Shujin Academy Hallway
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Corruption}
Akira and the others stood in horror as they saw the student's slump like they had lost their energy and lack any sort of enthusiasm, they look tired, most of them lay down next to the lockers.
"What the heck?" Ryuji gawk at the site.
The rest of Phantom Thieves of Hearts witness what they are seeing; the hallway was covered in grayness color (almost like in a horror movie), several open gaps of lavender form on the wall and on the floors. The enthusiasm the students were having died down, showing but utter exhaustion.
"Pan, do you know what happens to them?" Makoto asks the school girl.
"And why do I feel like we are in a horror film?" The blond blurted out.
"I-I think they're sick," Pan shivered.
"Pan, you should get out of her and call for help," The Student body President ordered.
The School girl nodded, "I-I do it right away Madam President, be careful."
"You too, and thanks."
And with that Pan took her leave from to exit.
After the girl ran for help a tall man with glasses walked forward, he wore a white suit with a tie black dress pants and shoes. His head hunch down, arms dangling as he walked and his skin was gray with lavender markings on his face.
"Wha- Mr. Kuwabara?" Ann ask. She was stunned.
"Isn't that the Substitute Teacher from music class?" Yuskue inquired.
"Yeah that's him but why? He was so nice regardless of who he was."
"Well, he looks like a Corrupted Adult now..."
"How could this happen?"
"What are you kids mumbling about?" The black haired music teacher mumbled, his voice was warped. The man looked up at the teens, "And why is your Performa not drained? All well, I don't care all that matters that I must for full my mission. If you excuse me?" He turned on his heel.
"Wait Mr. Kuwabara don't you recognize us?"
THe man twitched almost violently, "What? I can't have meddling kids interfere with the affairs of the almighty fell dragon."
"What are you talking about, what dragon?" Makoto demanded.
"Kasumi, I have to get her back, I need more Performa... Kasumi... AAAAHHHHH!" The teacher clutched his head and howled about his deceased wife. The teenagers were covering their ears at the Adult man's scream. The music teacher's body was like it was having an episode before running away like a mad dog.
"That guy is out of his gourd," Ryuji rubbed his ears.
"Come on, we have to follow him!" Haru said.
"You guys go on ahead I'll catch up to you guys soon. I'm going check up on the students. Let me know if you if I find anything."
"All right."
Morgana already having secants thoughts about this but the cat reluctantly followed the kids.

Daitamba Observatory 1:34 pm
{PlayTokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - uptown}
The large crowd entered inside the big Observatory, Futaba and Takana were among them. The hacker has never been to this place before, then again she never been out for most of her life. "Sometimes I can't believe I'm out and about outside my room, I hope it's worth it..." Futaba shook it off, "Come on Futaba keep it together, remember you're here to for fill your dreams and have fun."
The girls found several posters of various Idols, including Kiria, Futaba took one pitcher of Kiria's poster on her phone so that she can share it on social media.
"Hey Takana, do you know where we can get to the back stage area?"
The Headsets girl was texting on her phone, "Huh did you say something?"
"Uh, yeah I needed to go to the back stage to apply for a job, you did say you would help me," Futaba narrowed her eyes at the younger girl.
"Right," Takana hang up her phone, "Follow me." Futaba followed the girl.
The orange haired girl notice the extra security in the otherwise funfair Idol convention, "Any idea why there more cops here?"
"Beats me, maybe they're here to stop the bad guys."
"Really? What kind of bad guys?"
The headsets girl shrugged "Any bad guys I guess. I don't know, I'm not a news person."
"Hmmm, maybe they're here to protect Kiria-Sempai..."
"Or Rise Kujikawa, she's a lot more famous than Kiria, you know."
"Yeah but Kiria is cooler than her."
"Meh, I'm just stating facts."
"Oh!'Stating facts' huh? Quality versus quantity I suppose," The fifteenth-year-old girl laughed.
"Whatever, it's not like I was a big fan of Rise."
"Yeah, you're only here to support your dad right?" Futaba smiled.
"Maybe," The eleven-year-old headset girl shrugged, "and other stuff like backstage food."
"Ah, of course!" Takana rolled her eyes in response to the girl stranger.
...
While Goro was next to the HE-HO booth he observed the crowd of Idol fans. Yesterday he was a task with finishing up his research regarding the mass disappearance; last night he went back to the closed opera in hope to find something important. What he found was a hair ornament worn by the missing actress, Ayaha Oribe. Which is kind of odd because it was never there before he suspected that someone is giving him a clue. At least he gave his final report to Cheif Sae-
"YO GORO-KUN!" Detective Kamui slapped him on his back.
He jumped and turned around, "Kamui what the-"
"Never thought I see you here, I guess boss lady assigned you on guard detail." The blond girl grinned.
"Not entirely true, I'm here on a mission," Goro maintained his composter after being started by his bubble college.
"Ah, so you really are on guard detail," she smirked at her friend.
The brown haired young man sighed "Pretty much, yeah. But it could serve me well for my original case."
"Which involves the Phantom Thieves of Hearts," Kamui concluded, "I don't see them showing up in a place like this. Besides they wouldn't be caught dead with a lot of us around- wait a minute!"
"What is it?"
Kamui pointed an accusing finger up close to his nose, Goro blinked in surprise, "You're not here for your original case, you're here on guard detail and nothing more! I remembered now Sae telling me about it. I bet you also want to ask fabulous Rise out on a date too!"
"What? N-no!" Goro blushed, he raises his hands in defense.
Kamui smirked at him once more, she crosses her arms "Oh, it the kung fu Idol then."
"No."
"The Ice Queen Idol Iffy?"
"C-cut it out!"
She laughed, "Alright, alright I'll stop. I bet you want to know why I'm here too."
"Well, I've always wondered about that..."
Kamui joyful expression turned serious, she signaled him to the glassed windows.

{Play Persona 4 OST - Reasoning}
"Last night, when I came to Ivo's house for questions I found him dead on the floor. He shot himself in the mouth."
Goro was stunned by this, "Isn't he one of the senior members of the dragon triad?" Kamui nodded.
"It happens hours before I came to visit, we don't know why killed himself though. I did however found a clue in his room, he painted a red symbol on the wall, and the symbol in question had six eyes."
"I see."
"That's not all, I got a tip off from someone who works at the harbor that all of the fell dragon triad's members have arrived back here in Japan. Apparently, there are pretty spooked about something."
"What could they be afraid of?"
Kamui shrugged, "I don't know yet, but I can tell you right now that they don't want to get pinch by some higher force. I'm trying to figure this out myself so don't ask. Well, long story short my mission had to lead me here!"
"Really? hmm."
{Stop Persona 4 OST - Reasoning}
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - uptown}
"Yup, well anyway, I'm gonna have some fun now that you're here," Kamui was back to her silly self.
"And on whose athruoty? Wait, did Chief made us partners..?"
"Maybe, ask Sae-san yourself," The female blond Detective strolled on out to the crowd and dance to the music that was playing from the loud speakers, leaving Goro behind.
"It just had to be me," Goro Akechi shrugged and joined the crowd.
The backstage
This area was bristling with business men, sound designers, and entertainers. By the looks of things it looks like they are rehearsing but no sigh of Kiria and the other Idols. If memory served correctly they were to be here at 2:30 pm, which is unfortunate since Futaba wanted to see her Idol in person again.
"Wow, look at this place," Takana commented.
The headset girl snapped out of her thoughts, "Yea, looks kind of busy around here."
"Hey, what are you kids doing here?" A male staff walked up to the two girls. The said girls turned around to face the man.
Takana held out her V.I.P card in front of the man, "I'm Takana Raijin. I came to see my dad, he's the sound designer for this event."
"Oh, your Hideki's kid well alright then," the staff turned toward the older girl, "How about you miss?"
"Um, yeah, I'm here to meet a Miss Maiko Shimazaki for a job interview?"
"Name?"
"Futaba Sakura," the orange haired girl bowed.
The staff member checked on his clip board, "Let see... yep, you're on the listing. Wait in the snaking area, Ms. Shimazaki will be here when she gets here."
Futaba's face brighten, "Oh well that's great then! Thank you so much, sir."
"Sure, no problem." the staff man said.
Takana waved at the older girl, "Good luck with that interview."
"Thanks and good luck having fun."
...
15 minute later.
There was a table with a large plate of cheese cubes, a bowl of crackers, sushi and punch. Futaba stuffed her face with sushi while she waited.
"You seem to be enjoying the food."
Futaba almost jumped as she heard foots steps from behind, with wide eyes she turn on her heel only to see a woman with black hair tied in a bun, and blue eyes. She has a beauty mark below her left eye. She wears a white collar shirt slightly unbuttoned, a blue blazer, black zipper mini skirt, and white high heels. She also wears red glasses and golden necklaces.
The headset girl swallow her meal and stood in attention, "A-are you Ms. Shimazaki?"
"That's right, and you must be-" the older woman asks.
"My names is Futaba Sakura, I'm fifteenth years old, pleased to meet you! I'm here to apply for a job." The girl bowed.
Makio blinked in surprise.
"S-sorry I should have let you finish." the girl was apologetic to the CEO.
The CEO laughed, "Well the introduction wasn't needed so It's quite alright. You know my girl Kiria has been talking all about you yesterday, she told me that you have a certain potential."
"She actually mentions me!? I mean yes of course, ha ha ha aha."
Makio chuckled, "Indeed. Well let's get this show on the road," the CEO signaled Futaba to followed her.

Idolasphear
{Play Unseen Intruder (Game Version) - Final Fantasy XII-2 OST}
Akira and the gang followed Mr. Kuwabara through a strange portal which then led them to a strange place, it's certainly isn't the place but a new twisted version of their school. The teens put on their metaverse costumes before travailing deep within Idolasphear.
Ryuji at first had protested about going through the portal, Morgana had agreed but add that they can't leave the students deprived of their energy for long.
Ann couldn't believe that there are other worlds other than the Palace, it seems almost strange but kinda scary at the same time. King had mentioned that his kind lives here in this world and that some could be hostile? Hopefully, they'll meet some Mirage that is harmless, unlike every Shadow they come across.
Akira, Yusuke, and Haru had expressed concern about Mr. Kuwabara being corrupted to their friends. There was a little discussion within the group about the lack of enemy encounters while they traveled deep with in - they just resized that they have somehow ended up in a dark city it reminded them of Tokyo but more twisted, the on top of every tall buildings (with hospital & midnight signs) lighted up what it appeared to be torched with blue flames. The sky was covers in red black clouds and an orange Moon in the sky.
The city seems deserted but this place is not all unpleasant, there was a poster on the 109 building of a beautiful girl with waist length light blue hair with crimson eyes in a light blue beautiful dress, the pitcher shows the girl clamping her hands together and sing.
"Well, at least Futaba-Chan isn't here right now," Haru spoke.
"Yeah, lucky her... Yo Morgana, who's that cute blue haired girl on the poster?" Ryuji took a snap shot of the girl in the poster.
Morgana looked up at the poster, "Oh gee Blondie, I don't know. What am I, a human dictionary?"
"Hey, I'm only asking, and thought you knew everything," he retorted.
"I'm what you call an expert on those things, I know a lot about Shadows & Mirage but I don't know who the heck this blue haired chick is."
Yusuke took a look at the poster with interest in his eyes, "Maybe an important figure to this world."
"Yeah, she could be an Idol or a Princess," Ann said.
"I'm betting that she's a Princess, you don't see any girl wear something like that these days." Ryuji ginned.
"Or she could be a god," Haru added.
"I highly doubt that."
The teens turned around surprised to see the blue ghost with the top hat again, "What- what are you doing here? Have you been following us?"
King sweat dropped, "Oops, my bad! But I wasn't safe in that school. So now, the Lord of all Mirage, would like to ask you for your protection."
"We're not body guards," Akira said bluntly.
The Casper studded, "But what if I can pay you with crystals?"
The big head small body anthropomorphic cat, Morgana's eyes sparkled in excitement, "Did you just say crystals?"
"That's right! I can pay you lot with crystals!" The blue showed a small pouch with a pitcher of a blue gem. "It's only going to be a short while so don't you worry, kay? I will find a safe haven for myself after you deal with the corrupt man."
Akira thought about for a moment, he then shrugged "Alright you got yourself a deal."
King's face brighten, "Thanks a bunch sir!" the pouch then floated on to Morgana's eager paws.
"Cha-Ching!" Morgana happily twirled around with the pouch.
"Don't forget we have to take care of unfinished business," The French girl pointed out.
"Well duh, I knew that."
"You."
The Phantom Thieves of Hearts turned around to see Mr. Kuwabara in the flesh.
"How did you follow me to hear? It's not possible! Now lady Aversa will be pissed at me if she finds out that you Phantom Thieves just happens to waltz right in the portal. Now I will never-" the man clutched his head. "Crap! She already knows I have to find a way out of here!" and with that, the musician teacher took off.

The back stage
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - downtown}
Futaba felt the pressure has been lifted as she had just finished her interview with Makio Shimazaki. The teen girl has performed well as of any interview, at least in her opinion anyway.
"I'm very impressed, Futaba."
"So um, does that mean I get the job?"
"Let's see; you wrote a well-detailed background on your resume and since Kiria had vouched for you I could give you a part time position."
Futaba face brighten, as her heart skipped a beat, "Y-you really mean it?"
The woman laughed, "Yup. But don't think of it as nepotism-"
"OH MY GOD, YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" The younger girl jumped around in joy.
Maiko was taken by surprise at the girl but couldn't help but smile, Futaba almost reminded her the time when she was cute beauty queen teenager, man it's been quite a long time. The CEO cough in one hand.
The headset girl instantly stop, and stood attention like a soldier, "Sir- I mean Ma am?"
"Keep it in mind this is only a part time position which involves assistant programming," the CEO adjusted her glasses, "For what I understand you have been studying hard on the field."
"Completely understand Mrs. Maiko. I'm just happy I can get to work with my Idol," the girl grinned.
"And who doesn't. Whelp I'm gonna let you have your fun, I expect you to show up at Fortuna HQ Tomorrow. Only because I want you to meet a special person, she's around eight years old."
"Sure thing Mrs. Maiko and thank you!" Futaba waved at her new boss and turned on her heel and jogged out but something stopped her. She felt nervous going out by herself again, darn it, she was doing so well at being independent for once! She went out of her way to get hired and work with her Idol. Maybe she will feel better if Kiria was with her or her boss.
She turned back to Maiko and walked up to her boss, "Um, Mrs. Maiko." she adjusted her glasses.
"Hm? Oh, you can call me Maiko or Maiko-san if you want sweetie." the busty woman smiled at the younger girl.
The girl's cheeks showed a shade of pink and twiddled her fingers "Um, Maiko-san is it possible if I hang out with you until my friends or Kiria-Sempai show up?" Futaba found herself staring at her boss's large cleavage, she quickly looked away.
Maiko giggled at the girl's stare.
"Sure, it's not every day I get to meet an adorable and brilliant young lady who is also passionate about Kiria! Come I'll show you the ropes."
Futaba's face was filled with joy, "Thank you, Maiko-San, I really appreciate it!"
Daitamba Observatory. 2:20 PM
Kiria had finally made it to Daitamba, having completed her studies & finish Tiki's briefing, she is now ready to meet with her fans and meet up with her boss. For the event; her Mom braids her long hair, she wore a dark purple strapless dress under her unbutton green street jacket and high heels purple shoes.
The security personnel had recognized the Idol and let her pass through the back door to the back stage.
"Hey, Kiria-chan you made it!"
The New Idol caught a glimpse of a familiar pig tail haired brunette girl in a blue prom dress running up to her.
"Hello Rise, it's nice to finally see you in person, you look great!" Kiria smiled.
"Thanks! You don't look bad yourself!" Rise said cheerfully.
Kiria laughed, "Thank you."
The girls talk about silly stuff for about five minutes; topic's range from music, movies, and their fans. Rise has expressed a little worried about the tight security, Kiria shared the same feeling but they ultimately brushed it off.
"If something bad ever happens on a supernatural level I'll let you know, Kiria-chan."
The sixteen-year-old nodded, "So anyway whereas Maiko-san?"
Rise blinked, "Oh, um, Maiko-san's outside the back stage with some girl she just hired, for that 'Utaloid' software project. She wore glasses she told me her name is Futaba Sakura."
"Maiko-san actually hired her? Too bad for Tharja." Kiria laughed, could hear her Mirage partner said 'LAME' in her mind.
"Who's Tharja?"
"My Mirage Partner."
"OOOh right, right! I keep forgetting these things..."
"Well, let get going. We don't want to keep Maiko waiting."
"Yup!"

Idolasphear.
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Demonic}
The man ran and ran only to realize he was on top of a tall building.
How did he get here?
He panicked but then he remembered his mission. The man sat down on his knees and rises both hands up, a bright purple circle appeared around him small white practical's fly out of the ground in the circle.
This goes on for ten minutes until a black haired woman in a white dress shirt and brown pants appeared in front of him. Kuwabara's eyes widen, "Kasumi, is that you?"
The woman smiled, "That's right my love, come to me."
The school teacher stood up and walked to his presumably dead wife. For what he knows after they were married she died of unknown cases and he was devastated since then.
"Wait, stop!"
The possessed man stops in his tracks, he turned around only to see the Phantom Thieves of Hearts showing up at the scene.
The Woman frowned at the brats, "Don't you kid have homework, leave us alone."
"Well, I guess our reputation perceived as well," Morgana commented.
"How dare you interfere with our affairs? The Performa my husband gathered will help us revive the all-powerful Grima and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Um, what on earth is she talking about?" Haru said out loud.
"I don't know but this woman is probably the one responsible for whats happening to the students," Yusuke said.
"Cool, so now we have our culprit," Ryuji said.
The woman laughed evilly, "And what do you attend to do about it?"
Akira pointed his pistol at her in reply to her question.
"Your threats are meaningless to me," woman turn paid her attention to the possess man, "Come my darling." she extended her hand to him.
"..."
{Stop Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Demonic}
"Darling?"
The teacher shacked like mad, "Something isn't right about this. I don't know what it is."
'Kasumi' walked up to him, and smiled lovely, she places her hand on his chest. The teens gasped in horror as he screamed in pain by the electric surge, lightning shot out of the woman's hand. He then collapsed on the floor afterward.
"Mr. Kuwabara!"
The teacher collapsed on the floor afterward. Particles of white light flew out of his body and to 'Kasumi', she laughed wickedly. "What a pathetic Idiot!"
{Play The 3rd Birthday OST - Cityscapes}
She continued to laugh as she was consumed by the dark mists, it grows large in size, then it exploded. The Phantom Thieves covered themselves from the smog.
"Foolish children have not known the depths they have gotten themselves into! I am Aversa!" Aversa's voice boomed.
The smog was cleared the Phantom Thieves they looked around, they somehow in a new large area and it reminded them of a stage area in a dome, but there is an exit. The teens gasped as they saw the figure of the women consumed in a dark silhouette but her eyes glow like lamps in nightfall.
Akira and the others all become tense.
"I'm afraid I'll have to cut our meeting short, this disguise has served it peruse don't you agree? I must return to my darling Ayaha, she can be a little helpless without me."
The Phantom Thieves became alarmed at the mention of 'Ayaha'.
"Ayaha?" Akira was shocked. "If you mean Oribe Ayaha then where is she?" he demanded to the dark figer. Aversa made a sadistic laugh.
"My, my, I didn't think a Phantom Thieve to care about an Idol why of course I was talking about Oribe Ayaha. Humph. To bad I can't tell you where she is, handsome." She sneered.
"Wow a month later and now we learn that Idol is still alive and strait from the horses mouth. I'm not surprise in the slightness," Morgana shot a glare at the Shadow being for kidnapping his partners relative.
"Yep, were going to have to give you the beat down unless you tell us now," Ann got her whip ready.
"You better believe it lady! Now talk," Ryuji agreed.
"I bet you also have something to do with the Mass Disappearance at the Opera last month," Haru accused.
The shadowy being transformed into a Ghastly Orb with long feathered purple wings, two trails of small purple triangles particles fly around the Orb like Saturn rings, "I'm afraid it will have to cut this little discussion short, In the meantime I'll let you play with my pets, they can do the job in gathering Performa from you lifeless corpse!"
And with an evil laugh, she went through the ceiling. The black haired youth gritted his teeth as he looked up.
{Stop The 3rd Birthday OST - Cityscapes}
"Guys look!" Morgana jumped alarmed and pointed.
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Enthralled}
Six creatures that look like purple tops hat (or a horn facing upward) emerge from the gray tiled floors, its four limbs are like purple sashes it wore 60's space gloves and brown Dutch shoes. Their eyes are like white beads that glow.
"Oh man! What are those things?!"
"Take a wild guess blonde, their Aversa's pets! Get ready guys these Mirage types may look funny but they are really tough!" Morgana looked up, his eyes shot up like saucer plates.
More Mirage blobs crawling on the ground like insects. One by one they dropped down and joined the six.
"Looks like they brought in the whole cavalry," Haru loaded her rifle.
"Please, you have to run."
The Phantom thieves paused, blinked, they could have sworn they heard a little girl's pleading voice in their heads.
"Oh great now what?" Ryuji whine.
"That sounded like a little girl. Where is that voice coming from?" Ann said.
To Akira, it didn't sound like Caroline and Justine (or Tsubasa for that matter).
Then suddenly their eyes turned golden as the group's vision was replaced with a image of a person. She appeared to have been a young girl in her preteens. She had a light complexion and medium length green hair tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were the same shade of green. She was dressed in a lavender, spaghetti strap dress that cut off above her thigh. Around her forearms and shins where leather bands wrapped in an X- formation. On her head was a golden tiara with a dragon motif. Around her neck was a lavender collar. Wrapped around her frame was a translucent, pink wrap that fell past her feet. Pinning it together was a strange ornament of some sort. She had pointed ears.
"...Run for the exit, hurry...!" She said urgently. "The Mirage... there too many, please head towards the exit...!"
Their eyes returned to normal as the vision of the green haired girl in pony tail have disappeared and their surroundings back to normal.
"Who was that kid?" Yusuke took off his fox mask, rub his eyes and put his mask back on.
"She looks are kinda like a princess from ancient times," Haru mused. She and others felt different after that experience.
Morgana rubbed his eyes as well, he blinked alarmed at the many more blobs.
"Whelp, the little cute princess got my vote! RUN!" the talking cartoon looking cat thief jumped with flailing arms and took off, like road runner from looney toons, he smash through the door, leaving a hole of his big cat head, small fur body, and tail.
The teens were surprised at Morgana's speed but then they realized the Mirage advancing towards them. Without much of an option: they flee out the dome area.

"Hey Maiko-san," Rise chirped
"My you girls look lovely~"
"Thank you Maiko-San," Kiria smiled.
"We're almost ready for the show and I'm sure Rise told you that I hired your new friend. I hope Tharja wasn't much of a headache about it than I originally thought. So were Futaba? I have been meaning to meet her again."
"You just missed her, she's over at the women's bathroom-"
"Psst Miss Maiko, we're ready," one of the staff whispered.
"Okay, cool. Well, Kiria its time for your Q&A session Ice Queen Iffy on stage so Kiria you go first!"
"Good luck out their Kiria-chan. High Five!"
Kiria nodded. She and Rise did a high five.
{Stop Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Uptown}
"Welcome, my fellow subjects!" the young female host of the show boomed loudly, stepping onto the stage. She was in her mid-teens with white & pink shoulder length hair and blue eyes and wore a sleeveless white dress with a golden crown. Her appearance made her look like she's royalty, "Welcome, to One of Millennium! I am your host, Queen Iffy! Today we are going to have our very own Rise on stage, but first I'll be speaking with a special lady who has made a huge splash on the Music charts!"
That cry alone was enough to raise a chorus of screams.

Meanwhile, Futaba was at the women's bathroom washing and drying her hands, "Man that Pyro Jack Soda goes right through me..."
"Everybody, please give it up for Kiria Kurono!" The voice boomed through the bathrooms walls. Futaba jumped in shock, "Crap! She's here, my Idol is actually here!" she was about to go out but suddenly she heard her phone ringing, the hacker grunted annoyed, she pulled out her phone from her green jacket.

Futaba: Mako-Chan, can I talk to you later? KIRIA is on stage right now!
Makoto: I very sorry but just wanted to check to see if you're alright.
Futaba: I was fine until you called. What the heck could it possibly be for you to texts me in a time like this? I'm in the bathroom and I'm missing her big talk live! X(
Makoto: Well I'm glad you're at one piece. I don't mean to disturb you but we got a bad situation at school, something supernatural. And get this it has nothing to do with Shadows this time. But the school is being hunted by new ghost monsters.
Futaba: What, ghost monsters?
Makoto explains to Futaba on what's been happening at the school, she evening told her about the blue ghost in a top hat, for about five and the half minutes.
Futaba: Okay well that's wired like the Shadows are bad enough already, now we got to deal with... a ghost?
Makoto: They're called Mirage actually.
Futaba: Whatever, when do you think they'll be back?
Makoto: The sooner the better. I'm going in after them you should stay with Kiria it'll then.

"Per.. from.. ma.."
"No, no way! I'm not ready to die!" She screams in her mind, she was grip with fear but she found the resolve to sprint out the bathroom.

Futaba ran up to the crowd, she heavy painted after her sprint, "That must be those thing's Mako-chan was talking about..." Futaba can still since the dark prescience looming around the observatory, "I should- No, I can't leave! What if something bad happens to everyone here? And what if something bad happens to my Idol?" Futaba thought as she looked up to see Kiria wrapping up her O&A with Ice Queen Iffy.
"Give it up for KIRIA!" Iffy hollered through the mike.
The crowd erupted with chores after Kiria waved and smiled at them.
The fifteenth-year-old girl, "Aw man... I missed it! Kiria-Sempai looks so amazing though," she then realized something, "Holy Cow! I just got hired I should meet her right away!" Futaba ran to the back stage.
The back stage
Futaba ran through the back area, she was passed Takana and her father, she gave them a brief wave of hello. She then bumped into a couple of security men in black suits.
"Hey, miss, where the fire?" the cop asked.
"It's alright fellas, I work with Mrs. Maiko."
The other security man laughed, "Yeah right, little girl, like I would believe that! Why don't you just run along?"
Her right eye twitched dangerously, "Little girl? I'm 15 years old!"
Three security bust out laughing at the girl. Futaba felt her hands shaking into a fist.
"HEY!" The three cops then jumped at the sound of Maiko's voice from behind them, "Mrs. Maiko!" They bowed.
Maiko Shimazaki put her hands on her hip with a stern expression, "That girl you are talking to is with me."
"I-is she your daughter?"
The CEO crosses her arms, "She is my new employee! Anyway, what are you yahoos doing here?"
"We've been sent by Sae Niijma for extra security."
The busty woman narrowed her eyes, "I find that hard to believe. Now scram." The men bowed and took their leave as they were told, pass Futaba. Maiko walked up to the girl.
Futaba scratch the back of her head and made an apologetic smile, "Um, thanks for the save Maiko-san."
Maiko felt relieved, "No problem. So you got over your wozing problem?" she teased.
"Yeah, um, I'm sorry I almost threw up! But I'm (as) strong as an ox now!" Futaba laughed.
"Good, glad to hear!" Maiko at her.
"Maiko-san whats going on?" Kiria walked up to her boss. Futaba was caught by surprise in seeing her Idol face to face again, Kiria was just as surprised as her.

"Hey, Kiria you did a pretty cool job out there!"
"Um, thanks. But I think Iffy is a little pushy with the questions..."
"EEP! Kiria-Sempai, you're still here! OMG!"
The Idol turned her attention towards Futaba "It's good to see you again. And congratulations on getting that job," Kiria smiled.
"Thank you! I'm very hype for this job!" she bowed, "Sorry that I didn't get a chance to watch your Q&A Session!"
"Eh, it's quite alright," Kiria laugh.
"Oh really?" Futaba teased, "I'm going to watch all of that stream online when I get home!"
Kiria shrugged, "It should be uploaded on our website."
Futaba giggled, "You look so awesome in that dress by the way."
"Um, thanks, I-"
Kiria, Maiko, and Futaba then felt a dark prescience, Kiria, and her boss becomes tense while Futaba paused in fear. The orange haired girl looked at both women's expression, just as she felt the evil power, could they since it too?

{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Corruption}
"Kiria you should check what's up," the girl nodded to her supervisor.
"Tharja and I will be careful," Kiria looked at Futaba, she can tell that she can feel it too. She gave Futaba a reassuring smile and took off.
"Hey Futaba-chan," the orange haired girl snapped out of her fear. "Y-yes, Maiko-san?"
"Do you have someone picking you up?" recalling what Maiko had learned from Futaba earlier.
"My friends did say that they would come but something caught up so there going to be late." Futaba answered carefully, "Why did you want to ask?"
Maiko tried to pick her words carefully, but... she doesn't want to lie to her and beside Tiki had spoken about Futaba in her vision.
"This may sound a little crazy," She paused for a moment, "But, are you familiar with stranger things that have been happening recently? Have you heard of the Mirage?"
"A what?" The headset girl blinked in surprises.
Kamui and Goro were with the crowd, they watch Rise finish off her song, and they all erupt with cheers.
Rise smiled and waved at the crowd after finish her song.
Iffy came on stage she shack hands with Rise, "Wow that was amazing, Rise-chan~ Rise the World, best song ever! And now for the grand finale."
"Oh, Crap..." Futaba shivered. The information provided by Maiko was rather scary, she (& probably others) thought they knew what they're up against and strange stuff that's been going on since last month in Tokyo but Maiko just confirmed the existence of other new monsters, other than Shadows. She may not believe her boss if not for the fact that Makoto has already told her what's been going on at the school and the fact that there is a ghost grim reaper in the bathroom.
"Tell me about it." Maiko's brows frowned, "I'm surprised you're taking this well." she put her hand on her hip.
Futaba laughed heartily out loud, "Call me a super national witch- well I'm not an actual witch but just a perso- I mean just plain nerd!"
"Oh, cool so you knew about the Mirage."
"Well, my friend has already told me about them moments ago."
Before they can speak more about the subject both Maiko and Futaba felt the dark prescience getting stronger follow by screaming. Futaba became tense when she felted the dark power again, "It's coming from the stage. That could never be a good sign." Futaba looked around for the stage entrance.
Maiko caught notice by this, now this is intriguing Futaba can sense Mirage like her, Kiria and Barry even knowing the current source. A doesn't of cops with their guns showed up and ran past the busty Woman and the headset Girl.
The CEO took a brief glance at the cops that pass by them.
"Maiko-San can I be excused? Something has come up."
Maiko gave her a worry expression but nodded, "Alright, but you be careful now."
"I will Maiko-san thank you," Futaba bowed and took off to where Kiria had run off too. Maiko gave off a sigh, "Looks like she's head towards the stage area... I hope she's okay."
The crowd flees in panic as the cops surround the Ice Queen, she was hovering over the unconscious Rise.
"Hold it! In the name of the law!"
Iffy turned around and giggled at the men, her eyes flash golden yellow, "So much for that extra security fellas. Do you really think you actually have the chance to stop us?"
Ice Queen raised her hand and number of red cloaked Phantoms appeared swooping in. The cops got detracted in panic and tried to aim their gun at them.
"What a shame," Possessed Iffy looked down at Rise Kujikawa, "Look at you you've stolen my one true title for being such a pretty face and yet they have not of known your true colors!" She sneers.
Seven Law enforcers where eventfully over powered by the Phantoms and fell down one by one. Iffy smirked in satisfaction she turned back to the unconscious Rise, "Well guess there's no one else to stop me from taking your Performa, Rise!"
"Don't count on it!"
Iffy's eyes widened, she looked to see some girl in a detevie costume jumped down and pointed her gun at the Ice Queen.
"I'm sorry who are you?"
"I'm from the police department and you are under arrest!" Kamui held out her badge.
"Oh no, I'm terrified. What are you gonna do to me officer!?"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." the detective countered.
"You're surrounded give it up," Goro walked up the crazy girl from behind, the said crazy girl glanced at him before turning her whole body to him. Kamui took the moment to tackle the Ice Queen.
Kiria watched snuked away as she allowed the two detective's do their thing even those it was bound to fail. She had to find a way for them to distract her long enough for her to snag Rise out of there. She can only watch for the opportunity till then.
"Psst! Kiria," Kiria flinched she turned around to see Futaba standing there from behind her, "F-Futaba what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help."
"B-but it's not safe! You could get hurt or worse." Kiria can hear Tharja chuckle at her.
"I know but it looks like the cops are going to be needing a helping hand and besides, you're my Idol and I want to keep you safe. Don't worry about me I'll be fine."
Kiria blinked in surprised but nodded, "Alright do you have anything in mind to help us get Rise out of there?" The Orange haired girl smirked at her beloved Idol in response to her question.
Kaumi fell backward to the ground, she quickly got up, rubbing her back, "Dang, she's tough. She got to be a Witch or something," Kaumi cursed as Goro ran to her side.
Iffy frowned at them, "Wow I'm impressed. You both got the spirit, more so than those bozos, which is why I'm going to take it from you! Your Performa will be greats for the ritual, long Live Grima!"
Goro and Kamui flinched as Iffy was about to finish them off but before she was about to have the chance a silver ball rolled over the middle of the stage. It exploded into a smoke screen, it covered the whole stage and Iffy cannot see.
"You gotta be kidding me with this!" Ice Queen Cast out a wind spell to clear out the smoke only to find no one there at the stage. "What? No way!"
More cops showed up and aimed their guns at the possessed girl, "You know what, I'm done playing around but my boys were love to have fun with you," She raised her hand once more.
Iffy's eyes winden, "...Huh? Where are they? Ah forget it! I'm out of here, see ya losers!" And with that she vanish in a purple smoke.

The Back Stage.
Maiko's office.
{Play Persona 5 OST - Wicked Plan}
Rise regain her conscious as her vision adjusted, "Huh... Maiko, Kiria? Where am I?" the brunette sat up from the couch she notices the orange haired girl, that she was introduced to earlier, was in the room with them as well.
Kiria sighed in relief, "Thank god you're alright."
"Thanks for saving me Kiria," Rise brows frowned.
"Yoou don't look very happy, is there something wrong Rise?" Maiko ask.
"Just a little shaken but there's nothing to worry about," Rise smiled.
"You were unconscious," Maiko pointed it out, "and there was no sign of you getting the beat down so..."
Rise sighed, "She was Queen before me, and she was never like this. Iffy was trying to mess with my head but she couldn't get anything out of me, I guess I passed out afterward."
"Then it's got to be the Mirage," Maiko concluded.
"You think?" Kiria rolled her eyes.
"Aww Kiria why are you so mean to me all of the sudden~" Maiko whine like a ten-year-old girl, "Nah, I'm just joshing with ya's!" she grinned.
Kira faces deadpan at her supervisor's silly antics while Rise looked at them confused.
The three females then heard a knock on the door, "Come in!" Maiko called out. It was a Staff, Takana's father, which came in.
"Oh, Raijin how are things?" Maiko smiled.
"The People are safe but some of the officers are being treated as we speak." Mr. Raijin said.
"I see. Well thank you for the info, I'm sure we'll get this thing sorted out," Maiko reassures, "You can go about your business."
Mr. Raijin nodded, "Sure thing boss." and walk out the room.
"I'm sorry that it didn't go out as it was planned," Rise said sadly.
"No, It's totally not your fault."
"Yeah but-"
"Hey we all knew this was going to happen, so don't beat yourself over it. All it matters now is how we're supposed to do about it."
Rise smiled at Kiria and Maiko, "Thanks, guys. I really needed it."
"Well now. Now that it's all settled I think there should be a door why in the Idolaspear." Maiko said.
Futaba blinked at her boss, as she walked in "Idolaspear...? Oh! that's where all the Mirage come from right?"
"Correct, my dear!"
"Heh, heh, I'm still not used to this whole Mirage thing going on but, I'm going to try my best!" "And hopefully help my friends," The hacker thought.
"That's the spirit!" Maiko cheered.
Futaba wasn't sure how to react to this. She then felt a warm soft hand touching her right bare shoulder, she glace to see Kiria next to her which caused her to slightly shiver.
"Don't mind Maiko, she's on her mood swings again."
"No, no, it's no trouble with me!" Futaba laughed heartily.
Maiko could help but smile at the girls, but then she then turns to Kiria, "Kiria its time go to the gate and find Iffy." Kiria nodded and headed out the door.
Futaba watches her Idol leave the room she turned to her boss, "Maiko-san can I be excused?"

Illusionary Daitamba.
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Illusionary Daitamba}
Kiria walked through the portal, she looked around. Tharja appeared beside Kiria, "Well, well, well, I thought we never get to the good part of our journey."
"Well, not the time to talk either. Come on, let's go and find Iffy."
"If you say so...," Tharja chuckled.
The Mirage Master followed the linear path, that pathway has boom boxes line up in rows and playing a cringe worthy techno song, she and Tharja ignored it and persisted to walk down the path.

{Play The 3rd Birthday OST - Triumph OF Wing}
She ended up in a wide open space and encountered a group of Hostile Mirage: Two Paldden Knights and two blobs.
"Alright, Tharja it's time. Carnage Form!"
In a flash of light Kiria's dress changed into her carnage form. She attacked first by launching blizzard at the blobs before they could attack. The attack froze the blobs in a place like Ice cubes.
The two Knights then charged at her but Kiria jumped high and cast out meteor shower at them, the spell destroyed the two blobs, but not the Knights but got damaged by the fire.
"Try lightning," Tharja said as Kira cartwheeled dodge the bigger Mirage's slash attack. Kiria nodded, she spun-ed her staff creating an electric surge of energy on both tips, this caught the two killers Mirage to notice. The Paldden Knights charged at her but the Mirage Master back-flip jumped and in midair, she tossed her scepter like a spinning wheel. Her attack plowed through and destroy the remaining attackers.
She landed on the group, her scepter returned to her hand like a boomerang. Kiria sighed in relief as she was consumed in a flash of light, her outfit change back to her unbutton green street jacket and strapless grape colored dress.
{Stop The 3rd Birthday OST - Triumph OF Wing}
Suddenly, Kiria realized she wasn't alone, she turned to Futaba with a shocked look.
Futaba Sakura gave her the same looked as well but she was more star struck.
...
"How did you get here?"
{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Comedy}
"O.M.G! Kiria-sampai that was amazing! You've just gone full sentai on those things! How did you do that!?" Futaba flailing her arms in excitement and up close in personal to the Idol.
"Um, could you give me some space-?"
"You are a real Sentai, right? Tell me, tell me, tell me!" Futaba clamps her hands together and sparkled those eyes at Kiria.
"C-cut it out, I'm..." Kiria blushed and took two steps backward, but Futaba took two steps forward, "I'm- I'm a Mirage Master, okay."
"A Mirage Master?" The fifteen-year-old looked at her puzzled. Kiria huffed annoyed, she explained the role of the Mirage Master to the young programmer.

{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE OST - Exposition}
"Ah, so you technically are a Sentai. Well, that carnage form makes you look like a cute dark Miku." Futaba teased.
"Well since you put it that way..." Tharja appeared beside her human partner which startled Futaba, "Shut up," Kiria retorted.
Futaba blinked at the woman she had light purple skin with long dark purple hair with a blind visor helmet. She wore some sort of ancient dress with gold designs and she looked just as elegant as Kiria.
"This is Tharja, my Mirage partner," Kiria explained.
"Wow, she looks really cool! Hey, Tharja I'm-"
"Save it. I already know who you are." Tharja lazy waived off the nerd.
"Oh, um, cool." Futaba adjusted her glasses once more.
Kiria sighed at Tharja "Anyway Futaba, let's keep moving. I don't know how you followed me into this place but I can't put you at risk for Mirage attacks so stay close."
Futaba nodded, "I'm actually here to look for my friends, there around here somewhere, I can feel it."
Kiria nodded back, "Well, in that case, you better stay close to me."
"As you command!" Futaba saluted to her Idol. Kiria sighed, "You better," She thought.
