After a while of Jester, Akemi, their friends and Miyuki resting in the theater place, they then went back into A.I.G.I.S movie, arrived back in the same place where Jester used GOHO-M item to transport them out before they resumed exploring the place while fighting and defeating the black robots and shadows that showed up, gained EXP, money and items from them while their Personas level up and learned new skills until they arrived and stopped in front of a metal door.
"Oh! I'm getting an enemy reading just beyond there! Please be careful!" said Fuuka worriedly to them.
"What's your call, Jester? Are we ready to do this?" asked Akemi as she glance at Jester.
"Yeah, let's do this, everyone." replied Jester as she glance and nodded at Akemi and the others.
"Aye aye, ma'am! Time to do this!" said Junpei excitedly to Jester before Jester opened the metal door and she, Akemi and the others went through the door into the next area.
"Look-over there!" said Fox as he raised and pointed his finger at 2 black robots confronting a white robot with a huge red ribbon around it's neck.
"Huh? What's happening?" said Chie with a confused look on her face.
"What's happening, you say… What's happening is that those 2 are confronting the robot that we've seen in the trailer, Chie!" said Akemi as she shake her head at Chie.
"Shh, the white robot is saying something to them, Akemi-san." said Spade, telling Akemi to be quiet so they can hear what the white robot is saying to the 2 black robots.
"AFTER CONDUCTING AN INTERNAL ANALYSIS, I HAVE IDENTIFIED A TECHNICAL ERROR." said the white robot to the 2 black robots.
"ALL ERRORS MUST BE ELIMINATED." said the first black robot.
"COME WITH US. WE WILL RESET YOUR AI TO FACTORY CONDITIONS." said the second black robot.
"UNDERSTOOD." said the white robot in agreement to the 2 black robots.
"Is that the robot from the trailer!?" said Oracle.
"Yes, she is and that's what I said earlier!" said Akemi.
"Wow, she really does look like Aigis…" said Yukari with a surprise look on her face.
"Yeah, she sure does." said Miyuki in agreement with Yukari.
"Uh, more importantly-they said that they're going to format her!" said Fuuka worriedly to them about the white robot.
"Let's rescue her from being formatted by them." said Jester.
"Right! We can't let that happen to her!" said Skull as he nodded at Jester.
"Excuse me-shouldn't we go about this with more caution instead of charging in recklessly? Also they haven't noticed us yet so let's see what happens first, then-" suggested Crow.
"No way, this is an opportunity! We can get the jump on 'em right now." said Akihiko, cutting off the rest of Crow's words.
"You just wanna beat the shit outta them. Stop chargin' into things without tryin' to use your 2 brain cells first." sighed Shinjiro.
"What was that!?" snapped Akihiko as he glared at Shinjiro.
"Will you 2 stop!? We don't have the time for this!" snapped Mitsuru as she glared at both Akihiko and Shinjiro.
"Oh, how about this? Let's make it a competition between you 2 to see how quickly you 2 can take down those black robots?" suggested Miyuki sneakily to both Akihiko and Shinjiro.
"It wouldn't take me 3 minutes." said Akihiko confidently to Miyuki.
"I'll do it in one." said Shinjiro.
"Then I'm gonna do it in 30 seconds!" said Akihiko.
"Hm! Your mouth better not be writin' checks that your fists can't cash!" snapped Shinjiro before he took off toward the 2 black robots.
"Get back here, Shinji! I'm not letting you get a headstart!" snapped Akihiko as he went after Shinjiro.
"Wow! You sure know how to play them like a fiddle. Do Akihiko-senpai and Shinjiro-senpai also act like that in your world, Miki-tan?" asked Junpei as he glance at Miyuki.
"Unfortunately, Junpei." sighed Miyuki.
"Good heavens… They act like childrens in your world as well? Well, regardless: thank you for diffusing the situation, Arisato." said Mitsuru thankfully to Miyuki.
"No way. The Ice Queen of Kirijo is thanking me for what I did? Is the sky gonna fall on us now?" gasped Miyuki before she quickly look up at the sky to see if it'll fall on them or not.
"Don't be ridiculous, Miyuki-san. Of course the sky won't fall on us." said Akemi as she scowled at Miyuki.
"We can't fall behind either. Let's back them up!" said Queen to Jester and the others before they also went after both Akihiko and Shinjiro to aid them against the black robots.
"SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUALS DETECTED! SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUALS DETECTED!" said one of the black robots as he and his fellow black robots noticed Jester, Akemi, their friends and Miyuki coming toward them.
"We may be competing here, but you'd better not let your guard down, Shinji! Polydeuces, Mazionga!" said Akihiko.
"Ha, who do you think you're talkin' to? Let's hurry up and trash these things! Castor, Fatal End!" said Shinjiro as he and Akihiko called out their personas before Jester, Akemi and the others joined them, called out their personas too to fight the black robots and managed to defeat them all.
"Yes! We took them all down!" said Ken with a happy look on his face.
"Awoooo!" barked Koromaru in joy and agreement with Ken.
"Hey, what about that robot? Is she alright!?" said Rise concernly to them about the white robot and Jester, Akemi and the others turned to glance at the white robot.
"Hey, are you okay? I'm glad we made it here in time…" said Oracle in relief to the white robot.
"WHO ARE YOU ALL? I DID NOT REQUEST ASSISTANCE." said the white robot in confusion to them.
"Huh?" said Yukari with a confused look on her face.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Jester.
"I SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORMATTED ACCORDING TO THE DETERMINED PROCEDURE." replied the white robot.
"Wha-Why're you saying that? Getting formatted is basically the same as dying!" said Oracle in disbelief and shock at the white robot.
"I AM DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER UNITS. MY THOUGHT PROCESSES HAVE BECOME ADNORMAL. I AM AN IRREGULARITY, RIDDLED WITH ERRORS. I HAVE BECOME A DEFECTIVE UNIT." said the white robot.
"No, you're wrong and you're not a defective unit!" said Spade as he scowled at the white robot.
"He's right. How can you be a detective unit just because you realise you like flowers?" said Skull.
"HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?" asked the white robot in surprise at Skull for knowing about it.
"I don't really wanna explain it all right now, but-we saw you in a trailer." replied Skull.
"TRAILER…?" said the white robot in confusion at Skull.
"Anyways-you don't need to be formatted! Stop calling yourself an irregularity just because there's something different about you." said Oracle.
"BUT THAT IS WHAT OUR OVERSEER HAS DECREED. MY ONLY ROLE AS A UNIT IS TO OBEY HIM." said the white robot.
"Is that so? In that case, it's a stupid role that the Overseer gave you and you'll even more stupid than I thought for obeying him." snorted Jester.
"DON'T TALK BAD OF THE OVERSEER!" said the white robot in disappointment at Jester for bad-mouthing the Overseer.
"Sorry, you're not the boss of me." said Jester coldly to the white robot.
"Calm down, Jester. If you only followed the commands of others for your whole life, there'd be no personal meaning to exist, right?" said Noir to the white robot after she calm Jester down.
"A PERSONAL MEANING TO MY EXISTENCE?" said the white robot with a confused look on her face.
"Excuse me, do you know a robot named Aigis? She looks quite similar to you." asked Mitsuru.
"Also, a boy with an armband on like ours-he has long blue bangs that cover up his right eye…" said Yukari as she showed her SEES armband to the white robot.
"NO, I HAVE SEEN NO HUMANS EXCEPT YOU ALL." said the white robot as she shake her head.
"I see…" said Yukari with a sad look on her face.
"HOWEVER, I DID SEE A ROBOT WITH A RIBBON. IT WAS THE SAME COLOUR AS MY OWN." said the white robot.
"You did?" said Paladin.
"That's gotta be Ai-chan!" said Junpei.
"Would you happen to know where that robot went?" asked Mitsuru.
"SHE WAS DEEMED A SECURITY THREAT AND TAKEN TO THE LAB UP AHEAD." replied the white robot.
"What!?" said Akihiko with a shock look on his face.
"Tch… We're all in deep shit if we don't hurry to this lab." groaned Shinjiro.
"Indeed, let's move out at once." said Mitsuru as she nodded at Shinjiro.
"Wait! What're we gonna do with this robot?" said Oracle as she pointed her finger at the white robot.
"She's coming with us, of course, Oracle." said Jester.
"Yeah, I'm sure she'll be helpful. Oh, maybe she can guide us to the lab!" said Oracle as she smiled and nodded at Jester.
"An excellent idea! If any trouble is to befall this precious bot, I shall protect her!" said Teddie excitedly to Jester.
"I HAVE NOT BEEN DESIGNATED AS A GUIDE." said the white robot as she shake her head.
"But you know where the lab is, right? All you'd have to do is take us there." said Yukari.
"BUT, PERFORMING ACTIONS OUTSIDE OUR ESTABLISHED PARAMETERS IS…" said the white robot as she look down with a conflicted look on her face (which make Jester rolled her eyes in annoyance at her).
"Well, you don't wanna get formatted, do you?" said Skull.
"…?" said the white robot as she glance up at Skull.
"I'm askin' if it's your will to get wiped, or if you're just goin' along with it 'cause that's what someone else decided." said Skull.
"MY WILL…? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. WHY DO YOU WISH TO PROTECT ME?" said the white robot in confusion to them.
"Well, there's the fact that you look like Aigis-she's our companion… But I guess it's more like… we want you to value your ability to cherish things?" said Miyuki.
"I SHOULD VALUE THIS ABILITY? WHY? WHY… WHY DO I… WANT TO CHERISH FLOWERS? AND THIS WANTING TO KNOW WHY… IS THIS ALSO A FEELING?" said the white robot as she look down again.
"Why don't you come with us to the lab? You may be able to find the answers there." suggested Noir.
"That sounds like your best option. At this rate, you're going to wind up getting formatted, right? So, you might as well let your feelings guide you now." said Akihiko confidently to the white robot.
"… VERY WELL… I WILL GO WITH YOU ALL. I WANT TO SATISFY THIS FEELING OF WANTING TO KNOW WHY." said the white robot as she nodded at Akihiko.
"Good. That settles it." said Miyuki as she smiled and nodded at the white robot.
"Don't worry! If you suffer any malfunctions on the way, I'll disassemble-" said Oracle.
"You'll do what!?" gasped Naoto with a shock look on her face at Oracle.
"Heheh, whoops-my bad! What I meant was, all's well that ends well if nothing goes wrong!" chuckled Oracle (which make Spade face-palm himself at her antics while Jester had a smirk on her face).
"Well, we found the robot that seems to be the key to this movie. That's one of our goals checked off the list." said Mona as he glance at Jester.
"Yeah." said Jester as she nodded at Mona.
"Y'know, I've been wonderin'… can you fight?" asked Kanji as he glance at the white robot.
"NO, I HAVE NO BATTLE FUNCTIONS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT." replied the white robot.
"Don't worry! All you gotta do is follow us." said Oracle reassuringly to the white robot.
"Yeah, leave the fighting to us!" said Yukari.
"YOU ARE BRINGING ME ALONG, EVEN THOUGH I CANNOT FIGHT? YOU DO NOT BENEFIT FROM THIS. SO, WHY?" asked the white robot in confusion to them.
"There is a benefit to it. Now be quiet and let's go." said Jester sternly to the white robot.
"BUT…" said the white robot as she look down again.
"Don't sweat all the details. C'mon, let's go!" snapped Kanji as he scowled at the white robot.
"ALRIGHT, LET US GO THEN. FOLLOW ME." said the white robot before she turned around and began leading Jester, Akemi, their friends and Miyuki toward where the lab is.
