"It's time to let Kamoshida have a taste of his own medicine!" Shiho shouted while pointing at Kamoshida's shadow, "Jeanne! Zio!"
"YES, MY DEAR!" Jeanne put her sword towards to sky and released a shot of lighting to Kamoshida's direction. However, two guards swiftly came in and blocked the lightning strike, revealing two Eligor.
"Dammit!" Kamoshida pointed to the two Eligor and shouted. "Protect me while I Leave!"
"Yes, King Kamoshida." the Eligors said in unison.
"Coward." Akira hissed under his breath, "Moriarty! Eiha!"
Moriarty appeared behind Akira and shot a burst of Curse energy to one of the guards, but only had done little to no damage.
"Resist to Curse... I'll remember that." Akira internally cursed and command Moriarty again, "Garula!"
A few razor-sharp winds hit Eligor and done a fair amount of damage, but still not enough to knock down any one of them, "Dammit! Prepare to dodge, Shiho!"
"I know!" Shiho retorted while leaping and rolling, trying to dodge the Cleave attack from the Red Knight and found an opening, "Jeanne! Kouga!"
Jeanne swiftly sent out a strike of light and managed to kill the weakened one that was damaged by Akira. But then, the other Eligor released a surprised Cleave attack. Knocking her down as a critical hit.
"Shiho!" Akira quicked dashed to Shiho's side and blocked another Cleave attack by his scythe, gritting his teeth as the knight starts to overpower him, "Moriarty! Makajama!"
He hoped that the spell would work and inflict forget to his opponent, but it missed. "Wha-"
Before Akira could finish his words, Eligor overpowered him and knocked him back. "ARGH!"
"Akira... I have to do something..." Shiho finally got up from her state of being knocked down, and summoned Jeanne again, "I need to heal us, fast..."
"Jeanne! Requiem of Rebellion!"
A ray of white light shined on both thieves as Jeanne voice suddenly rang through the whole entrance hall. Both Akira and Shiho could feel that a sense of energy filled their whole body, healing their injuries from earlier.
"W-wow... You're the best, Shiho!" With a smirk, Akira gripped his scythe and summoned his persona, "Moriarty, Garula on me!"
"Yes! Sir!" Moriarty obeyed Akira's command and cast a Garula on him, using the wind to propel himself to the air.
"Ciao." Akira quietly murmured and swiftly drew multiple arcs towards the red knight, slicing him apart and killed him.
Once landed back to the ground smoothly with a roll. Akira saw Shiho collapsed to the ground out of exhaustion and hastily dashed back next to her, "Shiho, you're alright?"
"Yeah... just too tired." Shiho said with a small smile, a genuine one.
"It's OK, I'll get us out here ASAP." Akira quickly picked her up and fired his grappling hook towards the room they came from and escaped the palace immediately.
[The real world, alleyway]
Once both of them were back to the real world, Shiho noticed a few missed calls from Ann and her parents. "Hey, Akira... What time is it?"
"Huh?" Akira checked his phone and visibly paled from the answer, "It's... half-past four already?!"
"What?!" Shiho tried to get up but failed, "Ugh... I'm too tired to stand straight..."
"Don't worry, I'll get you home." Akira seeing this as an opportunity and decided to let her stayed on his back, "Ready?"
"I-I think so..." Shiho blushed hard from the fact that she's now under the spotlight as they passed the crowded street of Aoyama-Itchome and Shibuya. But in the end, she decided to enjoy this moment of peace, feeling that there's only her and Akira.
But what seems to be just a few minutes, Shiho was already in front of her own home. Akira gently let her back on the ground and let her go, "Shiho, I think you should get a few days off school."
"Um... Maybe." Shiho gave him another small smile and said, "If anything happens, tell me, OK?"
"Just like what Ann told me..." Akira can't help but smile at the striking similarities between Ann and Shiho's word to him, "I promise."
Shiho nodded in his response and gave him a thumb up before entering the house, leaving him alone.
Once Shiho was officially safe in her home, Akira sighed in relief and tried to call Ann. But for some reason, Ann didn't or couldn't respond.
"Huh? ...Why can't I call her?"
[Back to Kamoshida's palace, Safe room]
Ren, Ryuji and Morgana were infiltrating the castle when they overheard the guards talking.
"So... about those two thieves earlier..."
"They somehow were able to defeat a few of our best men!"
"I heard that girl in white were also awakened to that power as well..."
"This is unacceptable..."
'So there are other people like us in here before...' Ren was deep in his thought when Morgana suddenly patted his shoulder, snapping him out.
"Hey, Joker," Morgana said to Ren, or Joker as his codename, "you seem to be deep in thought for a moment."
"Oh, I'm fine." Ren tried to dismiss Morgana's word when the guards start talking again, catching their attention.
"Still, why was the princess in such an odd place...?"
"Princess...?" Ryuji, or Skull as his codename murmured. and raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Morgana, or Mona in this case quickly walked to beside the door and eavesdropped them. "Something's not right..."
"I could have sworn we were pursuing the reading of an intruder..."
"It doesn't matter now, We must take her back to King Kamoshida!"
"Who's this princess they're talking about...?" Skull asked Joker with a raised eyebrow. "Do you have any idea what they're talkin' about?"
Before Joker can answer Skull's question, Mona suddenly opened the door of the room and walked out, "I should probably look into this!"
"Yet another question left unanswered..." Skull only sighed at Mona's action and turned towards Joker, "Stuff like the castle and that navigation app are mysterious... but Morgana's got 'em both beat."
"Remember, code names."
There are a few seconds of silence between them before Ryuji realised his mistake, "Crap, sorry!"
"What was I again? ...Oh yeah, Skull!"
"Huh..." Joker only sighed, "typical Skull..."
The duo stood in awkward silence for a moment, before Mona suddenly came back. "Guys, this is bad!" He exclaimed, "It's lady Ann! She's been taken by the shadows...!"
"Great..." Joker commented, wincing, "She must have the app on her phone when we get her out from here."
Skull rubbed his head in frustration, "Dammit! We let her out for her own safety, and she just came back in by herself...!" he gritted. "Dammit, we got no time to be takin' a break! We gotta save her ass!"
With a nod from Joker, the trio exited the safe room and ran down the hallway. They noticed the barred corridor in where they came from was now opened, the carpet had scuffled as if someone had dragged their feet on.
"Is this some kind of filming?! Who's in charge here?!"
"No time to waste now!" Joker urged, running down the hallway toward the door where the carpet was leading to.
"Look, I'll apologize for touching the armour without permission!"
Skull groaned at Ann's word, "She totally doesn't get what's goin' on..."
"Let's hurry and save her!" Mona exclaimed, rushing after Joker.
The trio pushed open the door and the sight that greeted them wasn't what they were expecting.
Ann was locked to an 'X' shaped cross, two guards standing in front of her. The room was filled with candles and flower petals, a portrait of a shirtless Kamoshida hung in the centre of the wall.
"What's all this about?!" Ann yelled, trying to break free from the cross, "Seriously, I'm gonna call the cops!"
"So... this is the intruder." Kamoshida's shadow walked up to Ann and observed her with glowing yellow eyes. "First that thief and that girl, now you..."
"Kamoshida?!" Ann yelped in surprised, staring the teacher in disbelief. Then a perfect copy of her walked up to him, clinging on him.
"Who is that...?" She whispered, still staring to those two, "More importantly, what is this place?! Why's the school turned into something like this?!"
Smirking amusedly, the king turned to his soldiers. "I can't believe you mistook my Ann for someone like her."
He chuckled before looking back to the real Ann, still having that smirk on his face. "Are you afraid?"
"What is that outfit...? Have you lost your mind?" Ann asked, fear starting to sink in.
"I do as I please here. After all, this is my castle... the world of my desires." The king said with a perverted grin on his face.
Ann only stared at him in disbelief and screeched, "What the-?! Is this some kind of red light district?!"
Kamoshida only frowned. "What a lively slave."
"This isn't funny!" She retorted back by yelling, "enough of this bullshit, Kamoshida!"
The king only narrowed his eyes and turned to the copy of Ann, "The girl decided to tell me off. What do you think?"
"talking back is, like...totally unforgivable..." The copy replied slowly with a seductive smile on her face.
Kamoshida chuckled from her response before turning back to the real Ann. "In that case...she should be executed."
"Now then, how should I play with you? Shall I tear you into little pieces?"
Ann's face visibly paled as reality set in. "Are you kidding me...?"
"Holy shit..." Joker said with wide eyes as he witnessed the scene in front of them.
"This is f$#ked up." Skull spat out, his yellow gloved hands clenched tightly, "Is that what he thinks of the girls on the volleyball team?!"
In front of the trio was many topless girls, moaning and sprawled out seductively on the carpet. Every singled one of them wore the uniform shorts of the volleyball team, signifying them as the female members of the volleyball team.
Joker closed his eyes an clutched his gloved hand hard from this disgusting sight. "Kamoshida...you f#$king bastard."
"Hey, that's...!" Mona yelped, staring off to another direction.
The trio looked at the same direction and saw Ann strapped down on a cross and surrounded by those soldiers, with Kamoshida and Ann's copy standing on aside.
they rushed forward, stopping just a few meters away with their weapons ready.
"Takamaki!" Skull shouted.
"Just when I was about to start enjoying myself..." Kamoshida frowned from the arrival of the Phantom Thief.
Struggling against her bond, Ann looked at the trio with disbelief and fear. "What's the deal with this guy?!"
Skull growled, glaring directly to Kamoshida, "You little...!"
"...How many times are you gonna come back?" the king sneered, "I already have that brat and the other girl to worry about."
"As many as necessary." Joker hissed coldly.
Shrugging, Kamoshida turned back to Ann, "I bet you just like those thieves. You came because you're pissed at me, huh?" He asked mockingly, "But... I forget that chick's name, but it's your fault she tried to jump and that brat's upcoming expulsion, you know."
"Huh?" Ann just looked at him with disbelief.
He chuckled at her look, "You were so reluctant to throw yourself onto me that I had her to take your place, but that brat decided to be a hero and punched me in the face. So I decided to kick him out as well as you two."
Couldn't contain her anger anymore, Ann struggled harder. "You F$#king bastard!" She roared but gasped as a guard moved closer.
"NO!" Skull took a step to intercept the guard but was stopped when Kamoshida raised his hand.
"Take one more step and I'll kill her on the spot." He threatened.
Skull flinched and stopped. "Dammit..." He gritted in frustration.
"You effin' bastard..."
Kamoshida chuckled at his word and turned back to Ann, "Just sit back and enjoy the dismantlement show."
Ann gasped and struggled to break free, "NO! Don't!"
"Maybe I'll start with her clothes." Kamoshida giggled, staring at her with perverted eyes.
Ann's copy simpered, shaking her breast at his arm. "You're such a prev!"
Skull gritted his teeth. "Dammit, what are we gonna do?!"
Joker internally cursed, what could they do? Just stand there and watch her being violated? But at the same time, they also couldn't take another step or Ann'd die...
"Is this...my punishment for what happened to Shiho and Akira?" Ann whispered, looking down in defeat as the soldiers moved closer.
Kamoshida chuckled from the sight with amusement. "That's more like it. You should've like this from the start." he said darkly, "No more of your rebellious bullshit."
Ann's light blue eyes teared up as her own demise approaching, staring to nothing, "Shiho... Akira... I'm so sorry..." She whispered, clenching her eyes.
"Don't give up!" Joker suddenly shouted, a serious look on his face, "You said that to Shiho when she tried to jump! Are you just going to give in?!"
"Huh?" lifting her head, Ann looked at him in surprise.
"Takamaki! He's the one who tries to ruin Ichijou and Suzui's life!" Skull added, clenching his hand to a fist, "Are you going to let this f$#ker get away with it?!"
Ann bit her lips, slowly but surely came to her senses, "You're right."
"Letting this piece of shit toy with me..."Her face was replaced with a determined expression and struggled in her binding, "What was I thinking...?!"
Kamoshida was furious at her resistance, "It's like I always say. Slaves should just behave and-"
"Shut up!" Ann interrupted loudly with the immense anger, "I've had enough of this... You pissed me off, you son of a bitch!"
Then, a voice suddenly spoke inside of her.
"My...it's taken far too long."
Pain suddenly wracked through her body, causing her to convulse in her chains.
"Tell me... who is going to avenge them if you don't?"
"Forgiving him was never the option... Such is the scream of the other you that dwells within..."
Ann clenched her eyes, letting out little gasps of pain as the voice continues to speak. She tensed and thrust her body in the air before slumping down.
"I am thou, thou art I... We can finally forge a contract..."
Head down and exhausted, she whispered. "I hear you... Carmen."
She lifted her head back up and a red feline mask appeared on her face, covering the entire upper half of her head. "You're right. No more holding back!"
Kamoshida gasped at the mask, taking a step back. "You too?! Guards!"
The soldier near Ann instantly obeyed and swung his sword towards Ann, directly to her head.
"NO!" Skull roared to Ann in desperation.
But just before the sword touched Ann, a thin wire shot out from the shadow and attached to the hand of the soldier. Holding him from swing anything further.
"DO IT!" A male voice rang in the shadow, fueling her heart with even more fire.
"There you go... Nothing can be solved by restraining yourself."
With the new sense of power filling her, Ann broke through her bind. Taking her right hand, she clenched her mask.
"Understand? Then I'll gladly lend you my strength."
With a scream, she ripped off her mask with a splatter of blood on her face, a wave of harsh wind whipped outward. And Ann was covered in blue flame.
With the flame depleted, Ann now wore a tight red leather catsuit with zippers all around. It left open a large window on her cleavage, showing her skin and the top of her breasts. A panther-like tail was attached to her back. Her hand were now covered by a pair of pink leather gloves and another pair of darker red boots encircled her upper thighs.
'Yes! She did it!' In the shadow, Akira was internally screaming in joy. "Ann! Take it!"
He pulled the sword away with his grappling hook from the guard's hand and fling it up to the air. Ann instantly jumped up and grabbed it by the handle. With a loud cry, she swung down at her copy.
The copy screamed as Ann slashed her right in the middle, dissipating into nothing.
Kamoshida stared at the now transformed Ann with fear and frantically took a few steps back.
"You know what?" Ann said as the sword in her hand turned into a red whip, glaring directing at the king himself. "I'm not some cheap girl you can toy with, you scumbag!"
The trio quickly rushed to her side, backing her up, "You shattered Shiho's heart and stole Akira's future... Now it's the time to let you have a taste of your own medicine!" She yelled, pointing a finger at the king.
"I will rob you of everything!"
"How dare you!" A lieutenant shouted and absorbed other soldiers, convulsed into black goo, revealing a horrid looking demon with large horns and a beard, sitting on a toilet.
"No! I've had enough of you!" She retorted, clenching the handle of the whip, "NO one's gonna stop me now!"
Ann crouched into a feline battle position, "Let's go, Carmen!"
"How dare you deny King Kamoshida's love, you're selfish lass?!" the demon-Belphegor exclaimed back, "Pay for this insolence with your life!"
"That dirtbag just sees women as sexual outlets! Don't make me laugh with that "love" bullshit!" Holding a hand to her face, Ann commanded Carmen. "Carmen! Agi!"
Carmen sent a wave of fireball toward Belphegor, knocking it down in an instant.
Joker seeing this as an opportunity and looked at the other Phantom Thief, "Ready, everyone?"
"Of course!" the other three persona user shouted in unison, each has a smirk on their face.
"Then... Let's do this! All-Out Attack!"
the four thieves jumped in unison and strike Belphegor at the same time. A cloud of smoke raised up as the barrage continues, the demon was knocked into the air, defenceless.
But before the thieves can land a final hit on the demon, a figure clouded in shadow suddenly appeared out in the air. The figure smoothly slashed it at an insane pace with his scythe, killing it and dissolved into nothing.
Before the four thieves could register what had happened, the shadow figure already disappeared back into the shadow and left. No traces were left around.
"Wha- What happened?" Skull gasped from the scene in front of him, mouth open-wide in disbelief, "Who was that?!"
"I-I don't know." Mona swallowed back in uncertainty, "But he helped us, at least."
"Oh shit...!" Kamoshida cursed as he realised that all of his guards were killed. He dashed out from the room, running away from the thieves.
"Wait!" Ann tried to move and go after him, but only collapsed to her knees in exhaustion. "Dammit..."
The other thieves walked up to her and helped her up, "Why'd you come here, man?!" Skull shouted, "And more importantly, how?!"
Mona glared up at him, but was interrupted as Joker smacked the back of his head. "Do you think this is the right way to speak to Ann?"
"Hey! Is this that how you speak to a woman?!" Mona saw Skull's apologetic and guilt-filled look and just turned back to Ann. "Are you alright, Lady Ann?" He asked softly, a big contrast from earlier.
Ann looked up to the cat and stared at him for a good thirty seconds before she spoke again. "Lady Ann...? Wait, what is this thing? Is it alive? How can it talk?"
Mona's face visibly fell into an abyss as he was treated as a 'Thing' more than a man he sees himself as. "..."
"And... where in the world are we?!" Ann just kept on with her barrage of questions, as if she finally realised what had happened. "Can anyone explain what is going on?!"
'Huh... This is going to be a tough one...' Ren sighed and crouched down, trying to calm her down, "Just calm down, we'll explain everythin-"
"How am I supposed to calm down!" Ann used Mona's giant head to get herself up, making his head wobble like a roly-poly. She then finally noticed her new outfit, especially the chest area. "HUH?!"
"Why am I dressed like this?!" The red-suited woman instantly covered her chest with both of her hands, blushing hard from embarrassment, "When did I- Don't look at me!"
"It's been like this for a whole five minutes, we've seen enough already..." Joker just looked to the side with a slight blush, his cocky tone in the palace had gone in an instant and replaced by Ren's usual one. "I-it's too late... I think..."
Ann's face only blushes even harder at Ren's words.
"Why didn't you tell me back then?!"
"'the right way to speak to Ann'... huh." Ryuji no longer able to hold his laughter anymore and laughed out loud, pointing at Ren. "Man, you're a comedy gold mine!"
"I hate you." Ren only quietly hissed.
[Excatly 10 minutes later, Aoyama-Itchome station]
"So Ann is now a Persona user too..." Akira was jotting information about the four Phantom thieves on his 'Detective Notebook' when something came to his mind, snapping him out from his thought. "Right! About me and Shiho's gun!"
He instantly took the other line and went straight to Shibuya, messaging Shiho in the process.
Akira: Hey Shiho!
Akira: I want to ask you about something serious.
Shiho: Something serious?
Akira: It's about our business in the other world.
Akira: What kind of gun do you prefer?
Shiho: WHAT?!
Shiho: I never thought about that...
Shiho: I don't even know what kind of gun is there!
Akira: It's OK, I'll list it out for you.
Akira: We have handgun, shotgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle(bolt-action and semi-automatic), revolver, light machine gun and the big boy-grenade launcher.
Shiho: Wow...
Shiho: You're really a nerd for guns...
Shiho: I'll let you pick for me.
Shiho: Cause I trust you.
Akira: Welp, I'll decide for you then!
Akira: Let' meet up tomorrow, we need to steal Kamoshida's heart ASAP.
Shiho: OK.
Akira: Oh, and there' one more thing, but I'll save it for tomorrow.
Akira: ;)
Shiho: surprises for me? How thoughtful of you.
Akira: Are you being sarcastic...?
And with that, Akira put his phone back into his pocket and continued his way to a specific shop he's all too familiar with- Untouchable. "Let's hope that Iwai-san can give me a great deal this time..."
But unaware to him, the Phantom Thieves are trying to explain everything in the simplest way possible to Ann on the other side of the Aoyama-Itchome station.
"So now you have a Persona like us too. Meaning that you can take down the palace as well." Ren finally finished his explanation and licked his lips after talking too much. "Any questions, Ann?"
"Uh... So now I can go to Kamoshida's heart by a creepy app which magically installed on my phone, control fire and have a... costume while doing all of this?" Ann summarised hesitantly, getting a nod from the other Phantom Thieves.
"In a nutshell, Yes," Ren smiled, still remembering that costume of her, "Pretty cool, right?"
"I guess so..." The blonde awkwardly laughed, still confused by the whole deal with 'Metaverse' stuff. "But it's too complicated for me..."
"Yeah... I can understand that." Ren looked at the passing train and murmured.
Then Ryuji finally came back after a long journey to buy drinks for them and hended out toward them. "Which one do you want?"
Ann looked at two drinks for a few seconds before answering, "Whichever's not carbonated."
He looked at those two drinks for a while before mentally facepalmed himself. "uh... they're both actually."
"Then..." She frowned, but chose the one in his right hand, "I'll go with that."
Ryuji nodded and handed the other one to Ren, "Here ya go, Renren."
"I told you, please don't call me that." Ren took the drink Ryuji handed and sighed in helplessness.
"What about me?" Morgana, now in his cat form poked out from Ren's shoulder bag and asked eagerly. But only earning a 'Huh' from Ryuji.
"But you're a cat."
Ann giggled from Ryuji's word and saved him from the wrath of Morgana unintentionally.
"...have you calmed down, Lady Ann." Hearing Ann's giggles, Morgana turned his attention to her.
"Um... Morgana, right?" Upon hearing Morgana's word, Ann looked at the feline with a doubtful look.
"I really am talking to a cat... This feels so strange..." She whispered to herself, still couldn't believe the fact that a talking cat exists.
"I live with him." Ren plainly commented. Earning another giggle from her.
"Yeah... This definitely feels even stranger." Ann remembered that Morgana's extremely sensitive about the "I am not a cat" thing and quickly apologized to him, "Oh sorry! you're not a cat, right?"
"It's only natural that you're confused." Different from the usual bitter or furious tone, Morgana was surprisingly fine with that. "Demanding that you understand all of this after what you went through is asking too much."
Ann nodded and was deep in thought for a few seconds, "So now we can make Kamoshida have a change of heart, right?" She asked, still a bit hesitant about this whole idea, "Is this really possible...? Can we actually force him to confess his crimes?"
"The volleyball team's keepin' quiet about this, while teacher and parents turn a blind eye." Ryuji straightened himself, explained to Ann in a surprisingly serious tone. "if guys like us try and complain, they're just gonna shoot us down."
"Yeah... I remember that Akira once told me about his complain being shut down."
With a nod, Ryuji continues, "Goin' all in on this plan is the only choice we got."
After a few seconds of hesitation, Ann nodded to himself and looked up to them with a determined look, "Then let me help too. I want to make him pay for what happened to Shiho and Akira."
"He just keeps going like nothing happened, even after what happened... I'll never forgive him."
After Ann finished her word, Ryuji just looked at her eye-open wide, as if he finally realised what he just heard. "Wait, did you just say, 'let me help'?"
"You mean, you want us to take you along?"
"Don't act like I'm going to drag you down. Weren't you watching? I can fight too." Ann just frowned and retorted back to Ryuji's word.
Ryuji just rubbed his head in embarrassment and turned his attention to Ren, "Hey, what should we do?"
"It should be fine." Ren nodded and gave Ann a thumbs up, "Welcome on board."
"Even you're on board with this...?" Ryuji just turns to him with a look of disbelief.
"I agree as well. We are lacking in manpower, after all." Morgana also agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll protect her" He stated firmly.
"Even if you say no, I'm just gonna go alone." Ann added while crossing her arms, "I am not going to give up."
Seeing that he was on the weaker side, Ryuji relented. "Alright, fine."
"Then it's decided. Well, I hope we get along." Ann smiled, but then stated determinedly. "I'm going to make Kamoshida stone for what he did. Not just for their sake... but for everything. I won't let any more people suffer because of him. I'll do whatever it takes!"
Ren just smiled in response, then decided to change their subject, "With that said, we should talk about the mysterious figure who helped us."
"Oh, about that figure." Ryuji was deep in his thought for a bit, "What should we call him?"
"Shadow man?" Ren suggested, but was turned down by Ryuji instantly.
"Nah, too lame."
"Joker?" Ann suggested, but got turned down as well.
"It's my codename, Ann."
The trio then fell into a loophole, unable to come up with a proper name to call him. Until Morgana suddenly spoke up.
"How about Jester?" Morgana suggested, earning some nod from the trio. "I don't know why, but he seems familiar to me."
"Also, even though we had never met him. But he seems to have infiltrated this palace for a few time now." Ren added, recounting those conversations he overheard from those guards. "Ryuji, I remembered that in the day of you awaking your Persona, the guards had talked about 'the captured one'."
"'Captured one'?" Ryuji tilted his head, looked confused from what he had said.
"Yes." Ren nodded, "And remember that battle? My curse skill and Morgana's skill got a damage boost while you haven't, which is weird in itself."
"It seems like he's only able to have Curse and Wind attack..." Morgana commented. For some reason, some words rang inside his head.
"So... It basically means that this is the literal version of his 'desire' or whatever, right?"
"So can I stop Kamoshida from doing those act of 'desire' in here?"
"Yeah, me too." Ren pushed his glasses, still trying to recall his memories, "But then in today, the guards and Kamoshida not only mentioned Jester, but another girl as well."
"Another girl?" Ann recalled some word from Kamoshida as Ren mentioned about them, "Yeah! I remembered that he said something about 'that thief and that girl'!"
"First that thief and that girl, now you..."
"Not only that, I remembered that the sword was stopped in midway at striking Lady Ann! As if someone saved her from being killed." Morgana recalled the strange event happened during Ann's awaking, "And There's a voice said 'Do it' and 'Take this Ann' to Lady Ann when the sword was tossed to the sky..."
"DO IT!"
"Ann! Take it!"
"So... what does it all mean?" Ryuji rubbed his head in confusion, trying to figure it all out.
"That means..." Ren pushed his glasses again and said with a serious tone.
"We're not the alone in Kamoshida's palace."
