ryuji, but...I love you just the way you are.
From hugging and kissing to be making it up in seconds.
Ryuji: Yeah...Baby, you're the greatest!
To kiss the night away afterwards to enjoy their night together.
Ann: Oh, Ryuji...
Haru and Sugimura …..
Haru: Oh! What is this...?
A lot of planets to be light up carefully and cared for to be nice back her house, it was all Sugimura's doing as well.
Sugimura: Do you like it...? I hope it's no trouble, Haru my sweet.
Left speechless, Sugimura did something so sweet and thought for his girlfriend.
Haru: Oh, Sugimura-Chan...I love it so much! This is the best Christmas gift ever! A garden of a lovely night lights all over. But how...?
He just gives Haru a gift to have fun with a cup of her own handmade coffee, while sitting near the fire place.
Sugimura: I have learned from the best right here. Come, let's warm ourselves up next to the fire.
Haru: I love to. Thank you so much for this.
Futaba and Yuuki ...
A lot to do and plan things for the two can agree upon for Yuuki spends more time at Futaba's house of her room, doing nerdy things.
Futaba: What say you and me watch some...Miyuzaki films, maybe about two movies for tonight?
Yuuki: Like Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away, sure!
Futaba: And for video games to play...How about Catherine: Full Body?
Yuuki: Sure, Sakura-san. Let's take turns.
Futaba: And something to read like...one of these collection from my Manga books?
Yuuki: If it's between Sailor Moon to Lupin the 3rd, then okay!
Then it has been planned out for Futaba to be happy and hugging Yuuki 'without her panicking this time'.
Futaba: Sweet...I knew you would like my night plan! Let's go!
Kissing him too for Yuuki was in heaven.
Yuuki: Anything with you...This is the best love ever!
And Yusuke and Makoto...
Yusuke: How's this one, Ms. Makoto.
From doing different holiday cards of art work with Yusuke didn't mind helping Makoto out, to be fast getting it done.
Makoto: Good work, Yusuke. A snowy woods, animals, lights, a design Christmas tree, and such. I never knew you come prepare on things like these every year.
Yusuke: It's nothing what I can do, and some for me to make a spare one, just for you.
He made one for his girlfriend, and so did Makoto for Yusuke to draw...the best she could do.
Makoto: It's lovely...and this one? How is it.
From holding each other and kissing under the moon light of the window for Christmas to shine up, he loves it a lot.
Yusuke: It's perfect, but not so much as you are to me.
Makoto: Same here...
Ah, young love...And what was left was Keiko and Akechi to go do something in Shibuya Underground type of mall to have Christmas fun the best way they could do it.
Akechi: Meeting back on the other side of Shibuya on a Christmas Eve night.
Keiko: With tons of people yes. (I should tell Akechi-Cun and the others tomorrow on what just happened tonight.) I bet everyone else is having a good Christmas like we're about to next.
And without getting loss in the crowd either.
Akechi: Let just night be about us only, and nothing else. Now then, we should get something to eat by going out somewhere?
Trying to and holding hands with each other, but...it was too pack to eat anywhere and be close earlier due to the holidays. Anyone got a plan-B?
Keiko: Well, we've failed. No roasted chicken to get on Christmas Eve. Crap...
Akechi: This is trouble someone...What about come cake?
Yeah, people get some tasty cake on Christmas.
Keiko: Yum, cake on Christmas. Good idea, Akechi-Cun, let's go fine one.
Going up to a cake stands, but it looks like they were all out of it.
Akechi: All out?
Keiko: Really...? They can't be all gone, can they? Ah, excuse me? Do you have any Christmas cake left?
Asking a clerk 'in a female Christmas outfit on' about any leftovers, she says this to them.
Clerk: Actually, we do!
Keiko: You do...? You do?!
Good news to hear about this one.
Clerk: One of our orders was canceled last-minute. This is the only cake we have!
Akechi: Then one Christmas cake for my Princess and me please?
The woman was getting to it right away.
Clerk: Of course! Just wait one moment while I go prepare your order!
Going to get it for them, this was going to be fun to eat.
Keiko: Wow! We sure got lucky.
Akechi: As the old saying goes... 'Tis the season for miracles. Or maybe a Christmas miracle?
Keiko: And being saved just for us, this cake is going to be very tasty.
Once they bought it to bring it back in Keiko's room for her and Akechi enjoy their Christmas time together and their cake. What a Christmas Eve night they were both having together.
Keiko: I love cake. I would love the eat the whole thing, but I would never lose my nice figure. The rest will be for Mr. Sakura and Futaba to have leftovers of.
Akechi: I think I have you as my cute good luck charm.
Hugging each other and laughing on somethings turn out right for them in the end.
Keiko: Me? I don't know of a lucky charm, Akechi-Cun. I'm just regular old me. Oh! You got cream on your nose.
Akechi: I do?
Keiko: Do you want me to get it?
Akechi: No thank you, I have to get the one on your lips next.
Cleaning himself up and using his finger to put a little on Keiko's lips next.
Keiko: Hey...
Akechi: Allow me...
He licks and kisses Keiko's lips to remove the rest of the frosting completely cleaned off romantically.
Keiko: Hey...
Akechi: Princess, I love you.
Keiko: I love you too, Akechi-Cun. I hope you like the scarf I made for you by hand.
She did all of it for her boyfriend.
Akechi: It fits well for me. Thank you. Listen, Keiko, I'll make my decision to talk to the police force on my work to keep or not and talk to "him" real soon.
Keiko: Shido? Are you sure? And you losing your job...
Akechi: I have time until Sae-san gets some answers now everyone sees Shido as a true criminal and no longer running as prime minister.
Keiko: You said it. Well, I'm here if you need my help just let me know before you do anything. I mean it too.
Akechi: I promise. Listen, I have another gift for you to be a long wait, but all worth it to do this now.
But before that, Keiko sees something from outside to tell Akechi about it to look it from the window view.
Keiko: Wait, look!
Akechi: It's snowing a lot now.
A very nice one to look at to be a light time of snow to falling down.
Keiko: I can't help but to look at it like this. It's lovely. A first Christmas together like this with you, my friends, and others who like me on who I am. And...Yeah, I hope my family are having a good holiday like I am.
Akechi: So you worked things out with them.
Keiko: I did...We had a long talk, they said they were sorry and explained the whole thing and learned about Shido before we met up and such, and I say it's okay. And they still love me, even my brother and sister. I want for you to meet with them when I get my place real soon.
Akechi: I'm looking forward to it and a lot more. I want to do this now...
Going down on his knees next to Keiko to be left speechless to get her a pretty blue sapphire type of ring, for you all know what this means...
Keiko: Ah-Akechi-Cun...!
Akechi: I've been planning for this a while now. Keiko Amamiya, will you marry me? Sorry...I'm not good with these words to say something when I get shy. Maybe after we move in together and finish with high school we can...?
It doesn't matter, they're going to get married real soon.
Keiko: Akechi. Yes, yes! Of course I will. (For one thing to happen to me and the other, love will never go away from the two of us.)
Placing the ring on Keiko's finger for her to be crying with tears of joy, this also made Akechi happy to pick her up in the air to be laughing with joy.
Akechi: Yes! I knew you would say yes to me!
And then falling on the bed together to laugh again and to be hugging to enjoy the rest of their Christmas Eve night to end like this.
Keiko: I love the ring and the rest of my late Christmas gift to get somewhere next year. We'll have a lovely wedding.
Akechi: We'll make it happen. The best one for my Princess. I love you so much, Keiko.
Keiko: And I love you too, Akechi-Cun. Now let's watch the snow fall like this together.
Akechi: Of course. We'll watch with you by my side, forever.
What a night that was, huh? For them to have something coming later on too for them to be married and telling the others the shocking news tomorrow on their Christmas Day party for Sojiro was okay with the other whole thing to happen. But...Where was Daisuke, Tohru, Aika, and Hitomi at? Nowhere at headquarters or their homes to be all abandoned. Except for Kiwa to have something else on his mind, besides having a Christmas Eve night with Kasumi to see her family for the first time; but with something else on his mind.
Kiwa: Kasumi...
Also on other few things to be going on – one was from a few new people aiding Lava and Igor back in the Velvet Room.
Lava: Now, you four know what we must do next correct? Good. Because there's a new threat to be drawing near.
The other one was Jose seeing the injured person who was unknown to leave and a lot on his mind to ask for some help.
Jose: I wonder if Mommy and her friends can help me on this one.
Elsewhere, for someone to be hiding in the shadows as Cait Sith had something to look like a bright up Eternal Pearl, but it was quite the opposite one to be filled with energy from out of this world. So what was the Shadow spy and Fake Tsuba up to now since they were around.
Sith: I got the first part so far, Master. What's next?
Someone else who was in the shadow to have glasses on, as Fake Tsuba had something else in mind to have a creature hand to become a brand new human one in seconds and smirking.
Fake Tsuba: …..
Sith: Of course, you don't have to tell me twice. I'll get right to it now. This is going to be our victory real soon with "his" help.
Well, whatever happens next it can't be good at all. For Christmas Eve night to end, entering in Christmas Day party next and...what happens next too, hopefully it'll be a good one for this special edition version, this was far from over yet.
