The Queen of Seduction Awakens

Leblanc Attic

Akira was laying in bed thinking about what happened at the diner.

"You did good thing today, Akira. Most people wouldn't take their time to listen to her problems"

"Yeah...I just can't believe she was going to give herself to him for Shiho's sake…"

"We do weird things for the people we care about."

"You can say that again..."

"We do weird things for-

"Not literally!"

"Oh, my apologizes then."

Akira rolls his eyes but that's when his phone goes off making him grab his phone and sees that Ann had messaged him; "Oh, it's Ann."

"That was pretty fast but I do have to say that it is still interesting how you can send letters through a little device and instantly get a response..."

[Hello Akira!]

[Hey Ann, what's up?]

[Have you found a way to deal with Kamoshida? I know that I sound pushy...But I just want to get rid of him as soon as we can.]

"Should I tell her about the Metaverse?" "No, it's too dangerous for her. Besides do you really think she'll believe you?" "I guess you're right."

[I'm sorry, I haven't yet. How about you?]

[Well I was thinking of making him have a tragic 'accident'.]

"Whoa...That went to the extreme..." "This girl is really scary at times."

[Are you serious?]

[No, but I sometimes think about it. When I saw Shiho today, she looked even worse. Like she's given up on life but I thought she would be happy being in the starting lineup even though she does get injured a lot. But, now I'm worried, when she messaged me at the diner she wanted to hang out after practice but all of a sudden, she messaged me nevermind cause she had to stay after practice….]

"She really doesn't know what's going on. I need to tell her…" "You shouldn't, even though you guys became friends, it's not your business. She asked you for help, not to tell either of them about their sacrifices for each other." "Damn it, you're right."

[The only thing you can to do for her right now is to be there for her, be strong for her. I'm sure that's what she would want. Also, I'm sure that the other teammates wanted to practice some more.]

[You're right; I just worry about her a lot. But thank you for talking to me about her, she's my best friend, I just want her to be happy.]

[You are; just by being there for her.]

[Thanks Akira, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing.]

[You're welcome, goodnight Ann]

[Night, Akira]

"I want to go to the Metaverse tomorrow; we need to change that bastard's heart as soon as we can." "Yeah, it's time to change his heart!"

The Next Day

Classroom 2-D

Akira was sitting in his seat when Ann shows up; "How come you're always here early?"

"Well, since I was late my first day here, my guardian makes me come to school early." "Even though it wasn't your fault. He sure is harsh towards you for no reason."

Ann was confused that he wasn't with his parents; "You didn't transfer with your parents?"

"No, I didn't want my parents to leave their home; they still call me to see how I'm doing though." "You don't have to lie to her." "No point in being negative, just got to be positive even if it means lying."

She smiles, "Why; aren't you considerate." But then her mood suddenly turns somber, "I haven't heard from Shiho since she messaged me about staying after practice and we usually meet at the subway station…" She shakes her head; "Well at least Kamoshida stopped bugging me…But I heard rumors about her and Kamoshida...do you think he went after her cause I denied him?"

"Do you think…?" "Yeah…Kamoshida went after her because Ann wouldn't put out! Damn it! I didn't think those rumors would have some truth to them!" "Are you going to tell her?" "I can't say for sure but she seems like the girl who wouldn't go along with it. So I'm sure she'll deny him over and over again."

Ann smiles feeling better from his words, "Yeah, I know her; she's strong and won't give in. But that just means we have to deal with him quicker."

Thirty Minutes Later

Mr. Ushimaru starts talking about the separations of powers in Japan. Akira was trying his hardest to pay attention.

"Hey, did you decide on what to do yet? "Make up your mind already, senior!."

Akira jumps back hearing the voice and quickly looks under the desk seeing Morgana in his under desk storage, "Whoa! What are you doing in here!? You'll get caught!"

"Are you really going to doubt my sneaking skills?" "It is because they don't understand that they are amateurs."

"I doubt a lot of things about you. Anyway, yeah I made my decision; we're going after school today." "Last time I check, I'm a master thief, you giant furball."

"Good. I'll meet you in the back-alley." "You dare insult me! I challenge you to a duel in the Metaverse!"

Akira nods but his phone goes off and he sees that it was Ryuji messaging him

[Hey, are we going to the Metaverse today? I'm ready to kick some ass!]

[Yeah...But shouldn't you really be paying attention?]

[How can you pay attention right now!…Crap! The teacher saw me!]

He puts away his phone, "Did he really have to type that the teacher saw him...?" "To be honest, we're talking about Ryuji here. He's a good person; he's just not the sharpest tool in the toolbox."

"Hey! Look at that!" One of the students shouts pointing at the roof.

Yuuki looks over out the window, "Suzui!"

Ann and Akira quickly turns their heads towards the window when they heard Shiho's last name and their faces turn into horror to see her on the roof. "Shiho!" "Suzui!" They both run out the classroom and toward the courtyard but once they got to the courtyard entrance; she had already jumped off. They had tried running to her but she had already hit the ground before they made it with a painful thud. Ann then screams in horror and kneels right next to her, "S-Shiho! Please! Don't be gone!"

Shiho slowly opens her eyes and whispers, "I'm sorry Ann...I couldn't take it anymore… Kamoshida…has…been...hurting…me…as...well…as" She then passes out.

"Shiho! Please…wake up!" The paramedics came and asks if a teacher would come along while most of the students arrive and starts to take pictures. Ann volunteers right away and went with them.

Akira just stood there looking down with his fist clenched in contained anger, "I'm going to make that fucking bastard pay!" "This is beyond terrible; we will make him suffer…"

Vending Machine School Area

Ryuji slams his fist at the machine, "Damn that bastard!" "We shall make that scallywag pay dearly!"

Morgana jumps onto the table, "So are you guys prepared to face the risk?" "We must take down that woman-hater."

"Damn right I'm ready! He's the reason Suzui almost committed suicide!"

Morgana turns toward Akira, "How about you? You've been quiet this whole time."

Akira looks at Morgana with fire in his eyes, "I can give two shits what happens to him, I want to make him suffer for what he's done." "Same goes for me."

"We're not going to fight him!"

That's when they hear footsteps and they see Ann walk up to them and she looks at Akira, "So, you're going to go after Kamoshida? Well I want in."

Ryuji waks up to her, "This has nothing to do with you, Takamaki..."

She glares at him harshly, "Shiho's my best friend and that asshole made her try and kill herself! This has everything to do with me!"

He scoffs, "You'll just get in the way!"

Akira sighs,"He's right Ann; this is something only me and Ryuji can do. I'm sorry."

She looks at him with eyes full of betrayal; "I thought you, of all people, would understand…" She then runs away

"Damn it..." He mumbles and runs after her. He soon catches up to her, "Ann! Wait!" She stops and slowly turns around; "I'm sorry. I'm truly am...but me and Ryuji are the only ones who can do this. It's complicated…"

She looks down for a moment to think but then looks back up, "Okay...But just shows me or tell me what you are planning? Then I promise to leave you alone and let you go about your plan."

He thinks about it for a moment then sighs relenting, "Alright then...Meet us in the alley in front of the school in about ten minutes." He turns around and walks back to Ryuji and Morgana.

Ann was confused by why they had to meet in the alleyway, "Just what are they planning…?"

Back Alley

"Come on Cap'n! I be started t' feel me bones ache from waitin' so long!" "What's the hold up? Shouldn't we be in the Metaverse now!?" Ryuji was getting impatient.

Ann soon arrives to the alleyway, "So what's your guys' plan?"

Ryuji has a look of shock on his face seeing her, "What are you doing here!?" "Aye! Why be the poppet here!"

"Relax Ryuji, I made a deal with her. If I showed her our plan, she agreed to leave us alone." "Calm down, Kidd."

Morgana jumps on Akira's shoulder to get a better view of her, "Meowww, she's gorgeous!" "Talk about a beautiful senorita!"

Ryuji whispers to Akira, "You think it would be a good idea? The shadows might kill her."

"Don't worry, we'll talk in the entrance, no shadows go there anyways."

Ann was really confused, "Shadows?"

Akira walks up to her, "I'll tell you in a little bit" He brings out his cell phone and presses the Metaverse app. And as soon as he does that; the world became distorted and Ann sees the school become a castle.

She starts looking around and sees the sky changed as well making her start freaking out, "W-where the hell are we!? Why did the school turn into a castle!?" She then notices Akira and Ryuji in their rebel outfits and Morgana standing on two legs with a small body with their personas standing behind them; "W-Wait! Is that you Akira and Sakamoto!? And why does your cat have a human body!?" She then looks at the personas; "B-But w-what are those things behind you two!?"

"Well this is the Metaverse." Akira points behind him, "And these are our personas." Arsene bows; "Hello Ann, it's a pleasure to finally meet you properly. My name is Arsene."

This didn't help calm Ann down, "What do you mean by Persona!? Not only that! They can also talk too!?"

Morgana quickly explains about how the Metaverse takes people's distorted desires and makes them into palaces. Akira explains as well about how their personas are their rebellion selves that they make pacts with to fight against the evils of society which right now was Kamoshida.

Ann slowly to calms down and starts processing what she was told, "So...Kamoshida thinks the school is his castle that he rules over and you guys are going to steal his "heart" that will make him confess his crimes? And you have to fight these shadows with them?" She looks up at the personas; "This is like some kind of dreamish nightmare..."

Akira was impressed by understanding it quickly; "You catch on quick." "But it's still too dangerous for you."

She looks at Arsene, "Seems like it...Um, you said name is Arsene; right?"

"Yes, like I said before, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh, um, it's nice to meet you too. Sorry, it's still just too weird for me..."

"No need to apologize, it's understandable. The other two are Captain Kidd and Zorro."

Ann turns and looks at the other personas. "Oh...I guess it's nice to meet you guys too."

Captain Kidd poses, "Arrr, good to meet you lass."

Zorro bows, "It's great to meet someone as beautiful as you."

She sighs, "This is just so weird; mystical beings and a talking cat. Not only that this whole...Metaverse place." She looks at Akira; "So how do you guys even get to this place?"

Akira shows her the Metaverse app, "By using this app, all we do is say the name, place, and what they think of the place."

"Okay; I think I understand now." She smiles; "Well like I promised, I'll leave you guys alone then since you told me your plan. "He does look great in this outfit though…"

"Thank you. Now then I'll take you back to reality." Akira grabs her hand and presses the app making him and Ann vanish.

"She's so beautiful and smart! Hmm...I think I'll call her...Lady Ann!" "You must make her yours! Her persona must be beautiful as well for me to have!"

Ryuji scratches his head from hearing his desires, "Dude...that sounds creepy." "Ye sound like a desperate land-lover."

Outside the school

Once they appear; Akira lets go of her hand; "Don't worry Ann; we'll make Kamoshida confesses his crimes." "We'll make sure of it."

She smiles at him;"Okay, I trust you completely. Just text me after you steal his 'heart', okay?"

He nods with a smile as well; "Okay I will. You might want stay back a little or you'll just get sucked in again." Ann nods and walks back a little

"She's planning something." "Yeah, she is taking this too well, I'm certain she doesn't have the app though, since Ryuji only got it when he accepted Kidd." "Let's not worry about that. We need to go steal his heart before you get sent to jail." Akira then returns to the Metaverse.

After he left, Ann looks at her phone hoping that her phone has the app as well; "Yeah! It actually does!" She goes to press it but then hesitates because she promised Akira that he would let them deal with it and it would make him think that she didn't trust him but the part of her that wanted to get revenge for Shiho overtook that feeling even though she did feel bad doing it, "I'm sorry Akira...I know I promised but I want to avenge Shiho even if I might get killed doing it..." She then presses it but nothing happens; "Oh yeah...He said the name, place, and what the person thinks of the place." She then holds then phone closer to herself; "Kamoshida, Shujin Academy, Castle." She hears the phone confirm it and then presses the app making her appear in the Metaverse; "This is never not going to be weird..." After she looks around once again; she starts walking towards the castle; "Geez, this is still so weird." She opens one of the giant doors' which surprised her that they weren't heavy, and saw two armored knights patrolling the foyer; "Are those...people? Akira didn't say anything about people." She walks over to one of them, "Excuse me! But have you seen two guys in masks and a cat monster?"

The knight turns around quickly with his sword drawn, "Who are you…princess!?"

The other knight heard them, "Princess! What are you doing here!?"

Ann became confused, "Princess?" They grab her by the arms, "Hey, let go of me!"

"We need to take her to the king!"

"H-Hey! Let go of me! Don't make me hurt you!" They started to march with Ann struggling against them

In a Nearby Room

"Wait Akira! Did you hear that?" Akira stops as well as the other two; "Hear what? Sorry; I'm trying to focus on finding Kamoshida." "I understand that. But it sounds like guards are talking about a princess. It seems like they found her in the foyer and are trying to bring her to Mr. Pink Undies." "Princess?" He has a confused look on his face but then starts thinking; "The only one who would be considered princess here is" His eyes go wide; "Oh crap! Ann's here but she got caught!"

Ryuji was just as shocked; "What!? How in the hell did she even get here though!?" "We shant worry about that! We needs t' hurry 'n find her!"

Morgana shakes his head, "She must've gotten the app somehow!" "We must save our beautiful seniorita right now!"

"Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have told her about the app. I didn't think she would get it. Come on, let's hurry!" "It came from behind us!"

They run back to where Arsene heard Ann last telling them to let her go but they see something different and that it was a pink misted hallway where the gate was once closed but now was opened making them confused.

Akira was the first to recover, "Why is there pink mist only here?" "My guess is as good as yours…but let's not worry about that now."

They continue on to the door at the end of the hallway and go inside. Once they do; they notice pink-skinned girls with only gym shorts on sounding like lustful sex slaves for Kamoshida.

Ryuji looks around in disgust, "Is this what he thinks of the girls on the volleyball team!?" "Even I can nah imagine thinkin' o' lasses like this…"

"This sick bastard!" Akira thinks the same but then notices Ann; "Ann!"

Ann was handcuffed to a tall wooden X-shaped structure by her hands and ankles but she quickly looks at the direction of Akira's voice; "Akira!"

S. Kamoshida looks over at the PT, "Great...you two again. Why don't you just stay gone!" He looks back at Ann, "I can see why you guys got 'my' Ann confused with this one." He starts to laugh, "Are you scared?"

She looks at him in disgust, "So you think this school's your castle, huh? That you're some kind of King!" She looks around, "And this is what you really think of the girls of the volleyball team!? Of Shiho!"

S. Kamoshida looks at him confused, "Shiho? Oh, you must mean that one dumb bitch who tried to kill herself. You know it was your fault since you didn't want to play with me; I went after her instead!"

She looks at him in horror then in anger, "You asshole! Don't you dare blame me for what you did!"

S. Kamoshida laughs hysterically, "I don't get why you're mad at me. It was your fault for not playing with me. Besides...you're the one who went up to me first! ! Trying to seduce me to get her to be first string! So you brought her into this situation!"

Ann eyes go wide and then she looks down in sorrow because he was right. She did go to him so she could get her into the first string, "You're right, it was my fault. I should've just given myself to you…It's what I deserve..."

S. Kamoshida starts laughing again, "Yes! That's the face I wanted to see!"

Akira couldn't take it anymore, "Ann! That's not true! You can't blame yourself for his desires!" He starts to walk towards them.

"Stop right there! Take one more step or I'll kill this bitch!" His guards cross their swords at her neck. But that's when he looks at Joker closely, "Wait...you look familiar..." He then glares at him realizing who he was; "You're the one who blocked my spike! The criminal transfer student! So you actually convinced her to not come to me...Well I'll just get payback against you by letting you see me cut her piece-by-piece!" I'll start with her clothes…"

Fake Ann laughs, "Oh, you're such a pervert!"

"No!" "We have to stop him, Akira!" "Don't you think I know that!"

Ryuji looks at Kidd, "Can't you do something!?" "Ye do know he can see us, savvy?" "Damn it!"

Ann looks down giving up, "So...this is my karma…I'm so sorry, Shiho…"

"Ann! Don't give in to him! You aren't his puppet anymore! There's no reason to not fight back! He's already hurt Shiho and made her almost kill herself! This is your chance to avenge her! You don't deserve this! You are better than him! So show him that you're not his slave anymore! Rebel against him!"

Ann lifts her head slowly; "Akira..." Her eyes develop a look of pure determination from hearing his words, "You're right...I'm tired of being this perverted bastard's puppet!" She then glares at S. Kamoshida; "I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Shiho!" After she says that; she holds head and screams out in pain and that's when they all here a older woman's voice.

"My my...so you finally want to fight back against him. I just can't believe you took this long to realize that he should've been burned alive in a fiery hell-storm by now! All those times he blackmailed you; making you into sound like some sort of object to control instead of living free and happy! But enough of that! Let's just get to the burning and I want to see this man scream in pain while he burns! So let's form a pact so that I can help you make him suffer for your best friend! Because if you can't avenge her, who will!?"

"Yes! I want to form a pact with you! I want to avenge Shiho!"

"Ah, so you accepted the pact? Very well dear! Then let my fires burn your enemies alive!"

That's when a red cat mask with a red leather suit forms onto Ann, "I understand what I must do!" She then breaks out of her handcuffs and runs towards one of the guards then kicks the sword out his hand. She then jumps up and grabs the sword then drops down on her fake self; slicing her in half making her dissipates. Afterwards, she rips off her mask, "I'm not going to be your toy for you to play with anymore! I'm going to send you to hell!" That's when a woman in a Victorian dress comes out with two boys on leashes which she was holding; "I hope you're ready to die; you disgusting man!"

The higher rank guard quickly stands in front of Kamoshida, "I won't let you hurt my King!" He then turns into Belphegor.

Akira walks up to Ann, "You ready; Ann?"

Ann nods to him, "Of course! And thank you for making me realize that I'm not his puppet anymore."

"No, it was all you, you just needed a push. But that was awesome what you did to your fake self."

"Thanks! Now let's kill this demon! Carmen! Burn him!" "With pleasure, dear!" One of Carmen's collared men turns into a fire ball and shoots it at the demon. The demon goes down and they run up to the demon; attacking it repeatedly it until it dies.

After the battle; Akira looks around for Kamoshida, "Damn it; he's gone." "We were too busy fighting." "It doesn't matter; we need his treasure, not him."

"Aw, can't we just burn him? That would be easier and better." "Yeah I would like that better too."

Ryuji looks at her in fear, "Uh...you and your persona are really starting to worry me." "She mighty rattles me bones 'n nah in a good way."

"We can't kill him Ann, I mean we can but we shouldn't." "Yeah, it wouldn't feel right."

Ann sighs, "Alright, fine." She then feels a breeze on her upper chest which makes her look down in confusion seeing that her upper chest was opened. She quickly covers it with her arms, "W-what am I wearing!?" "Why are you covering yourself, dear? Be like me; show off just enough of your "assets" to make them do whatever you want." "I'm not like that though!"

Akira laughs, "Calm down, I can't believe it took you that long to realize what you're wearing, right Arsene?" He looks up at him when he doesn't hear a response, "Arsene?" "…Sorry I can't look over at Carmen."

"Ooooo, who is this fine gentlemen?" Carmen walks over to Arsene, "My my, is someone shy…I like you already." She starts to hug Arsene's arm pressing her chest against it, "Aw, why aren't looking at me? I did say I like you; didn't I?" She then fake gasps, "Do you think I'm ugly…" She starts to cry but unbeknownst to Arsene; they were crocodile tears.

Arsene shakes her head; "No, I don't think you're ugly; I just want to be respectful. But my name is Arsene."

She instantly stops and smiles; "My, aren't you a gentlemen, a pleasure to meet you Arsene." Arsene still wasn't looking at her making Carmen laugh, "It's okay dear; I put my dress straps back on my shoulders so you can look now."

Arsene looks back at her, "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Carmen."

Zorro then speeds walks between them, "I'm a gentlemen too, my princesa! And I must say! Your beauty knows no bounds!"

"Humph, last time I check, gentlemen don't stare at a women's chest unless he is asks to."

"Oh...so you have noticed." Zorro quickly goes back to Morgana.

"Man, talk about awkward."Ryuji says while Kidd just starts crackling.

Leblanc Attic

Akira was laying in bed; "Man, today was interesting. So, what do you think of Carmen?" "Well she's really interesting and um, beautiful." "I wonder though...do personas blush?" "Quiet you" Akira's phone starts ringing and he notices it was Ann calling so he answers it; "Hey Ann, are you doing any better?"

"Yeah, just hearing about what he did to Shiho is still bothering me."

"I wouldn't doubt that; just remember it wasn't your fault."

"I know, but I need to tell Shiho I'm sorry for not noticing though. That's why I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me to visit her?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah; I'm not sure I can face her alone besides you're the only one that knows what me and Shiho have been through with that asshole."

"Alright I'll go with you. I'll call you after I go to the weapons store with Ryuji."

"Thanks Akira." "What's this now? A device to talk to people?" "Didn't you ever see me use this before?"

"Oh; hello; Carmen" "Um...hello, Carmen"

"Oh! Is that Arsene and Akira? You know; my dear Ann was nervous about calling you." "Carmen!"

"Why were you nervous to call me?" "Well this is interesting."

"W-well, I didn't know you if you were busy and I didn't want to bother you..." "Oh come on! You were going on and on about how great he…" Ann instantly hangs up

He removes his phone from his ear and looks at it; "Uh...I think she hung up." "Carmen is a dangerous woman…"

The Next Day

Hospital; Outside of Shiho's Room

Akira and Ann were standing outside the door

"Carmen. Can you please not talk until after I've talked to her?" "I understand dear, I won't talk." "Thank you."

"I won't talk either, Ann"

"Thank you, Arsene"

Akira puts a hand her shoulder, "Are you ready?"

Ann takes a deep breath then releases it, "Yeah...I think I'm ready."

Ann opens the door and they both walk in seeing that Shiho was in the bed still in a coma. She had tubes connected to her and the bruises were still there but there were sighs of them healing. But it still makes Ann break down seeing how she was, "Shiho…I'm so sorry…I should of paid attention to the signs of abuse but I thought you were just getting injured cause of how hard you were training. B-But I swear...I won't come back until I make that bastard confess his crimes…"

Akira puts a hand on her shoulder; "Don't worry; we'll make him pay for his crimes."

She wipes the tears from her eyes and smiles at him, "I know, I just wanted to tell Shiho that I won't come back to visit her unless I make amends for not realizing her suffering sooner by taking down Kamoshida."

He smiles, "Good, well we're already prepared for tomorrow so we can continue our exploration."

"Awesome! We should head back and get ready for tomorrow. Let me just say good-bye." Ann walks back to Shiho's bed and puts a hand over hers, "Bye Shiho...please wake up soon…"

A Week Later

Kamoshida's Throne Room

Akira, Arsene, Ryuji, Kidd, and Ann were carrying the huge crown through Throne Room.

"Man! I can't believe how heavy this shit is!" "Ahoy, don't complain about a huge booty like this!" "If you weren't a pirate, I would have been more confused by that."

"I honestly didn't expect this to be heavy…maybe if a certain Spanish cat would help instead of holding his sword in front of his face marching." "Morgana tell Zorro to help."

"No! A fine gentleman like myself must protect the lady." " I told you...He won't listen…"

Carmen grabs Zorro's tail and set it on fire, "Oops, I must have been too hot to protect...cat."

Zorro starts running around trying to put out the fire until he realizes that he had wind moves.

"Go! Go! Kamoshida Go!"

That's when a volleyball comes out of nowhere and hits the crown out of their hands. The group quickly turns to where the volleyball came from and see S. Kamoshida and Cognitive Ann; "What do you think you idiots were doing!? Taking my precious crown from me!" He then lifts his hand towards the crown and a blue light forms around it making it became small and it now appears in his hand.

Ann glares at her cognitive self and then at Kamoshida; "Is that what you really think of me!? An airhead that worships you!" She says remembering the cheering they heard. "I may be a seductress but I don't care for men like you!"

S. Kamoshida laughs haughtily "Don't you realize it yet!? This school is my castle and you're my queen who will live as my sex slave!"

Joker glares at him; "She will never be!" "You're a disgrace as a teacher and a man!"

He laughs louder, "Why are you getting mad at me for? Shouldn't you be mad at the people who allowed this to happen!?"

Ryuji stomps his foot in anger; "What the hell are you talking about, you prevent!" "Aye, ye son o' a biscuit eater! Ye're nah makin' any sense!"

He scoffs, "All of the volleyball team kept what I was doing to them a secret just cause they had a desire to win! So did the teachers and parents just so they can thrive off of my accomplishments!"

Akira looks down because he was right especially from what he heard from the volleyball team and the teachers, "He's right…" "Akira!" "Remember when we were talking with Mishima? He told us that the other teachers and parents knew about it…but didn't do anything about it. Hell even the volleyball team protected him for their own gains…"

Ann walks by Akira, "Yeah…Shiho was an idiot for saying yes to you and for not saying anything…but I was an even bigger idiot for not realizing her suffering either but that doesn't give you the right to take advantage of your position for your desires!""You treat women as objects to conquer and destroy! You're nothing but a slimy dickhead!"

"What makes you high and mighty huh!? You're just a bunch of worthless people with your pathetic beings! I rule this school with the skills I've earned! What's wrong with using them to get what I want! I'm different from the rest of the humans!"

Ann starts to get fired up, "You're right! You're just a demon who has given in to their desires!" "I will burn your desires to the ground!"

"That's right! I am a demon that controls this world!" He then transforms into a giant naked pink demon with a chalice full of women still sounding like lustful sex slaves.

Ann almost vomits seeing what he had become, "He became even more horrifying!" "This disgusting vile vermin needs to die! Burn it with fire!"

Akira looks at Ann, "You ready to finish this?"

Ann nods, "Yeah! Let's finish this!"

After the battle

Akira walks up to the crown that fell to the ground but S. Kamoshida rushes past him; picking it up. Once he does; he runs to the balcony and tries to find a way to escape.

Ann walks towards him, "What's wrong? Trying to escape? Too bad there's nowhere left for you to go…" "You're even less of a man than you were before."

S. Kamoshida starts to walk backwards towards the balcony in a panick, "I-I was just getting what I deserved for everyone putting their expectations on me!"

That just made Ann angrier, "So...you deserved putting the volleyball team through hell cause you took the volleyball team to the Nationals!? molesting Shiho cause you took the volleyball team to the Nationals!? You deserved to try and make me sleep with you cause you took the volleyball team to the Nationals!? No, the only thing you deserve is death!" "Just tell me dear and I'll burn him alive!"

He falls and starts to crawl backwards, "Please stop! Don't hurt me!"

Ann glares daggers at him, "That's what they said right! They begged you to stop but you didn't listen! So, tell me…why should I!? Carmen, kill him…" "With pleasure! She then turns her two 'boytoys' into fire balls and was about to shoot them when Arsene appears in front of , "Arsene!? What the hell are you doing!?"

"Stopping you from making a terrible mistake!" "Ann! What are you doing!?"

"Getting revenge for Shiho and for everyone else!" "No move out the way Arsene!"

"By being a murderer!? Is that what Shiho would want? No! She would only want Kamoshida to confess his crimes or else she'll blame herself for making you a murderer! Not only that; noone will know about Kamoshida's crimes and it'll make him seem like a victim! So please! Just stand down!"

Ann sighs because she knew that he was right, "Carmen…stop." "But…" "Please...just stop." "Fine." Carmen then makes the fires dissipate.

S. Kamoshida bows to Akira, "T-thank you for stopping her…"

He scoffs, "I didn't do it for you; I did it so you can confess your crimes and to stop her from giving you the easy way out. Now atone for your crimes!"

He nods and stands up, "Yes...I'll return to my body and confess my crimes…" He then throws his crown at Akira which he catches and disappears.

Ann turns to Akira smiling in relief and that it was over, "It's finally over; huh?"

Akira nods smiling as well, "Yeah, we'll just have to wait now." But that's when the whole palace starts shaking

Morgana gasps knowing what was going on; "The palace is starting to crumble since we took Kamoshida's treasure! We need to run now!" "Vamos; Amigos!"

They start running to get out of the palace after their personas go back in their bodies to make it easier for them but soon Ryuji falls because of his bad leg making Akira run back to him and helps him up by grabbing his arm then pulls him up, "Can't leave a bro behind, right?" "You're a good friend, Akira."

"Thanks! Still not used to running. I owe you one!" "Wha' a true, Cap'n!"

They both catch up to the other two and they got out of the castle before it collapses.

Hospital, Outside of Shiho's Room

After Kamoshida confesses his crimes; Akira and Ann go back to the hospital and now they were in front of her hospital room

"So are you still nervous?"

Ann smiles at him, "No; not anymore. I finally get to tell her that it's finally over and that he confessed to his crimes and won't be hurting anyone anymore."

"I'm glad to hear that, now shall we?"

"Yeah, let's go in." Ann once again opens the door but they see that Shiho was in the same state that she was last time only now her bruises had healed; "Hey Shiho; I have something great to tell you."

Shiho's eyes slowly open, "What is it Ann?"

Ann's eyes go wide, "Shiho! You regain consciousness!" She starts crying from happiness, "I'm so glad!"

She smiles, "There's no reason to cry, I'm happy to see you again. I've regain consciousness for awhile now but I just closed my eyes. So, what did you want to tell me?"

Ann wipes the tears from her eyes, "Kamoshida finally confessed his crimes and he won't be hurting anyone anymore."

Shiho smiles, "I'm really glad to hear that."

But then Ann frowns and hesitates for a bit before speaking, "There's something else I wanted to tell you….I was pretending to flirt with Kamoshida so he can keep you on the team."

Shiho frowns, "I'm so sorry Ann, it was my fault that he went after you then…"

Ann quickly grabs her hand, "No, I made the choice to do it. I just wanted to see you happy and achieve your goals."

She looks down, "Ann…there's something I must tell you too. I only took the harassment so that I can be strong for you and not disappoint you."

She nods; "I'm so sorry that I didn't pay attention to the signs especially when you were scared to go to the meetings. But I guess we were both idiots for not saying anything to each other."

Shiho looks back at her and nods; "Let's try to move on Ann and learn from our mistake and not hide things from each other anymore." But she frowns, "I talked to my mother earlier and we decided that after I recover; that I'm going to transfer to another school. We're afraid that what happened to me and what I did will always follow me if I stay at Shujin.

Ann nods even though she was internally sadden by the news, "I understand and I still want to help in your recovery somehow."

Shiho smiles, "Thank you, Ann." She looks over at Akira who was standing by the door, "Oh! You're the transfer student; sorry but I never got your name..."

Akira walks up to them, "It's okay. I'm Akira Kurusu."

Ann puts a hand on his shoulder, "He's the reason that Kamoshida confessed and he helped me through all of it!"

Shiho looks at Akira appreciatively, "Really? Thank you for helping us."

"You're welcome. I'm sorry that I couldn't stop him earlier..."

"Don't say that! You stopped him that's all that matter...ugh..." She then holds held her head, "I'm sorry guys...But I still feel kinda woozy."

Ann nods, "Okay! Will get going then. Get some rest Shiho."

"I will and come visit me whenever."

"Of course; I will! Bye now!"

"Bye!"

They leave the room and Ann looks up smiling; "I'm so glad that she's regain consciousness. It feels like a heavy weight has finally gotten off my chest from telling her that Kamoshida is gone and telling her the truth." She then hugs Akira, "And it's all thanks to you…" "Oh, what's this now? Someone is appreciative."

Akira reels back a little not expecting the hug, "Um...it wasn't just me; Ryuji helped too." "You helped her personally." Arsene whispers.

She lets go of him, "Yeah, but I'm talking about personally. You stopped me from making a terrible mistake, you gave me the strength to fight back against Kamoshida, and you stopped me from killing his shadow that would have made him unable to confess his crimes. You really are a great friend." "Aw, that is so sweet."

He rubs his neck sheepishly, "Well I don't know what to say to that but thank you." "I think you just did."

She giggles, "You just did say something about that; you goof!"

Akira smiles hearing her giggling, "I'm glad you're happy again."

"So am I! But I really do need to change myself." She coughs nervously, "So...I was wondering if you would help me with that?" "You better; darling!" Carmen says threateningly

Akira laughs, "Relax Carmen, I will." "That's good to hear; Akira."

Ann smiles big hearing him agree, "Thank you…um, do you want to get something to eat?"

Akira nods, "Yeah; I am kinda hungry. So; let's go."

They start walking to the entrance but Ann was thinking about what she was feeling about Akira. "You like him more than a friend, don't you?" Carmen whispers. "I do...but right now; I want to focus on Shiho's recovery and to improve myself first before I confess to him. But I know with him helping me...that I will be able to accomplish anything." "Well he is a fine gentleman and Arsene will finally be a man worthy of my seduction." "Just don't go too overboard." "No promises."
