Day #300 - February 2/3rd – Friday
Tayla: You'll see why this is name of this chapter/episode...
Well, this was it today. Maruki gets the Calling Card to see what the choice will be – show up at the Palace or not, but they all will to change his heart and take his treasure too. As well as saving Jose, the pearl, stop the shard along with Cthulhu, and bring the the real world back to normal reality the way it once was. With Kiwa gets the portal to open up and Sena is safe in the Velvet Room – for him, Daisuke, Tohru, Aika, and Hitomi take off first to alert the others.
Daisuke: Everyone ready?
Kiwa: Yes. With or without powers like you guys to awaken more and more, I can still back you up. For my friends, Shibusawa, and Sumire's sakes. Let's go!
Somehow sure has grown a lot.
Tohru: Oh, you...With Sena safe, I can fight without holding anything back.
With the married couple ready, so were the sisters.
Aika: If this is our last time being Persona-users, then let's make it all count. Hitomi, don't back down now.
Hitomi: Funny, I was going to say the same about you too, Iwamura. And I won't go down without a fight either.
Kiwa: Then one last mission, Metropolis 12! Let's go to Maruki's Palace!
The five take off for Daisuke and Tohru's powers to be working well and Kiwa on standby, Aika and Hitomi transformed 'which might be their last time too have different powers as well'.
Aika: Suit up! Code name - Templar!
Hitomi: Suit up! Code name – Jester!
Now back at Leblanc for the Phantom Thieves were all gathered upstairs in Keiko's room to get ready to talk. With her and Akechi holding hands to hugging each other on their fun time last night, to keep on going.
Akechi: Princess...Last night was amazing.
Keiko: It was, Akechi-Cun...Now we have to do this one more time.
Akechi: And we will too, for Junko's sake and everything else we're doing too.
Keiko: Let's make it all count. (I know I can do this.) Welcome, everyone. I hope we're all good to go today. This is it. (You can do this, Keiko. Your choice and no turning back from it now.)
Will some of them learn the truth too today? Maybe...
Makoto: All right, we're all here.
Haru: It's time...Our final battle.
All was set for Maruki's Treasure to be seen now after getting the Calling Card.
Morgana: Maruki came by Leblanc last night, so we gave him the calling card.
Akechi: So now we'll be all set.
Even Junko witness it too.
Junko: I doubt Maruki is still interested in discussion. You realize there's no backing out now, right Keiko?
Keiko: I know, I've made up my mind.
I guess the rest don't know the truth about Junko yet.
Ryuji: Heh, ain't no way we're gonna run now. We're gonna confront Doc in his Palace, show him that's up, and go back to our own reality-right, Keiko?
Akechi: And...We rescue Jose, find Junko's brother, get the pearl, and destroy the shard. Don't forget.
A few things left to do of course, so it was finally official.
Keiko: Yeah, let's go. Let us all do this.
Sumire: Right! Kiwa will be fine with the other Metropolis 12 protecting him.
Junko: And I'll be aiding them too on the fight against Cthulhu, so it'll be fine.
So all is set for one side to stop Maruki and the other to stop Cthulhu.
Yusuke: It appears we're all ready.
Morgana: It's time to take back what belongs to us - our own reality!
Ann: Of course!
Futaba: Then let us teleport to the Palace! Big Sis, please do us the honors.
One more leading and using their powers to fix everything, with the Nav to do the trick.
Keiko: Then let's go...One more time, team, let's move out. Suit up! Code name – Joker!
Morgana: Suit up! Code name – Mona!
Ryuji: Suit up! Code name – Skull!
Ann: Suit up! Code name – Panther!
Yusuke: Suit up! Code name – Fox!
Makoto: Suit up! Code name – Queen!
Futaba: Suit up! Code name – Oracle!
Haru: Suit up! Code name – Noir!
Akechi: Suit up! Code name - Black Crow!
Sumire: Suit up! Code name – Violet!
Junko: Suit up! Code name – Witch!
Arriving there with King Frost there too with the others and the five Metropolis 12, they've made it back to Maruki's Palace from outside of the entrance door.
Kiwa: Good, everyone's here. Let's get going.
To the Twilight Corridor Prep Room they go where Maruki's treasure was located at. For Junko knows where her brother was...This also calls for Lyn's song – I Believe to be sung by Keiko here and my favorite song from the game too.
Keiko 'singing': It's time to
Unveil the heart you'll be waiting for.
It's time to
Bring an end to the question of who will win.
It's us.
I use to have that feeling
Premonition off fallen shore.
Now I have no more fears
Since we're here.
To fight together.
I believe
We can fly up in the sky.
One day we may just
Be able to touch down on that star.
All the roads we have to go
The moments that we shall proceed
Until the end of our roles.
There's no turning back for us.
'Cuz we will never give up!
I thought that
I told you I'm not a robot, no.
I thought that
I told you I'm not a phantom
I'm in your face.
It's time to show everything we got.
To find a way out from this bleak new rush.
Our life is happening in front of you
And now...
It's time to cease it.
I believe
We can fly up in the sky.
One day we may just
Be able to touch down on that star.
All the roads we have to go
The moments that we shall proceed
Until the end of our roles.
There's no turning back for us.
'Cuz we will never give up!
It's our turn to get back
To grab the future which
We fully believe.
And is not given to us
It's earned.
And I believe
We can fly up in the sky.
One day we may just
Be able to touch down on that star.
All the roads we have to go
The moments that we shall proceed
Until the end of our roles.
There's no turning back for us.
Because you know that-
I believe
We can fly up in the sky.
One day we may just
Be able to touch down on that star.
All the roads we have to go
The moments that we shall proceed
Until the end of our roles.
There's no turning back for us.
'Cuz we will never give up!
Going there, to sa Safe Room, and on the elevator again for the path to be made next for Maruki sees their arrival. As Cthulhu gets ready to main game of it all to have someone who was hold to be sitting down.
Cthulhu: It's time. Doc, let's show our guests upstairs.
With Jose seeing through the glass he was trapped in and Lava from afar, the final battle was about to start to try getting upstairs next.
Maruki: I see you made it. Come on up...I'll meet with you at the center of paradise.
Using his powers, Maruki makes the stairs from the big tall tree to walk all the way to the top.
Junko: Well, there's our entrance.
Akechi: We can finally move on now that we've got some stairs. Let's end this.
Hereward: Of course!
They've made it this far.
Sumire: ….Right!
All set to go.
Junko: You five are with me.
Metropolis 12 join with Junko and King Frost to go upstairs.
Aika: It's time to use our new powers.
Hitomi: Use them for goo that is.
Tohru: And what we're all fighting for.
Daisuke: Hell yeah! We've made it this far to be a real family!
For Sumire and Kiwa hugged and kissing to be back with each other.
Kiwa: Good luck.
Sumire: Same here, Kiwa, stay safe.
The married couple do the same thing.
Tohru: I love you.
Daisuke: I know...
As for the sisters...They choice this path they needed to do.
Keiko: Templar. Jester. Once you two do this like us, we'll loss our powers for good this time.
Hitomi: We're already aware, Joker. But we all want this and Tsuba to see this until the very end. So thank you for everything.
Aika: We need our revenge from that night and no one else ever hurting anyone again. Without you, we would've made it this far.
Kiwa: And from our old boss, Wakaba would've been happy for me taking over.
This made Futaba happy to hear.
Futaba: Right...See you guys when the show's over. Don't die on us! Mishima-Chan, this is all for you!
Haru: The same goes for my Sugimura-Chan...
Morgana: For you too, Lady Lavenza.
Same with Makoto and Yusuke to show their love, and the same with Ann and Ryuji for each other.
Yusuke: Let us fight against this threat together.
Makoto: We will, together.
Ryuji: Babe, you're the best!
Ann: And so are you...
And the last for embracing of Akechi and Keiko to give out all the luck they needed.
Akechi: We're going up now, Joker. Let us save Jose.
Keiko: Yes, Black Crow. We'll make it through. Now we should get going. Best of luck to everyone!
Rushing upstairs, and Keiko using her hook shot to get up half way to the top...the rest they rush on foot next for the building on top to be huge. And such a very long stairs! With Kiwa, Junko with King Frost, Tohru, Daisuke, Aika, and Hitomi go into one room...
Junko: This way...King Frost, don't you dare fail me now.
This must be the room Cthulhu and the two light and dark energy gems were in...While the other ten Phantom Thieves have finally made it to the very top – where Maruki and Jose were in this room on top of Cthulhu's. Before the battle with the apples looking like giant cameras to be growing like a real Garden of Eve thing, but it was Metropolis 12 members to be first and Junko to see Cthulhu and her brother's location – she knows who the demon's human form is besides acting like Kiwa's fake cousin Ren Tsuba once. For this first half is all about detail telling for the real enemy to be controlling everything.
Aika: Hey, Cthulhu! Come on out! We know you're in here!
Looking around the room to see a barrier around the energy power of the Eternal Pearl and the Shallow Shard were fused together to try breaking it won't be easy to do, Kiwa had to think of something.
Kiwa: Getting these gems out won't be so easy to do...
Soon, the demon's voice was heard.
Cthulhu: Haha! So, you've made! Some of you are here to see me, right...? Well, here I am.
Showing an old man's body to be sitting down to move up to it next...
Daisuke: Hey! Get up and face the music-! AH!
Tohru: A dead man's corpse!
It sure was to look so old to be very old and half dead, but he was on bloodlines of the demon's blood for it was him in human disguise, it was a horrifying sight to see.
Hitomi: Wait...This man is Cthulhu's human form of someone who was alive back in World War 2. Barely alive, but his powers are strong.
And with the the demon they've seen was all an illusion created by the mastermind himself.
Aika: Ah, gross!
Kiwa: So wait...If this was a fake by this old man's body to make the energy happen with the two gems more mix in with Jose's powers...The suspect had to be a prisoner from World War 2 and has Junko's brother?
Well, about that part...
Junko: No, Tsuba. The first half you said is true. But this old man doesn't have my brother, because...He is...
Appearing to look like Ren Tsuba, only to show his long hair and wearing ragged prison clothes on of another image of the young self of none other than...Yep, you all guessed right.
Kiwa: No way...! Because Cthulhu is really your brother...!
Aika and Hitomi: Ginza Sakurai!
Yep, he is the mastermind on everything to be behind it all and making Maruki do all of the dirty work. He controls the Palace and not the demon himself to have some power from within his old body. Being his younger illusion self to go anywhere in Maruki' Palace was his only safe haven. Showing himself to be smiling and clapping, this was really bad. For Jose's body and the gems were boosting his powers up only.
Junko: Yep, because my brother was behind everything...I should've known.
Being on their guard and Kiwa hiding near the energy core, Ginza walks up to his real old self to start talking to the others.
Ginza: Ah, I wanted to surprise you all. But my twin sister had to ruin the fun. And here I thought of Atsuko's love life from one of the Seven False God was worse.
From the way he was acting, they shouldn't be fooled by Ginza one bit.
Daisuke: Holy shit...!
Tohru: But he looks dead! Isn't he...?
Ginza: Well, you're half right and wrong. Man. I got so much to tell you guys before the whole world changing for a world order, huh? Doc isn't getting any better with this.
There has to be explain on how and why was this happening? Why was Ginza doing all of this as a half dead old man.
Hitomi: How are you doing this?! Where are you doing this?!
Aika: Start talking if you know what's good for you-!
Using their Persona sisters to attack, only to be absorbed to know about their attacks.
Ginza: Have you all forgotten? I got all your data to have no affected on me...Which means I can do this.
One snap from his fingers...he traps Daisuke, Tohru, Aika, Hitomi, and the two Kaguya sisters in his many arms from the grounds to grab hold of them all, and almost with Kiwa...but Junko and King Frost saves his life.
Kiwa: Guys!
Junko: Tsuba, shut up and get the gems out of the machine right now. Get the pearl while I destroy the shard.
Kiwa: And the others?
Junko: We'll get them now hurry it up!
Kiwa: Ah...I'm on it! (I have do anything here.)
It'll be a while for both Junko and King Frost to fight against Ginza to have more control than his sister has to turn against her brother who saved her life.
Junko: Hey! Harden Armor!
It won't shield her for long.
Ginza: Really, dear sister? After all I gave you? A brand new life, looks, powers, and such to just spy on the others for me since our other half older sister Atsuko couldn't do it...So why now? Turn against is just not fair.
Junko: After what all of us been through...that's all you have to say to me?! You let this mess happening after we both thought Cthulhu to drain your youth so quickly! Atsuko risk her life to take my pain and becoming me, you just watch and see the mess you've created to be all for nothing!
With the monitor screens on, cameras, sounding, and such for the other Phantom Thieves to hear and see while making their way to the top...Ginza wanted for Junko to tell the others everything; even if it took some time while Kiwa gets the machine out to control the wires through hacking.
Kiwa: (Stay strong, you guys...Alright, I need to deactivate this thing so I can get two gems out of this mess up gizmo.)
And it begins for a distraction to accrued.
Junko: Cameras and microphones? Really, Brother?
Ginza: What? I wanted for my enemies to hear the whole thing minus the Doc unless I allow it. Now, Junko Sakurai, tell everyone and I mean...everyone you know for the last month on what really happen, to use Sakurai family. From our father selling us out as power, cheated on our mother with his first daughter to have, escaping from the hell hole which killed our real mother, not Atsuko', and the aftermath. Come on, I want to hear the whole thing too.
Kicking and punching down the three Personas badly for the others were force to watch.
Tohru: Stop!
Daisuke: You made you point, got it!
Aika and Hitomi: Please stop!
Trying to say something, but Kiwa holds it in to hang in there and keep on going.
Kiwa: (No...! Sumire. Shibusawa. Phantom Thieves. Please, give me strength to do what's right.)
Getting back to the whole plot of this whole thing...
Junko: Fine, I'll talk. All of it...Just don't kill those humans, annoying as they are to still have good hearts! So shut it!
Ginza: Good, good. I got the Doc to finish up and such to having your friends trap and such to finish up the work, so there's no pointing fighting back for him to be in my power to control...So, let's hear it.
What did he meant there? It must sounded very important.
Junko: I told Aika, Hitomi, Morgana, Goro, and Keiko everything...So whatever, the others have the right to hear the truth.
And what of Maruki? He was waiting around with Jose to still give the energy to the main power of the world changes slowly being done by today. And now Junko tells the others...On what Metropolis 12 also learned on their own too, this was also sad to talk about it.
Tayla: I'll explain the rest for Junko Sakurai/Witch on her story to say the whole thing this time.
Part 1
In World War 2, from the Jewish people to be capture into the hellish camp by the Navi...One discovered another world – being Mr. Sakurai from Japan to have a woman to carry his older daughter Atsuko who was a children's author, and married to another rich woman to give birth twins – Junko and Ginza Sakurais. Turns out...because of his first Cognitive Psience discover to spare his life from the enemy to use on their prisoners to do so and work the Navis to do mess up and sick things...Operations – H.P. Human Projects since some were H.P. Lovecraft fans to unlock the under world for a new change in the world under their control like in the man's books to be true; since Sakurai had a rare blood to have his lovers killed in the camp and one dying from cancer from which Junko caught around fifteen years old. Using his own three kids to force them to work for the camp as slaves, while other died to unleashed Cthulhu on a human host's body to use; and if not to reject a male and female to turn them into demons so painful-like. Soon it came to the father to use on the three...
Part 2
Somehow, it affects Ginza more to take over both his body and his youth to fade fast into an old man. As both Atsuko and Junko's powers of a Persona-users grew to fight back, then boom! An explosion to destroy that realm for good to even killing their own father to turn against them. Although Atsuko couldn't save her father's mistress or his other wife bu to recuse the other slaves to go free, her twin siblings to know about only get them to safety to ending the war by luck. With the realm destroyed from the army to seal the deal and hide the project for Atsuko to lay the paper work out to them, it was never never again until 2010's. With others trying going back to normal lives again and Atsuko made her books for a living to gt through Ginza to heal back up and making more money for cure Junko from cancer, but there was none back then...
Part 3
With Atsuko hated to see her only family suffer, and turned to Yaldabaoth to aid her from a strong wickness to break free 'to also fight back against Igor and Lava from then on', to say these words...I'll give you anything to live forever and save one of the siblings while the other must live on slowly as a very elderly person. So choose wisely. Atsuko then became very young forever 'as the Personas Lilith of her own version and her own illusion making powers'; she had power to change the world with her true love by her side. Only able to save Junko from the cancer to becoming her after losing her human form over the years and her spirit to heal up leaving only Ginza to get old to see everything to she thought he was only brain damage. But nope! He was reborn for Cthulhu was killed from his home world to do such bad things by humans, he had a human host to also have illusion powers of the demon to also make objects around him to become a weapon. So while Atsuko became from Queen Lilith, fake Junko of a journalist to learn over the centuries of life to pass by while serving Yaldabaoth to learn about the seven gems to form the pearl with power of good and bad mix in, getting people of the Seven False God was a big task for her to do it all in the end – Suguru, Madarame, Junya, Futaba Shadow's curse, Okumura, Sae 'to be able to fight back', Shido, and Atsuko's love to be the Holy Grail at one time. Still be able to split Lava into Caroline and Justine and imprison Igor to becoming him – she gets her army on her team – Cait Sith, Loki, and without Atsuko knowing of Ginza turns into a copy cat type of Shadow of a spy to help his sister out a lot...even trying to recover the real Junko on his end as a secret.
Part 4
Even if his body was weak, Sith loved his master a lot to aid Ginza to power up more and make a plan of finding a human host of another Persona-user to control all things...Once Atsuko acted like Junko to play the part to stop the Phantom Thieves to get the gems to form the pearl, but they did all the work for them...So Sith was spying to report back to Ginza secretly to study more and testing out his powers of his illusion younger self; by using a crook low life to test out the powers of the other realm was gone but not how Ginza can control powers of Cthulhu to use and build up more, which took was the Midnight Strike event. Lucky for Wakaba's ancestors to learn the truth t stop it and not alone to get the survivors...Kiwa, Aika, Hitomi, and Daisuke. After Jose was hanging in there for him and Rumi loss their family, Lava takes him to rebuild him into a working doll. With Rumi, Shibusawa, and Maruki to get hurt but alive to forget some that changes everything, even the other four but Kiwa to have the warden powers with Lava's help before she was split into two. Sith saw it to have the low life human on the run and most wanted, leaving Ginza to get away with it all...hiding his identity to become Kiwa's only cousin to learn more of Metropolis 12 on any information he can get. Atsuko wanted in to get her the pearl, in return of seeing the real world 'unaware on who he really was and what Ginza was up to' Like an plan out act to go all too well.
Part 5
After seeing Wakaba was killed to know the truth, gave Ginza the chance to work for Metropolis 12 long enough to try killing the members in the dark, only to be all alive and hurt with the set up on Kiwa Tsuba as a bonus. But after slipping up to have his cover blown for Ren Tsuba was no more and Sith getting him out; the old body of Ginza's rested up to have everything to be done by Atsuko until her defeat – until those two found out about Maruki to have his fully powers awaken from the shard and waiting for the right time to take the pearl. Once Junko escape for Jose to find her and have Caroline and Justine heal her up until she remembers to escaping on her own...up to the point a bit when Atsuko loses her disguise human form for good. Maruki did it without Ginza noticing a thing to have his spy of his go free, but it didn't last for long. Still, once Yaldabaoth and Atsuko were dead know all about Cognitive and Shadow selves, havin Sith to make a move – the switching pearl powers for the real one and then combining them for Maruki's power to fuse the real world with Mementos and the Metaverse.
Part 6
As Ginza thought for his young illusion self to keep his true old form safe, he needs some blood and human energy of the four Metropolis 12 members and survivors from the Midnight Strike to gather a lot for the two gems of ying and yang 'light and dark' to make a new world order and people's fake and happy reality very real. Sumire to become Kasumi was one as well as Rumi forgetting everything, and a little bit from Jose too. From the Warden powers from Aika, Hitomi, Daisuke, and Tohru 'to join the team afterwards; take affect and Kiwa to feel things out didn't get caught. Soon to learn about Jose's powers after killing off Sith from Ginza's usefulness, for the final part about using Maruki up until today to killing him off the control all worlds in his own right.
And that's all we know for what Junko said – were all true.
The others reaction was sad and shocking...
Kiwa: I didn't think...!
Junko: So now you know what happened.
It was all true for even the Phantom Thieves heard everything now.
Ryuji: So that's it...!
Haru: How awful...
As sad as it is, they have to keep on going.
Sumire: Come on. We need to go on, they'll fight back. I know it. (Kiwa...)
Ryuji: I-! I knew that!
Morgana: Whatever, Skull. Just keep running!
The others understood to still think of Junko as their friend 'of the real one' to find by their side.
Keiko: Witch knows what she's doing to protect the others with her life. All of it! Come on, you guys! We're almost to the top! (Hang in there!)
Which also allows Kiwa to feel Sumire's voice to continue on with his plans too.
Kiwa: (Sumire...Right! I can't give up...)
As for Ginza to whip Junko a lot to show her other body parts like the Shadow Hastur, to be in pain to withstand and her true looks to be shown a lot.
Ginza: Atsuko chose you over me...I would've saved you next, but she did...And now she died because of it. Atsuko was worse compare to our father was! Who solid us out! You lived to betray me and became my enemy...Really, I like you more than our older half sister. If it wasn't for father and his evil deeds, this mess should've happen! Cthulhu's world is gone, but I still have the power to bring world order! For others to be ruled over and the Doc's work to be remembered well with the powers he's giving me! All of it! I can still let you live to repair you, sister...And your snowman of a Persona too...While the others will die quickly for serving power I needed as the boy lives on forever, as my brand new battery. After what he did to Cait Sith, such power...He was so useless to me.
For so much love this Shadow gave and did to Ginza, he was very heartless!
Aika: Shut up! Cait loved you until the very end!
Hitomi: How can you use others to die for you?!
Daisuke: I should've stabbed you instead to take my place!
Tohru: You made me join with the murderous Shido for taking Okumura! And I'll never forgive you!
No matter what they said to this thing, he just laughed to think they can't to anything to stopping this villain.
Ginza: Ah, are you all still mad what I did to your family from four to five years ago...? Well, too bad. I had to test my powers to make up the awakening of Cthulhu, but his powers came into me all along to build up. For I am the new Cthulhu of the underworld! I guess I can think Father on one thing a little, even if I had to kill him.
All along he also stabbed his own father to death. Even though what he did to his own children was still wrong!
Junko: Wait...You murdered Father...?
Ginza: Well, I had to. Don't you all see? I have to change the world. Humans are the true monsters, not me. We want changes for the better to also take a lot of sacrifice for it. Atsuko chose love over us, so I try to aid you and this is what I get. More betrayal. And once the Doc's work is done, I'll be the new world order. Not him, Shido, the Holy Grail, Atsuko, or other criminals but all me! I love power for a very long time to master and to use for all of it! No kids as thieves will stop me now! I have the pearl and shard as my own powerful weapon-!
Just then, the glass of the machine break. Finally, Kiwa gets a hold of the two to get out of the machine to still be running well for the plan to still continue on. So, one things taken care of.
Kiwa: (Hey, I did it...!)
Ginza: Hey, weak human. How did you do that?
Even those with brains and some power can think of a way to fight back.
Kiwa: I may have not gotten what they all have and I didn't get close to death, but I was a boy scout to learn how to stay alive and fight back!
One hit from one of Junko's kunai knives to stop the rest of the machine for the two gems to become one separated again.
Daisuke and Tohru: Alright, Tsuba!
Ginza: Really? I have to clean everything up here...
Trying to strike at Kiwa, but King Frost steps in to freeze up his real body, and trying to stop it...But Junko bits down on his other many arms to break free to cut through a lot more.
Junko: Gotcha...Steel of One-Thousand Kunais!
Ginza: Dammit!
Having no choice but to shield himself, Junko gets everyone else freed for Aika to use her powers with Kaguya Piccaro and Hitomi with her Kaguya.
Aika: Now's our chance, Kaguya Piccaro! Laser Explosion!
Hitomi: Aid us, Kaguya! Brighten Splash!
Attack well, but Ginza moves quickly to push Kiwa aside to get stabbed a little...he gets the pearl to save his life from the sisters' double attacks.
Kiwa: Ah-! Hey, the Eternal Pearl saved me...But the shard!
It looks like Ginza took it back.
Aika and Hitomi: Oh no!
Kiwa: I'm okay, but the shard is-!
Junko: Hey! Give it back, Brother!
Attacks some more with ice and steel powers, Ginza had control of the shard to try to destroy it and him next.
Ginza: Ha! Look at this. You can use the pearl as a weapon on me if you won't, but I highly doubt it'll do any of you good. My plans are still working and the shard is all I need to be ruler by midnight tonight to end this day and...into a whole in world! Hahaha! So suck it, bitches! Try attacking me to get the shard to get crushed and try to destroy me, or accept the new reality of me ruling all worlds.
Like that'll never happen at all. Kiwa firing another kunai at Ginza to his his eye, and pulls it out to heal...his weakness was his old man body to be under his spell to protecting it.
Kiwa: You don't scare us! We will do all of it and so will the Phantom Thieves to save Jose and Maruki!
Daisuke: What he said!
Tohru: The same goes for us!
Ginza: A marry couple and a boyfriend with some power want to stop...me? All for revenge from the five years ago? I'm sorry it had to happen to become rouge super heroes, it's sad. I mean...Really? For the other sisters and my own too, I gotta say...I am a little surprise.
For his teenage words of being a know it all and dangerous won't let Junko or King Frost go down without taking her evil brother without a fight.
Junko: You know what, Brother...? You're dead to me now.
Ginza: Ah, as in like you and Atsuko were too for me to live a bit longer to see everything and be a know it all? Is that it...? C'mon, tell me I might be wrong.
Junko: No, but if I'm going to die and get the shard out of your hand, then I'll be the only one to take you with me. We'll both die together.
Hey, she meant well to do everything, yes. Now back up top...Keiko, Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Sumire made it to where Maruki was at. Along with the out cold Jose to still have his energy flow through the part of reality to make it real, it was a tree the whole time as it's energy core.
Akechi: Jose!
It was upsetting to see, but he was still breathing and Maruki kept his word to be all true.
Keiko: Black Crow, it's okay. I sense it. Jose's alive and well in there. I also feel the other power has been stopped. This Ginza has the shard to stop them both next, but at least they have the real pearl. Now for Maruki's treasure and Jose are in our hands.
Akechi: Yes, we'll save him. I'm ready, Joker. All of us are.
Yusuke: There's no turning back now.
Futaba: Yep, we made it this far.
Ann: And to go out like this with a even bigger bang, I'm ready!
Makoto: Just be on your guard against Maruki and his Persona.
Waiting for them in his look of the Palace to look at the sleeping Jose and now to the Phantom Thieves.
Maruki: Thank you for coming. Excuse me, Jose.
Turning around to see their answer of arrival, it's final.
Keiko: Maruki...! We will save you, stop this nightmare, and save Jose.
Maruki: I see...It looks like I have your answer.
Keiko: I'm sorry. It's time to finish this. And we're...all sure of ourselves now.
Without being healed and talk to, they would've become stronger at all or their Personas.
Maruki: Indeed...No more hesitation. Let's begin. To make things fair...If you win, my heart will be changed and Cthulhu will be stopped...However, if I win...My reality becomes the true reality. I will overwrite all of existence with my own cognition. I'm no holding back anymore.
He was right. The ground started to shake for them to feel it from inside, the battle was starting.
Ann: Wh-What the...?
More power up from the Shallow Shard, Ginza Sakurai, Jose's energy, and Maruki's happen.
Maruki: Just as you have your own beliefs, I too have no intention of changing my plans for reality. No matter what happens to me in the end, I will fix this torturous world! That...is my rebellion!
From there to energy grows a lot.
Hereward: It's show time!
Maruki's Persona-user fighting form shows.
Yusuke: His apparel just...
With a helmet on his head, a long cape, a staff to hold, and such for Maruki's powers were off the roof for Jose to see a little as he was half asleep.
Maruki: And I believe you called forth your power like this...Persona.
Jose: Friends...! AAAAAH!
Saying it, Azathoth appears from part of Ginza's powers and Jose to be in pain for the power to be release of his showing. In the core, all charge up, with many arms of Ginza's demon form, and such for Maruki to have him aid his human master in battle. Much more powerful than ever.
Morgana: No way...Jose's energies being drain because of this thing...! So Maruki really does have a Persona!
Keiko: Stop, Maruki! You're hurting Jose!
This was really bad!
Maruki: No, I'm saving him...! I'd regret not pointing this out to you...You shouldn't mistake our powers as being equal. It's time, Azathoth...Our final battle has come. My Persona guides me!
From them and Lava arrives to stop the other Hastur of many clones to invade, she and her Shadow armies 'the one Keiko saved' come to action.
Lava: Psychic Flare Shot! Now then, it's time we all strike back.
Boom! That's some of them down and a big pack to go at each other...Cool attack Lava did there, huh?
Rangda: ATTACK!
They'll be fine. As Keiko and the other Phantom Thieves were ready to stop Maruki and Azathoth, so were Junko and King Frost against Ginza 'with Kiwa, Daisuke, Tohru, Aika, and Hitomi backing her up'. From the four having the other warden powers to awaken some more, something was going to happen next. From hearing the whole truth of the Sakurai family past to be sad and such...it was time to end the Human Project for good this time.
Junko: Are you ready to die, Brother?
Ginza: No turning back now...So let's settle this, Sister, once and for all. They can aid you and the only going to get crushed more, is you. So whenever you're ready, attack me.
Junko: With pleasure. King Frost, don't hold anything back...! (All this must end by my hands. I'll make sure of it. Keiko. Goro. You two and the other thieves don't die on me now! Or so help me, I'll curse you all beyond the grave.)
What will this all lead to? A big fight of two happens next to be something else. This will be fun on who to save first and what to stop next.
Kiwa: This is it...It's all or nothing now!
