Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition

By Tayla Drago

Episode #161 - Mementos Completed

Getting back to Cafe Leblanc for Keiko and Morgana finally found Maruki's Treasure to try to give him the Calling Card, somehow...And still get stronger with a few more requests in Mementos to go. Cthulhu murder Sith for Jose to get the Persona of him, to be having powers and in danger if hes not careful for Maruki saw everything. Hmmm...with Kiwa, Aika, Hitomi, Tohru, and Daisuke working hard with Lava helping the other four and Kiwa to stay with Sumire still at her place – a group text happens to talk to the others. Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Akechi, Sumire, and Junko.

[Ann: Something's bothering me...So, we talked about how Dr. Maruki MIGHT contact us, right?]

[Makoto: Right-it was only our best guess. I really hope it's not the case, but there is a chance he may not show up before the deadline he gave us.]

[Ryuji: For real?! I didn't even think about that...]

[Akechi: While we can't discount the possibility entirely, I'd say the chances of that occurring are slim.]

[Junko: The man sees himself as a downright saint-I can't see him suddenly going back on his word. Wouldn't you agree, Keiko?]

[Keiko: Probably, I'd say so too.]

[Sumire: Right. If he wanted, he could just erase all of us from existence.]

[Futaba: Not only that - giving us all this extra time does us a lot of good on our end. And there's still so much about Dr. Maruki's power that we don't understand.]

[Haru: That's true. We need to use this time well and prepare as much as possible.]

[Yusuke: I shall take it upon myself to remaster our calling card into a true work of art.]

[Futaba: Yeah-no, we're got there.]

[Yusuke: What a pity...]

Either way, they'll know to be ready for anything Maruki and his Persona Azathoth throws at them.

Morgana: We'll be ready, Madame Keiko. To change Maruki's heart and stop Cthulhu once and for all.

Keiko: Yeah, we will, Morgana.

From them to go out to work out and Kawa helping out to see how Keiko was doing and before Sojiro closes the cafe to call it a night for them. With Shinichi telling Sumire about the so call dream he had...

Shinichi: Sumire? Listen, I just had the weirdest dream. The Phantom Thieves saved me and Kasumi said hi.

Sumire: They did? Wow, that was some dream.

Just go along with it...

Kiwa: I wish I had the same dream too, Mr. Yoshizawa.

What matters is he's well again, good to know. Elsewhere, just then before Aika and Hitomi could relax...Something was making Tohru spill out more than peeing herself...Could it be?!

Tohru: Ah! Daisuke...It's coming!

In pain to try breathing and holding her stomach, the baby was finally arriving!

Daisuke: Shit! The baby's arriving! What the hell can we do?!

Aika and the Hitomi: Our kid brother or sister?!

Panicking to be their new step little baby sibling and Daisuke to be a real father this time for Tohru was in labor...Soon, Haru arrives to hear Tohru's screams to know what was happening.

Haru: My goodness...! Ms. Hitachi! The baby's coming!

Aika: This is our first time, Haru! What the hell do we do?!

One thing to do at a time and working as a team on this one.

Haru: Everyone, listen to me very carefully. We must help Ms. Hitachi deliver the baby. I've done this before to aid someone without Father noticing. Now, Iwamura, get tons of towels. Clean ones with a very warm blanket. Kanakubo, get warm water to place a wet cloth on her stomach and forehead. And Mr. Jodojon, quickly call 911. We must hurry!

Time to do their jobs.

Daisuke: Ah...Right! I'm calling up now!

Doing so for the ambulance to arrive, Haru lies Tohru down on a sofa bed; as Hitomi gets the wet clothes for her step-mother and Aika to get enough towels on the rest. Holding her hand and to be breathing a lot to squeeze her two step-daughter's hands, to try pushing the baby out of her little at a time.

Aika: You can do this.

Hitomi: We're right here for you.

Now it was time for the baby delivery to happen.

Haru: Okay, you two stay by your step-mother's side. Ms. Hitachi, you can do this. Push. Push well and breathe.

Tohru: I'm trying!

Haru: Keep going. Push some more and I'll help you pull the baby out!

Pushing harder to give birth to her and Okumura's child and the love life to be married to Daisuke; as them, Aika, and Hitomi to have the warden powers and so will the baby. From screaming, sweats, and breathing harder...one more push does the trick to get the baby out. Tired out, Tohru was going to be fine.

Hitomi: It's out!

Tohru: Is my baby girl okay? Where is she?!

Soon to hear her cries, the baby was brought to the new world.

Aika: Alright, it's a girl.

Haru: Congratulations, Ms. Hitachi. I have a half sister. Hello there.

Calming the baby down, and Daisuke arriving with the ambulance finally arriving to take the baby and Tohru to the hospital.

Daisuke: My god...I'm still a daddy...I have a baby now.

Going up to his new wife to seeing their daughter.

Tohru: Daisuke, isn't she beautiful? Our little Sena Okumura. But really as Sena Jodojon.

Already came up with a name, huh? It was nice.

Haru: Sena...I love it.

The baby stops crying to see her new mommy and daddy to be laughing and smiling to hold their big finger and hand.

Daisuke: What a smart girl, she knows who her parents are.

Tohru: Sena...

Even the big sisters love their new little baby sister.

Hitomi: She's so lovely.

Aika: Welcome to our new world, Sena.

Same with Haru to be laughing with Sena to like each other already.

Haru: Hello, Sena. I'm your big sister, Haru Okumura. We have so much to show you later.

Now going to hospital for Daisuke goes with Sena and Tohru to stay the night.

Daisuke: Stay put, you three. I have to stay by their side. So I'll keep everyone posted.

Taking off for Aika and Hitomi tell Lave and Igor the news back in the Velvet Room, and what they needed to do before the battle just in case.

Aika: We'll tell Lavenza about this so we'll make sure Sena is safe from the battle we'll be in.

Hitomi: Something tells me Sena has the same powers as the rest of us four to be just fine.

Leaving Haru to tell Sugimura the goods and then the others tomorrow.

Haru: Okay, you two go do that. Keep us posted on Sena and Ms. Hitachi's conditions. Good night now.

What luck to have that part happen, huh? Yeah, it was all good now. Now to get through one week left for Mementos, and getting stronger too before changing Maruki's heart next to take his treasure.

Year 20xx

Day #293 - January 1/27th – Friday

With Keiko getting through school day to pass Mr. Hiruta's class well and Morgana just hanging around with her...As well as Haru text messaging the others the news of Tohru to give birth to Sena 'she won't be in any danger in my story of course not'...Just saying. Still hearing lot of people sounding too happy again, with Yuuki still aiding the Phantom Thieves in any way he could.

Yuuki: Whatever's happening this time, the Phantom Thieves will fix everything. I know it. Amamiya, Futaba-chan, and everyone will do their best out there. I can only lead them a few more requests for them to do and changing the person's heart who's responsible for this mess.

Heating about the next target to go after in Mementos – making it short for both Keiko and Morgana go to Kichijoji about finding a man with a weird code name (AIMaask OUZI) to ask people in the area of this person, it's a website code name on some of some mess up website show to be stopped. With team work from Ryuji and Makoto aiding Keiko to figure it out in the end.

Morgana: Now we got the name.

Operation Quest - Izuo Amasaki = Target (Fake-Man Show)

Afterwards on a snowy day to be playing some crane games, Keiko and Morgana then try out a temple to meditate well to clear their minds.

Keiko: Relaxing...

Morgana: It's like all of our worries go away so fast.

Not bad...For more helping out Sojiro at the cafe, crossword puzzles, and working out, to then have Akechi come over for him and Keiko to love each other again and still finish up school tomorrow at least to do it again later.

Akechi: So Daisuke and Tohru have a child. Aika. Hitomi. Haru...And Sena. A lot of daughters in the family.

Keiko: They are very happy. Tohru will be in the hospital for a bit with Sena to come so quickly for Daisuke to be security guard for his new wife. Still, Aika and Hitomi will keep us posted. Kiwa heard the news, he was happy and Sumire was too.

Akechi: And I guess Junko didn't care?

Keiko: Well...She was thankful on her end.

They laugh to see that Junko cared deep down.

Akechi: I get it. I wonder what you and I can do for Jose to give him a new home...

Keiko: A new home for Jose?

Thought to hear that part well, Akechi leaves it be for now.

Akechi: Oh! Ah...Nothing. I'm just thinking about something is all. Come now, Keiko. Let us have ourselves a little fun before bed.

Keiko: Okay then, Akechi-Cun.

With them laughing to be hugging, kissing, and then having sex again in bed to then sleep together of their love to grow more and more. Is Akechi serious to give Jose a new home for him and Keiko to do for him later...?

Year 20xx

Day #294 - January 1/28th – Saturday

Looks like Lava and Igor will guard Sena in the Velvet Room for her own safety, she was too young to fight right now...On the train ride to school for Keiko and Morgana kept on hearing people talking about things to make them too happy. After school was over, one last request to do two of them was Ryuji to get it on the Phan-Site to tell Keiko about it. Hearing the name in Akihabara of a maid idol girl to see this married man to giving him her things and autograph to love her more than his own family; bad times for him and wife to have some trouble as his son wants his dad back.

?: I love you, Star Lina.

Star Lina: Aw, thank you sir. You're so sweet.

Wow, this was serious to change this heart to getting back with his family again. He was just living in a fantasy world to at least getting his name.

Operation Quest - Anji Fuwa = Target (An Idol and a Unicorn)

Morgana: It's not right to fall in love with an young idol since he's married with a kid. Madame Keiko, we got two requests to be done.

Keiko: And we will too, Morgana.

Going to Mementos next to buying some items, gear, weapons, and some Persona powers to use to be ready to meet up at the hide out. Well, Aika and Hitomi had to do some work for Lava to help her out to keep in touch, and Kiwa to record the rest to hear what the sister were learning more on the human form of Cthulhu on who it is. Sounds fine...For Jose to wait for them, something happens from within the new floors of Mementos, as the other Phantom Thieves meet up to take on two requests.

Akechi: From a father to love an young idol more than his family, it's rather sad.

Futaba: And a mess up man to make illegal videos online streaming, he will be stopped.

Morgana: Right, now let's get to Mementos.

To Mementos the other Phantom Thieves go, two more to go! Transforming already – Keiko/Joker, Akechi/Black Crow, Morgana/Mona, Ryuji/Skull, Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, Makoto/Queen, Futaba/Oracle, Haru/Noir, Sumire/Violet, and Junko/Witch with Black Frost...Also her bonding and Arcana goes up to nine, being one more to go.

Junko: Same as always, huh? Let's go then.

Ann: Good! Then let's get going!

Leave it to Futaba to detect the two targets from the newer floors they had to go all the way down to.

Futaba: Joker, leave the mapping to me and scan through. So just head down to feel out the strongest energy points.

Going into Morgana's car form, they do so – as getting flowers, stamps, money, fighting off Shadows, running into them, treasure chests, locked ones, gear, items, weapons, and so on...From Da'at Area 13 was one of the first targets to go after first, into the portal hole they all go into. From there – Anji was there to be having a big crush in Linda, but she might have a boyfriend with the same age as her already! So gross.

Futaba: All right, there's Anji Fuwa! Let's change his heart, for his family's sake.

Yeah, and talking sense to this guy won't be so easy to do...

Anji Shadow: Ah, Star Lilia...My only Lina...I love you so much.

Keiko: That's not love, that's adult perverted on kids.

Which is still wrong!

Junko: Disgusting...!

Ryuji: Dude! You have a wife and kid, remember? This is straight up cheating on her!

Yeah, Linda likes her fans, but never in love with them to have a real life.

Anji Shadow: Hey, it's right for and it's not cheating to sped my money al on my favorite idol. I'll do anything to see Lilia's smile at me! To hell with my family!

He doesn't mean it...Turning into the Shadow Unicorn to go after the Phantom Thieves. To use the power of illusion to trick them and have trouble finding the real one out of the other fakes in the away.

Futaba: I'll try to find the real one, just keep hm busy for me!

It was time to buy Futaba some time, firing some gun shots and using their weapons at the guy to be fast with a drill horn and fast reflexes...The real one kept on outsmarting them all, but getting rid of the fakes will have to do the trick.

Morgana: Let's try fazing this Shadow! Whirlwind Tackle!

Time to use the elements as their attacks to work out.

Ryuji: Mega Volt!

Yusuke: Tsunami Blast!

Makoto: Poison Fangs!

Haru: Daisy Vines!

Soon, Futaba finally spotted the real Shadow.

Futaba: Got it. It's the one with the tail sticking out, he's your real one!

Ann: I got this one...Spinning Inferno!

A direct hit to weaken Anji Shadow to not admit defeat.

Unicorn: No! My love...! My idol, I'm still your number one fan...Just let me be with Lilia to love her...

Ryuji: But isn't family more important than some one girl idol? C'mon, man. Joker, try talking to this guy. With no place to go or doesn't want anything to do with his kid's life...

It was Keiko's turn to talk to Anji Shadow to see things more clearly now. It hurts, but no one has to live in this type of life, it's fun but the real world still matters with others who do care about you.

Unicorn: The only person I want to protect is Lily-nyan! You understand me right?! My love for her?!

Keiko: But what about your family?

Unicorn: ...Why do you gotta bring up my family? Family huh...All I've done with my wife is argue...Forcing the kid to learn a shit ton of stuff...I told her it's too much. But she doesn't understand that. My words don't reach her heart. But not Lily-nyan! Lily-nyan always pays attention to what I have to say! She's the only one that listens to me!

Keiko: You're not going to tell your kids? I think you should if this is what you really want.

Unicorn: My kid...? I can't do anything now...All my money goes to her CDs, and if I have time I go to the concerts. I rarely ever thought of my family. My wife was the one that stopped caring about me. So I decided to stop caring about her.

From being sad and ignored, which made Anji go to this type of fan thing.

Futaba: And that's what got you into idols...He might think he stopped caring about his family, but we all know that's not the case. Tell 'im, Joker.

It was now or never, but there was a such thing as a second chance in life.

Unicorn: My family doesn't need me...

Keiko: The kids don't think so. They still love you as their father, and I'm sure your wife does if you talk to her.

Unicorn: My children...? Yes...My god, I almost made a terrible mistake. They come first and maybe talking to my wife might get it. I'm sorry...

Turning back to normal now, it was fine for Anji Shadow to stay put until one more and final target is located.

Request – Completed!

Ryuji: Good, we snapped him out of it.

Akechi: Being an idol isn't easy. Believe me...Still, for someone to love their fans, but not all the time in love with them. I'm sure now from the talk he'll talk to his children for him and his wife will be more clear with each other this time.

Good to know. Now going to Da'at area 15, they've located the target to go into the portal where Izuo Amasaki was in. Or rather his Shadow – Izuo Shadow. His website making needs to stop and hurting his brother too like an awful bully.

Futaba: There, that's Amasaki! Let's stop him for his brother's sake!

This guy was very mess up to make show, even forcing people to do it in a mess up way.

Izuo Shadow: Hahahaha! Dance, dance! My videos I make to be upset with is making me famous!

Ryuji: Hey, idiot! You're hurtin' your family because of this hellhole you're makin'!

Izuo: Shadow: Trouble for my family...? None of you guys will never get how I truly feel! they don't get how famous I'll be, I'll get more to the top than my family will.

Turning into the Shadow Macabre and an army of Legions to back him up. Take him on to changing his heart, Phantom Thieves! Using the Legions for Macabre to heal up quickly...How can they stop this guy?

Futaba: Looks like he's calling for back up! Is he calling for reinforcements?! Be careful, Joker!

Healing too much with more summoning other Shadows, Akechi takes some down with one attack.

Akechi: Double Edge Sword Take-down! Come on, we can all stop them as a team.

He was right, soon the others join in for Keiko, Ryuji, Morgana, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru doing the rest with the other members to stop the weak ones to get to Macabre Shadow.

Junko: Time to cruse them all, Black Frost...Steel of One-Thousand Kunais!

Sumire: Nova Double Take-down!

Futaba: I want to help out too! Techno Claws!

With those guys down, Keiko hook shots at the main one to be trapped allowing for both her and Akechi to finish this.

Keiko: Black Crow!

Akechi: Let's go, Joker!

The combined attack.

Keiko and Akechi: Light and Dark - Energy Blast!

And boom! This guy was down to be back to normal now.

Izuo Shadow: Seeing m y views go up high felt so good...I got mad for my family try to take it all away from me, it's not fair.

Keiko: If you realize your mistakes then, then go apologize to your brother. And the rest of your family.

And he will now.

Izuo Shadow: Yeah...Sorry. I punched him really hard, to say nonsense things to my parents and such...I'm going to apologize to everyone now...

Good call to do, for he does to make things up for the better.

Request – Completed!

They've done it. They did the last two to finally finishing all the requests in Mementos to end.

Makoto: I'm glad we've done everything. What luck.

Now it was time to leave and give some stamps and flowers to Jose still.

Jose: Thanks again, Mommy. Daddy. Everyone. Keep me posted when we go back to the Palace. I'll do what I can to help you all out. You all help me out, so this is my thanks.

Keiko: We will, Jose. Now to change these men's hearts. Flaming Heart!

These guys have a lot to work on, but they'll be fine this time.

Anji Shadow: No more admiring idols for me...Dear, please talk to me with the kids. I want to make up on things if we both listen to reasons.

Izuo Shadow: Maybe being famous on my streaming isn't good for me to do. And my brother...I have a lot to make it up to them, and my family too. So I've made up my mind.

With that part taken care of – the Phantom Thieves take off back to the real world to do everything that needed to be done.

Morgana: Good job, everyone. Now let's go home. And Jose, we'll be seeing you again later.

Jose: Bye now and thank you for getting everything I needed.

Leaving Mementos to getting some good text messaging on the two targets, everything all worked out in the end, huh? Kiwa tells the other four too.

Keiko: Okay, we've train plenty to make it this far.

From Kawa helping out and working out again for Akechi to do with Keiko from time to time besides Morgana catching up to them.

Akechi: This is a good way to gt to sleep easily.

Morgana: Heh, not bad Akechi.

It sure was and then calling it a night with a lot on Junko's mind to find out where her brother Ginza might be at.

Year 20xx

Day #295 - January 1/29th – Sunday

It was snowy today and people in Akihabara to be living normal happy lives for now, with a few more days left...With Keiko and Akechi going out for the shrine temple and darts to play.

Akechi: A nice ay to spend as much time like this.

Keiko: Yeah, and more when we move in together soon...

From that and going the to the jazz club at night time for Ann to see them doing well.

Ann: Aww...they're the best couple. Compare to both Ryuji me too.

Year 20xx

Day #296 - January 1/30th – Monday

Going back to school for them and Akechi back to work and his apartment to see and talk to Keiko later, for she, Morgana, and Ryuji take the train to Shujin.

Ryuji: Hey, Keiko...I really hope you have a plan to give Maruki the Calling Card to take his Treasure, so keep in mind this is the entire world we're trying to restore, got it?

Keiko: I know, Ryuji. We'll make everything work out.

From more school day, temple again, and working out again...Keiko and the others will all be ready for anything foe the days to go by really fast.

Year 20xx

Day #297 - January 1/31st – Tuesday

Tayla: Sorry to rush some of the days to get to the good parts next, but with some details, I promise.

So I guess Keiko and Morgana do the same thing again to have the other training a bit differently, same with the Metropolis 12 members to take care of Sena and Tohru for they're out of the hospital now...School, temple, and working out to also aid Sojiro in the cafe too. To the second day of February month, for a few more days before the deadline. For within Mementos, Jose felt something was wrong to get grabbed by Cthulhu to capture him in the same spot the other Metropolis 12 of the four were being drained of their energies, his was easier to do without feeling weak. Being dragged into Maruki's Palace. For the real power to work more on the pearl and shard.

Jose: Hey! Let me out! Mommy and Daddy with their friends will stop you mean bad guys!

With his car and weapon out of his hands but the Persona card he had, Jose was trapped.

Maruki: I'm sorry, Jose. But I can still save you to make Rumi happy again. You'll think me later. I won't let anything bad happen to you.

Jose: No! Stop! Don't keep using the gems by using my powers!

Cthulhu: Shut up, boy, and get to work.

Using his powers to shock Jose all over to drain his powers to make the gems work more of light and darkness to continue fusing the two worlds into one to almost be done.

Maruki: Excuse me, but you said you wouldn't hurt the child if I brought Jose to help us!

He did set Sith's spirit free to be more powerful than he looks.

Cthulhu: And he won't...I don't hurt children so much. We're close, doctor, can you see it? My dream for a world order and you saving the humans...We're very close.

Maruki: But still...I know what's right without anyone else getting hurt.

All of this won't kill Jose, but it's wrong to see him be used like this.

Jose: Help me...Mommy...

Year 20xx

Day #298 - February 2/1st – Wednesday

With Keiko and Morgana taking the train to their school and Akechi to see each other off to their own schools to go to...

Akechi: Have a good day, Keiko, my Princess.

Keiko: You too, Akechi-Cun.

They kissed to take off.

Akechi: I'll call you later, I love you.

Keiko: Okay, and I love you too!

Same with Junko seeing them together with a lot on her mind.

Junko: (Should I tell them first before the others...?)

Also, can Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru's powers awaken for the final battle to aid the Phantom Thieves and Kiwa to guide them to their last target? For Cthulhu and Maruki? Getting through school, temple, work out, and Kawa to help them out...Lava sense Jose's been capture to alert the others about it in their dreams right away.

Lava: No...! Jose's in grave danger!

I hope she can do it, they have one more day left – Calling Card and and then returning to Maruki's Palace. As she does to hear Jose's crying out for help...

Jose: HELP ME!

This was shocking to Junko to hear and Black Frost.

Junko: No...! Not another one...!

Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru 'to be caring for Sena' go to the Velvet Room to hear the rest in person from Lava to be true and finding out what to do too. As Kiwa alerts Sumire about it first...Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru all felt it. Even Keiko and Morgana to wake up in a bad dream.

Morgana: Madame Keiko...! What we saw...Jose might be-!

Keiko: I don't know... (Was it real? I really hope this one isn't.)

Getting a phone call from Akechi, it was all too real.

[Akechi: Keiko, did you just see Jose in our minds to feel out?]

Keiko: I did and Morgana did too. I bet the others as well. I don't feel out Jose-!

[Akechi: That's the thing...Maruki kidnapped Jose! He's using the powers which is twice as strong to complete with the world new order and making a false reality way bigger!]

It was true for Mementos on the Nav looked empty with no sign of Jose to be found anywhere.

Keiko: No...Jose! JOSE!

Morgana: This is very bad!

Even though not telling Jose on who he once was and being the little brother to Rumi, he was still in danger to be rescued on the deadline day to steal Maruki's Treasure. With Keiko and Akechi text messaging the others about it to talk more tomorrow, will they save the world and Jose too? For his strong powers was the battery thing for the light and dark gems to grow stronger. Cthulhu has to be stopped and Maruki to see the truth, a lot more now! The first thing before that since this energy doesn't kill Jose to have more time, giving the Calling Card to Maruki was next important to do and fast!
