AN: So remember when is aid this takes place in the Prisma Illya world? Well, I hadn't played FGO then and didn't know much about it and thus now I wrote myself into a corner. So now it takes place in the FGO world. I apologise to everyone for this lack of forethought on my part. Also, this chapter is short, again I apologise the talky stuff between the action is not my forte.

[October 30th, Class 2-2, Yasogami High, Inaba]

"Aannnd done!" Chie said, putting the last desk in place and slumping down over it. "Oohhh! I'm spent…"

"Okay, cool. Well, that's over with…" Yosuke said, looking pleased everything was back to normal. "You guys wanna grab a bite?"

"Great!" Rise said, clapping her hands together. "The Prince of Junes treats, right?"

"Yeah, keep dreaming." Yosuke said giving her a 'no way' look. "Actually, since you guys won the pageants, you should treat us." He looked at Teddie as he said that.

"You cad! You can't ask a bear maiden like me to pay! Don't make me shoot you with my love!" Teddie said.

"And don't call yourself a maiden…" Yosuke retorted.

"Well, calling it a day right now would blow, wouldn't it…?" Chie said to Yu.

"It sure would," Yu replied.

"Big Bro!" Nanako cried as she walked into the room with Dojima in tow.

"Hi Nanako, did you have fun at the school festival?" Yu asked.

"Um-hm!" Nanako replied. "I got Yakisoba noodles cup. I even got to dance and see a haunted house and a fortune teller!"

"Uh oh." Cu Chulainn gulped.

"What-? You saw the fortune teller?"

"Yeah, and the fortune lady knew you."

"She said you were a man… manly…" Nanako said, trying to recall what the fortune lady said.

"She was strange. Forget it," Yu said not liking where this was going.

"Manwhore!" Nanako said as it occurred to her. Everyone was stunned. "She said that you were a manwhore!"

"Ouch." Cu Chullain said in a hurt tone.

"Ahem!" Dojima interrupted with a loud cough. "I need to be at the Prefectural office early tomorrow morning, so I'm heading out and hitting the sack early tonight. Can you keep an eye on Nanako for me?"

"Sure, no problem," Yu said as Nanako ran over to him.

"I appreciate it," Dojima said as he turned to leave before halting. "Oh, Shirogane can I talk to you?"

"Of course Dojima, what is it?" She asked as Dojima came and spoke to her about something in hushed whispers.

After a few moments, they separated and Dojima began walking off.

"if you have any insights about that can you please call me?" He requested walking off.

"Night, Daddy…" Nanako said, waving goodbye to her dad.

"Night…" he said, raising his arm in response.

"Well, we'd better head home…" Yu said.

"What?!" Rise said, disappointed. "Don't tell me you're leaving already!"

"We should be leaving…" Yu said politely, trying to put a positive spin and ending things for the day too soon.

"Big Bro Yu, I don't wanna be a problem. I'll be fine alone," Nanako said, believing she had interrupted some time that for Yu and his friends only.

"It's okay…" Yu said, ruffling Nanako's hair slightly.

"No, Nanako, I didn't mean it like that!" Rise said. "You're never a problem."

"Hey, Nanako," Yukiko knelt to be eye level with Nanako, "How would you like to stay with me tonight?"

"What did you say?!" Teddie cried.

"'How would you like to stay at the Inn tonight?'" Yukiko repeated her offer trying to Nanako.

"Party at the Inn!" Rise said.

"You cool with that, Senpai?" Kanji said.

Yukiko was taken aback, realising she may have stepped into something. "Huh? Actually, I was…"

"Sweet!" Yosuke said, double high-fiving Rise. "We're staying at the inn, Dude!"

"I only meant-!" Yukiko was cut off by Teddie jumping into the conversation.

"Can I hard boil eggs in the hot springs?!" Teddie asked.

"Very well, then. I should probably tell my Grampa…" Naoto began dialling her grandfather to inform him of what was happening.

Yukiko sweat dropped and then tried to object but stopped when Nanako spoke up.

"It's a slumber party!" Nanako said happily.

"Well, I guess it is now, Are you up for it?" Yukiko asked with a smile.

"Can I?" Nanako asked.

"Sure."

"Yay! We're all spending the night!" Nanako cried joyfully.

"All right! Well, I'd better go home and pick up a few things!"

"Let's continue this party at the Amagi Inn!"

"YEAH!" Everyone said, raising their fists in the air, except for Naoto who was talking to her grandfather.

"I'll swing by home first and then I'll…" she said.

[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]

[October 30th, Amagi Inn, Inaba]

"Thanks for having us!" Everyone said in unison.

Yukiko wasn't with them, as they were already at the Inn.

"You're most welcome," Ms Amagi said, bowing towards them.

"We'll all be staying tonight," Chie said.

"Sorry we're such a large group," Yu said apologetically

"It's fine," Ms Amagi said, reassuringly. "We've been expecting you."

"Oh, hey guys," Yukiko said, walking up to them.

"Wow!" Teddie said. "You're like the blistering hot lady of the steamy hot springs!"

"Actually, I'm just a waitress," Yukiko explained with a smile before looking at Nanako. "Do you mind, Nanako? I have a huge party to look after." Indeed, Yukiko was not dressed in her casual clothes like the others, or even in her pink Kimono. She was dressed much like her mother, Blue Yukata with a maroon obi, that had pink trim and no adornments on her hair.

"No, I don't mind at all," Nanako answered not bothered at all.

"It's okay, Yuki. Don't worry about that big party. I can look after them. Join your friends."

"Are you sure you're okay with that? They're a handful." Yukiko asked.

"I'll be fine, now go on." Ms Amagi shooed her daughter away.

"Come on guys I'll show you all to your rooms," Yukiko said leading them down a hall.

"You know," Rise hung back to talk to Yu. "Yukiko is sorta cool like this. "

[Male guest room, Amagi Inn, Inaba].

The room the boys had been given was quite spacious considering there were only four guys. There was a cabinet, a dining table, an entertainment area with a TV and a phone. A small shrine area with a framed photograph was there. There were doors leading to a closet that was now a sleeping area and the dining area as well.

"So they're not gonna put us all in one room?" Teddie asked.

"Of course not!" Yosuke said impatiently.

"I wouldn't care if they were closer, but they're beary far away…" Teddie complained as he began rolling on the ground.

"This place looks pretty packed tonight, I bet that's why they put the girls on a different floor," Yosuke stated as he sat facing Kanji at a table.

"Poopy-poopy…" Teddie continued complained as he began rolling the other way.

"You know, man, it's been crazy how many times we've slept under the same roof the past six months."

"The tent, the hotel, and now the inn, too," Yu said swirling a cup of green tea in his hand like it was a glass of wine.

Yu had changed into a white and blue-striped evening Yukata, with a light blue robe over it. He was barefoot as well.

"Dude…You can't just go around acting like this is your room…" Yosuke said.

"Excuse me," Everyone turned to the door and saw Yukiko kneeling there. "I just wanted to let you all know your dinner is ready.

[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]

With dinner finished, Yukiko's mother lead Nanako away to keep her entertained while the group talked business Yukiko finally could join with her work done for the evening. Rise set up a bounded field to keep people from listening and everyone focused on their leader.

"Alright, so now that we're alone can you please tell what the hell's up with this arranged marriage?" Kanji asked impatiently.

"Hey Naoto, isn't there anything we could do about this?" Rise asked the detective.

"I'm afraid not," Naoto replied negatively shaking her head. "His parents have legal authority over him until he's twenty, there's nothing we can do."

"Well do you at least know her name?" Chie asked.

"Yeah, Olga. Olga Marie Animusphere." Yu revealed to them with a sigh.

"Animusphere, I've heard of them," Yukiko said putting a finger to her chin. "They're one of the top ten families in the Clock Tower they're responsible for the Astronomy Faculty."

"That's true," Archer stated materialising leant against the wall. "But how do you know that?"

Yukiko gained a look of shock on her face before looking downcast.

"I guess considering everything it's fine if I tell you, I've already slipped up any," Yukiko said with a sad tone.

"Yukiko?" Chie was concerned for her close friend.

"You see, a long time ago the Amagi's used to be a mage family who specialised in summoning. However, within the last few generations, our magic circuits began to atrophy at a rapid rate, even bringing in fresh blood did nothing to stop it." Yukiko explained before taking a breath and continuing. "My great grandfather on my mother's side was the last real mage in our family. We were the Second Owners of the land we owned which included what is now Okina city before we sold it off to the government and then we passed on Second Ownership of Inaba to the Nakamura family who we had good relations with and they've been administering Supernatural activity in the town ever since."

"You mean Aika's a mage?" Chie asked astounded.

"Yes. I know I should have told you all, but I'm just so used to keeping this a secret that I guess I forgot I'm sorry." Yukiko apologised bowing her head shamefully.

"Hey relax its cool we understand right guys?" Chie looked to everyone for support,

Everyone voiced their understanding nodding and giving her reassurance.

"Back on topic, so do your parents know that this Olga is some bigshot mage?" Yosuke asked.

"Yup, that's the best part apparently my parents don't work for the government that was a lie, they work for the Holy Church," Yu revealed piquing Archer's interest. "Apparently the Animusphere family is working on some secret project and needed some help from the Church and family has been negotiating with them and recently I became a piece in these negotiations to give the Church a stake in this project."

"Wait, as in the Catholic church?" Yosuke asked.

"Yup that's them," Archer spoke up. "They mostly hunt heretical Magi and Dead apostles it's a surprise that they'd work with a mage family on any project considering they and Association hate each other's guts."

"I'm sorry, I know that the Church and Mages Association hate each other, but what is a Dead Apostle?" Yukiko asked confused.

"Hmm…. You don't know? they're vampires." Archer told her with a raised eyebrow. "True Ancestors created them.

"I fought many Phantasmal Beasts in life," Gawain said materialising. "And I have never heard nor seen any being like a vampire or heard of Dead Apostles or True Ancestors."

"Nor I," Diarmuid stated.

These statements caused Archer to look at both of them strangely which earnt him strange looks in return.

"Well… anyway. Naoto do you remember getting us to have those tests at the hospital?" Yu asked changing the subject.

"Yes," Naoto said cautiously.

"Well the Church has been watching us since the beginning, they know about the Holy Grail and have been keeping an eye on us. So when we went to the hospital for those tests they did some tests of their own without us knowing." Yu told them seriously "According to my parents, we all have developed magic circuits. I don't know about the rest of you but I didn't have them before now I have them, high amount and quality too which is how I became my parent's bargaining chip."

"We all have magic circuits now? But how?" Yukiko asked. "I was tested for them at birth just in case and I definitely didn't have them. Before."

"Caster." Rise called her Persona who appeared with a serious look on her face. "Can you check me for magic circuits?"

"Of course master." With that caster set to work closing her eyes and placing a finger upon the back of Rise's neck. A few seconds ticked by before the fox-eared woman opened her eyes again this time with a confused look upon her face. She took her finger off Rise's neck who shivered slightly as if cold. "That's strange, the magic circuits are definitely dormant and unused, but I feel the supply of Prana from with my master. But if the circuits are dormant where has that power been coming from?"

"You couldn't tell?" Rise asked with concern.

"No, when I tried to trace the source of the prana I was getting it was like trying to grab smoke, it just kept slipping through my fingers so to speak." Caster replied with a shrug.

"Ugh, more questions and no answers, just what's going on here anyway?" Yosuke asked with a groan.

"I'm bear-y confused," Teddie said with a downcast look.

The group was all silent the confusion keeping anyone from saying anything until they all heard a buzzing noise coming from Naoto. She pulled out her phone which was vibrating.

"Sorry." She apologised looking over her phone and tapping it a couple of times before looking astonished. "So quickly? That was fast."

"What was?" Chie inquired as curious as everyone else was.

"Ah, remember when Dojima took me aside earlier? Well apparently, he wanted me on standby because there had been another murder." She quickly cut off any questions. "Not related to our killer. The victim recently awoke from a coma in the hospital, he was placed there by one Shuji Ikutski, who worked for the Kirijo Group but apparently committed suicide in November of two thousand nine. His name was Sho Minazuki and he was killed by a gunshot to the head and his body was found just off the trail in the forest. But it seems they've caught the killers already and they've already confessed."

"Wait they confessed just like that?" Kanji voiced everyone's confusion. "Why would they confess so easily?"

"Well apparently they were remnants of a doomsday cult, you know the one that got big early last year?"

"Oh yeah, I remember them," Yosuke said. "They fell apart when their 'fall' didn't happen and their messiah Takaya Sakaki disappeared right?"

"Correct. Apparently, Shuji Ikutski was important to them somehow and this was just cleaning up after him." Naoto told them.

"Sheesh, what's happening to this town?" Yosuke asked with worry.

"Well, there's at least one mystery we can solve." Yu changed the subject once again revealing the strange phonograph device from earlier.

"It's that thing, are we gonna use it?" Chie asked looking to everyone.

"We were given it for a reason," Naoto said seriously. "I think it's time we found out why."

Yu looked to everyone before activating the phonograph. The record was clearly spinning but no sound was coming out it. Just then all of them heal their heads as a splitting pain forced them to the ground. The pain grew worse and worse and just as it felt like their heads were about to split open darkness took the team.

[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]

It passed by like watching a movie. Yet it was all real.

Being trapped in that school. Meeting Rei and Zen.

Dodging the FOE's.

Fighting the Queen of Hearts. Meeting SEES for the first time.

Exploring the other labyrinths and getting to know their fellow Persona users.

Meeting Blavatsky and Edison.

.

Having fun at the festival.

Seeing Rei get taken by the Clockwork God.

Finding out Zen was actually Chronos an avatar of Death.

Confronting the Clockwork God.

Watching Edison, Blavatsky and Tesla make the device to restore their memories.

Leaving it all behind.

[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]

The whole team groaned as they woke up.

"Ah, my head."

"Did anyone get the number of that bus?"

"My brain feels like its gonna explode."

They all crawled back to their sitting positions dizzy from the experience. Yu looked and watched the Phonograph crumble to dust. It's function now used up.

"I remember it all now," Yukiko said rubbing her head. "SEES, the labyrinths. Rei and Zen."

"What happened to Arisato and the others?" Yosuke asked.

"I've seen Yukari she plays the Pink Ranger in Featherman," Chie said.

"But I have some bad news," Naoto said. "Shinjiro and Arisato are both dead."

Everyone gasped at this news.

"Shinjiro was murdered in Two thousand and nine, while Arisato died of heart failure in twenty ten. I read about both in the news but dismissed it at the time." Naoto continued "But knowing what I know now they have to be related to the Dark Hour."

"I guess SEES ended the Dark Hour for good, but it cost him everything," Chie said sadly.

"I remember Mitsuru told us, that the Kirijo's and Nanjo's stopped pursuing magecraft and the Root." Yukiko said "That's how the Kirijo's were able to get away with experimenting with Personas and Shadows without bringing the Grand Servants down on them. The Grands only intervene to protect Persona users if the Supernatural world threatens them like Mages."

"We need to know more," Yu said. "We could use the wish to bring back Minato but we need context, there might be more to his death than we know."

The team all thought carefully about this before there was a knock upon the door. Rise took down the bounded field and Yukiko's mother opened the door.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Yukiko said seriously.

"They're here again…Those TV producer guys…" Ms Amagi said.

[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]

Everyone decided to follow Yukiko but stayed indoors and watched the scene from inside.

"I've already said we're not interested…" Yukiko said with annoyance to the TV producer whom she was confronting.

She was wearing her regular pink kimono that she wore when she was working or running an errand at the Inn. She decided to make things look official when she turned them down for the third time.

"I'd drop the attitude if I were you…" the host said. "…Heiress to a doomed and cursed inn,"

"'Doomed and Cursed,'" she repeated hollowly.

"Everybody knows, this was the in that Mayumi Yamano stayed in before she was killed and strung upside down." The host said.

"You've lost customers because of that haven't you?" one of the goons said.

"It makes an awesome angle for a tv show." The producer said "One girl's battle to save her families cursed and doomed inn. Good right?"

"I don't find it interesting at all," Yukiko said closing her eyes to keep her anger in.

"I'd love to have you starring in the lead role." The host pushed on getting close to Yukiko "We can do a few steamy scenes's with you in the hot springs. Waddya say?"

"I'm not interested."

"Do you know what you're passing up?" the producer exclaimed, "Just think of all the exposure the inn's gonna get with this!"

"Don't you wanna see this place succeed?" the goon in white asked.

"You're a smart girl I expect you to make a smart decision." The producer said, "Right now traditional inn just means old."

"With nasty food in tiny portions." The goon in white added.

"You've gotta learn to sell yourse-"

"ENOUGH SCOUNDRELS!" A voice boomed cutting into the conversation.

They all looked and standing atop the producer's van was a familiar looking vigilante.

"Harassing young women for your own twisted desires is beyond despicable!" he declared his mask shining in the moonlight. "Whenever people need help I will be there for I am. SPACE SAMURAI Y!" The man promptly struck a ridiculous pose like a cheesy superhero from an American comic book.

"Got off our van you lunatic!" The producer yelled. "We're just trying to make TV here!"

"I can see through you clear as day scoundrel!" The vigilante yelled back "You are nothing but a simple pervert!" he then stomped the roof. "Now prepare for just-woah!"

Suddenly the van began slowly moving. It began picking up speed as it approached the hill which leads down from the Inn, where it began going faster.

"Oh shit, hey get back here!" The producer yelled as he and his crew began chasing their vehicle.

"Ha this will teach you not to park properly!" The vigilante cried back victoriously "OW! owowowowow!" he then began smacking his on the branches of the trees which hung just above the roof of the van, snapping them all with his head he did so.

Then van picked up more speed with the crew chasing behind and out of sight. Yukiko couldn't stop herself and burst out laughing at the sight. Returning inside she eventually got her laughter under control.

"Hey." She looked at Yu when she sure no one was around to hear them. "Thanks but I had it under control.

"I know, I just couldn't resist." He said with a smile.

"Well, you should be a bit more careful." She said picking a leaf and some twigs out of his hair and tossing them through an open window.

[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]

Hidden away elsewhere Semiramis and her new comrade were talking.

"Well, it seems your chosen master is dead." She pointed out. "It seems your plan is ruined."

"Not quite." The other person said. "This is a setback, but I suppose I'll have to do it myself."

"You will become the master?" Semiramis questions sceptically. "Can a servant like yourself even become a Persona user?"

"You find that with my patron, anything is possible, plus servants are human too technically."

"Well, at least one problem is dealt with," Semiramis said looking down at the fading body of Passionlip, who had been stabbed through the heart multiple times. Blood was leaking out of her mouth and pool on the ground joining the much larger puddle producer by the fatal wounds in her heart.

"Sen…pai." She called out weakly before fading away into motes of golden dust.

"We only need to be patient. The path to the Holy Grail will only open in the last stages of this war. Then we can take it for ourselves and begin our own war."

AN: So yes. Dead Apostles and True Ancestors are not a thing on this world. And ORT isn't on Earth either. A cyber cookie to anyone who can guess why. Also for why Zelretch is still a Dead Apostle the fact that he's Zelretch should be enough of a reason.
