Persona 5 Strikers – From Light and Dark
By Tayla Drago
Episode #30 - A Jack Frost Slavery
From Morgana/Mona trying to get use his tall biggest to be stuck in the form and stop eating Coco-Fudge until Kaguya and Picaro make a cure for him and others who have ate it worse in the Metaverse and the real world. From sweets and Gegasites blood, lots of Jack Frosts, Black Frosts, and King Frosts are slaves to making the bad sweets and bad for others to eat them like pigs and get their energies drained by the Gegasites doing with their Desires taken as well. Still, the Phantom Thieves need to find the three heaters to turn on of the big lanterns all over town to make it through the snowstorm to turn off. Staying warm for Keiko/Joker, Akechi/Black Crow, Ryuji/Skull, Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, Makoto/Queen, Futaba/Oracle, Haru/Noir, and Sophia/Sophie look around to finding the other ones and Morgana's height as well to see a bit higher to come in handy and still be himself.
Keiko: Where to next, Oracle?
Futaba: Well...Hmm...The Second one is up top this other building.
Then up they go for Morgana can still run to try not to stay behind.
Morgana: Wait up...!
Akechi: Come on, Mona, put some muscle into it.
Morgana: I'm trying, Black Crow!
He really was. With the other ten catching up too, with other items and treasure chests to get...And to fight off more Sentries and Fake Shadow Gegasites to be ready for them, yet again.
Sentry: I won't let you pass!
More Shadows and another new one...
Persona #44 - Principality = powers of E.S.P.
Using their wings to fly ad staff to have powerful ESP for the others to try to make a move. These things were tough to make a direct hit out of. Unless you have Morgana's tail and wind powers combined.
Morgana: This should hold you! Now, attack!
Together to use other psychic powers, dark, light, thunder, fire, ice, venom, plants, and other hacking skills with Futaba's help did the trick. Now walking around the top building roof tops, there was the second heater to turn on next.
Akechi: And another heater has been found.
Yusuke: With two more to go.
Morgana: Again, I like this feeling...
Warming up for a bit, until they were all set to get going to find just two more to go. Just a little while longer. Still with Hans watching on his targets very well with good eye sights, where was Loki at? Since the twin sisters had to find a cure, the rest was hard to do and see Jack Frosts as trapped slaves, the real Shadow ones.
Ryuji: Man, it's so nice and toasty...I really don't wanna move.
Futaba: I could build an igloo here...*yawn* Getting the sleepies...
Still not waking up for Morgana to carry Futaba again.
Morgana: Hey, no sleeping! We got more heaters to find.
Futaba: And don't drop me when you're in battle.
Time to work, no goofing off.
Yusuke: Stay vigilant, you two.
Keiko: Fox's right. We're lucky to get warmed up while we're getting all the heaters on.
Makoto: Too bad we can't rest here for long. At least we can generate some body heat if we start moving around.
And some for Morgana to get on his big fur.
Morgana: I'll generate some I can gather in this form. It makes me feel nice and toasty.
Ryuji: Good idea. Let's get huffin' and puffin', people!
With other drone Sentries and guards, dogs, and helicopter ones...all to be shot down by the Phantom Thieves' guns.
Akechi: They won't have to trouble us anymore now. Let's get going.
Sophia: No more Shadows around here right now that I'm detecting, so we should be okay.
Good so far, somehow they weren't alone to soon hear and see something shooting out of nowhere. Hans get ready to take aim and fire 'more on the male thieves'.
Hans: Target in sight...Bang.
It was so fast to not sense it out, only for Sophia to and warns the others about it.
Sophia: Watch out!
Before moving, the bullet misses Ryuji by a hair.
Ryuji: Shit!
Ann: Skull! You were almost hit!
Ryuji: For once, I'm glad I didn't do anything stupid...!
Another one came in again to move this time.
Sophia: Get down!
Ducking down the snowy hills was a good shielding spot.
Keiko: Black Crow! (Who's shooting at us?!)
Akechi: I'm fine! Everyone, crawl to the other side and stay down!
Lucky for Morgana's height spots the sniper from afar to be there.
Morgana: Hey! Someone's trying to have us killed from their hit list, up there! Wow!
Almost hitting Morgana to stay down, the hacking entrance was right there for only Futaba can get the job done. But how? She can't fight on what comes shooting from afar.
Akechi: Stay down, Mona! This is bad...the way in.
Haru: Is over there. But we'll be killed if we take another step.
Still, it has to be done.
Futaba: We can do this. It'll attract the shooter, but I want to get this baby to responds. Joker, can you and the others shield me? Just until we can get inside? I think this person's shoot range is around there.
She was right, this was their only shot.
Keiko: Oracle, we got your back. Team, back her up and keep the sniper busy.
Makoto: If Joker knows what she's doing, then we'll follow her lead.
It was better than dying, so it was time for Futaba to get to work.
Futaba: Right, hacking in time!
Running over to look scared and rushing to the destination, Morgana uses his wind to protect Futaba the most.
Morgana: I got the bullets! You guys stop the Shadows! Now let's do this! (I'm not afraid to die for my team! And I won't die with regret of my weight at all!)
Futaba: Wow...Thanks, Mona! You rule!
Morgana: Heh. Blaze of Rage!
Not losing the bullets to push away from his teammates a lot, Morgana was good and Hans couldn't hit any of them but leftover Gegasite Shadows.
Hans: Hey! Hold still, fatty!
With the others taking on the rest of the army right away without getting killed this time.
Ryuji: Lighting Flash Attack!
Yusuke: Frozen Waves!
Akechi: Double Edge Sword Take-down!
And the girls to attack or shoot away, Keiko has Arsene do the rest and Lamia as well.
Keiko: Arsene!
Arsene: As you wish, Ms. Joker.
Burning the rest of them away, well done. But Hans take out the big guns at Morgana to aim him and Futaba with, until...
Loki: Boo.
Hans: Huh?
Loki: Psycho Big-Bang-Boom!
And he has loss his weapon by Loki's doing to come to the Phantom Thieves' rescue. This Guyver brother will be busy with him, as Futaba finally hacks through without getting shot at anymore.
Morgana: Wow...I did it.
Futaba: Alrighty! Ladies and gentlemen, your hack is now complete! Been a pleasure!
That was done and safe to go in the next heater room now.
Ann: Good, no more being shot at.
Yusuke: The shooter must be gone now.
And turning on the heater, with one more to go. They were doing great.
Futaba: Three down, and one more to go!
Keiko: And the shooter...? Oh, he stopped.
Sophia: I'm glad I've been useful to you all once again. That was a very close call.
And for Keiko and Akechi to finally sense it out on who saved their lives just now.
Keiko: Loki? He stopped this person? Hans Guyver then.
Akechi: The one who killed a Gegasite. Yes, Loki saved us. He's not bad. Come now, let's be on our way.
With the Phantom Thieves free to move on forward to the another building up top, and more Fake Shadows and Sentries stop the Phantom Thieves again – lots of Principality types.
Sentry: Hey! What are you doing?!
Now with the guns doing the shooting, ice block sliding, and swords throwing at them for the girls to have a turn to attacking them next.
Keiko: Double Daggers of Darkness!
Ann: Flame Shooter!
Makoto: Viper Sting!
Haru: Petals of Doom!
Sophia: SP Piercer!
All destroyed within seconds there. Now it was time to locate the last heater to be somewhere around where they were at right now.
Yusuke: Sophie, is this where you saw the heater?
Sophia: Yes, it should be on top over there.
And with the ice block moved on that spot, easy to climb on the other edge
Haru: But will we be able to get that high?
Futaba: Is there anything we could use as footing? Go check it out!
With luck, they just have it set up already during the battle.
Akechi: What luck, we got this ice block for a boost.
Keiko: Then up we go.
Climbing up for the fourth and final heater to turn on, all of them are to stop all the snow storms for good now. Nice and warm feeling and less cold, and they can finally see clearly.
Haru: Oh look, the snowstorm stopped.
Makoto: Perhaps the heaters have stopped it for good.
Yusuke: That must be why the enemies were guarding them. And the one who try to shoot us...
Keiko: Must be Hans Guyver in hiding.
What a cowardly way to fight too if you ask me for a so call pretty boy that he appears to be.
Morgana: Looks like they're pretty handy. And Hans trying to shoot us like deer, what a cheap move. Anyways, let's keep them in mind in case we run into any more snowy issues.
Futaba: I'm glad the snowstorm stopped and all...But there seems to be nothing here. Let's head back toward Odori Park for now.
Now it was time to move on to have an entrance to go to next, if the heaters melt the icy walls somehow. Making their way there...While from up top of another building had Loki fighting off Hans to try shooting the side to have this Persona move away. But a powerful gun in Hans' hands fires off something of a way powerful snow to come falling down, an avalanche! Heading for the Phantom Thieves to get trapped in a huge pile of snow.
Hans: A direct hit.
Loki: Idiots! Get away!
Hearing his voice and then making a run for it.
Akechi: (Loki?) RUN!
Morgana: I don't want to die like this!
Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Sophia: Avalanche!
Keiko: Don't stop running!
With Akechi saving Keiko from the snow pile, a strong force pushes Haru to safety and Morgana to do something to save the others get stuck in a hole...Morgana shields the entire snow off of them and on to him to stay warm. All but Akechi, Keiko, and Haru were saved but the others were trapped.
Haru: Mona-Chan!
Trying to pull him out of there, Morgana was still too heavy to move.
Keiko: Are you guys alright?! Mona?!
Morgana: I'm cold...But the rest are fine...Stay warm...
This looked bad for Morgana to suffer more than the others were down below him.
Ryuji: Don't you dare die on us! Or fart!
Ann: Mona, please!
Yusuke: Just think of warm things!
This was one bad place to be stuck underneath a giant Morgana to stay warm for a bit but out of air soon.
Futaba: I don't wanna die-!
Trying to burring out of there by hand would be a bad idea to do.
Makoto: Don't! Dig any more will cause the snow to collapse and we'll freeze to death! Only Black Crow, Joker, and Noir can get Mona and us out of this mess...Somehow...
Sophia: We have some air within an hour or two.
Futaba: But at this rate...!
Still, he would take the big chill than seeing the others get hurt.
Morgana: Stay warm, okay? I made me into a pig and I just want to make it up to you...Too cold...
This was bad to see, even more for Loki to use his powers to push Hans aside and restrain for some answers.
Loki: Let's talk, boy. Shall we. (Hey, kid...! Don't you or Keiko die on me.)
They won't, because Keiko had to keep Morgana warm to keep the other warm down there and then break free. She uses her hands to start warming up Morgana's entire big body.
Keiko: No! Mona! Stay awaken...We won't let you or the others die this way!
Akechi: I'll help out too. Mona, we got you! It's not your fault, your weight has come through on this mission. Don't blame yourself.
It seems to be working very well, so far to hurt and tired their hands out. And Morgana has to think hot thought to keep his body warm in a normal temperature.
Morgana: Black Crow...Joker...Thank you...
This made him smile. With Haru joining in as well, there had to be another way to melt the snow pile.
Haru: I want to help out too. I won't let my friends be in danger like this.
So far, the pile started to melt. For the other thieves do the same thing from down below.
Makoto: Let's heat things up. Everyone, place your hands and keep Mona and yourselves warm!
Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Futaba, and Sophia: Stay awake, Mona! We need you!
Little at a time, the snow melts more and more. But it still wasn't enough. It needed more body heat to work for Keiko had something in mind.
Keiko: Wait...Noir, your feather on your hat. Use it on Mona now!
Haru: What do you...Oh! I get it now! Okay.
I think Morgana gets what Haru was about to do and the others to keep their hands warm on him and them too.
Morgana: Wait! Are you going to do what I think you're gonna do?! On me?!
Akechi: It'll keep you warm once it happens. Joker's right. Please let Noir do this to you.
Giving it a thought to get out alive and stay warm, it was their only option left.
Morgana: Ah... (For once, I'm glad I'm like this or we would've died by now.) Fine. Noir... (And this will be weird coming out of my mouth too.) Tickle me.
Haru: Just until the snow melts to everyone, that's I'm doing it for. Here goes nothing.
Taking a piece of her feather piece off of Haru's hat, she uses it on Morgana to make him laugh good and more body warmth has to work faster now for Morgana was get hot and tickled more to melt the snow faster like this.
Morgana: *chuckle* Ha! Hahahahaha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Stop it! Wait! No! No! It tickles! More! More! *chuckle*
OK? Super creepy saying it like so. Still, with this to have Morgana's body moving around to warm up a lot...the snow melt completely to freeing Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba 'to be very happy and alive', and Sophia were all warmed up again and alive. From Morgana to be liking...this feeling to move his little feet and hands all over, laughing, tail wagging, his big body jiggling a lot, and such...Well, they all got out safe and sound to have Haru stopping it now.
Haru: Hooray! It worked!
Sophia: We're saved.
Warm hands now, but they've made it.
Keiko and Akechi: We did it!
The two hugged once again.
Futaba: Freedom!
Yusuke: We made it out alive.
Ryuji: With team work, baby!
Ann: I'm so happy.
Makoto: You did it, Mona. Ah...
And he was still laughing from being tickled like this.
Haru: I don't understand.
Keiko: Did you stop, Noir?
Haru: I stopped tickling Mona-Chan once the snow completely melted and I did, the feather's in my hands now. See?
Makoto: So...I guess it worked then? Mona is very lucky to have this...accident come in handy. You did great, Mona!
Still laughing as if he was enjoying this feeling to not stop. From his weight and the feeling...? Ah, you know what? I don't want to think about it. Ha!
Morgana: I did?! I'm glad to help out! Hahahaha! Sorry, Joker! I just like it a little when I'm like this, but I shouldn't! But it work to save the others...! Hahahaha! Thank you, Noir!
Haru: You're quite welcome.
Ryuji: So stop laughing already! This is a weird turn on for you!
Morgana: But I can't! Hahahaha! More! More!
With one pull back and whip of Morgana's tail to slap on his back, it was thanks to Akechi's quick thinking to snap him out of it finally.
Akechi: There you go.
Morgana: Ouch!
Keiko: That was fast.
Akechi: We won't tell anyone or Master on what happened today if you won't tell about the Coco-Fudge attic you were in, Mona. Do so, and we'll call it even.
I guess it was for the best. What happens in this Jail, stays that way for good of the Phantom Thieves' secret only. And the other three to keep to themselves. For Morgana catches his breath to see his team were all warmed up and safe.
Morgana: Right...What happened just now, got it. Not another word. In love with Lady Lavenza and nothing more. Thanks again. Phew...I'm all good now to get a nice work out and warmth there. Let's get going. (I didn't mind having it done, just as long as everyone is alive and well. That was way too close.)
Keiko: Mona, you're the best. Let's go.
Morgana: Also, I wasn't laughing besides getting tickled...I laughed because I was just happy to see you all safe. I thought I was going to slow all of you down due to my weight, but...It somehow brought good luck. It still felt good...For only my girlfriend to do privately.
I think they all get the point. So that's why Morgana was laughing more after the snow melted.
Sophia: Lovers together to do alone time is for the best.
Ryuji: Easy does it, Mona. But what did we learn today?
Ann: Keep your hot fantasies to yourself.
Doing so to forget what he almost did even when Haru stopped.
Haru: It's not your fault, Mona-Chan. I'm glad to help you out.
Futaba: I got scared.
Yusuke: Still, Mona's temporarily body weight is really helping us. Shielding, power, heat, and...
There were others Morgana was doing for all of them.
Makoto: It was more of the Shadows, Hans, and Mayor Hyodo's fault, not yours. Noir, no hard feelings.
Haru: I understand. Those Coco-Fudges have to go, it's time to go on a diet. My family created the Big Bang Burger for others to enjoy and eat well. We do have some healthy food there too. And with these sweets, it's destroying their bodies into gluttons. We cure Mona-Chan and everyone else in Sapporo, then they'll be no more.
Yeah! You tell them, Haru!
Morgana: I can't wait to go back to normal. Yea! Yea Yea!
Ryuji, Yusuke, and Futaba: Whoa!
Dancing around to moving his butt to hit Futaba, Yusuke, and Ryuji to send them flying on the snow side.
Futaba: So we're all good. There's no use getting scared about it.
Sophia: Of course. Ah, everyone else went flying from Mona's big butt.
Morgana: Sorry...
They just laugh about it and Morgana does too, yep. It was still fine the way it was.
Akechi: May I say this part? Big things come in small packages?
Keiko: *snicker* Black Crow.
Akechi: Good one there, huh? I just had to say it.
Morgana: Ha! Okay, I'll let that part slide. (Good, I'm glad I'm being useful. And Haru, we will see what made Hyodo become like this. I promise.) Well, what are we waiting for, my fellow Phantom Thieves? Let's keep on going!
Live and learn on what you eat, kids. I mean really. And back to the park they all entered at again, but with more Sentries to another battle to be done right away. Here we go and no more avalanches falling down this time since Loki has restrained Hans for the time being. Good.
Snowstorm Admin: Aah?! H-How'd you make it through the snowstorm unscathed?!
Morgana: So this is the goon behind that snowy mess...
Akechi: And another shot by Hans' doing. (Loki must've got to him quickly.)
From one enemy to fear, and another to make a snowstorm was a dumb move too.
Snowstorm Admin: Ohhhh, I'll get punished for sure if she finds out I goofed up...Sorry, but you're all gonna die right here!
Incoming giant Jack Frost to turn into, this one needs to be saved - also known as the Mocking Snowman. Let's fight! As tough as this one is with snow powers for Yusuke to use it and water against him, he was skating around to avoid any damages to get hit by the thieves.
Yusuke: Guide me, Goemon!
It was some fight, more to join in too.
Futaba: Prometheus, let's lend these guys a hand. Techno Claws!
Stopping the other Gegasites to push them away like snow being shoved off, the rest join in to use their Personas in battle.
Keiko: Arsene! Burn the ice away!
Enough to melt the ice, for Akechi and Robin Hood and Loki's help lend him a helping hand with their powers combined. Also, he was a good ice skater.
Akechi: Thank you. Don't ask how I am able to skate, it just happened during one of my cases I worked on with Master.
It was go to shoot and slash in battle against Mocking Snowman's powers.
Mocking Snowman: I won't got down that easily!
Well, he should look on how the rest of his ice skating rank and power goes away with some back up.
Ryuji: Blow him away, Captain Kidd!
Morgana: Zorro, show your might!
Ann: Carmen, time to fire things up!
Makoto: Burn rubber, Johanna!
Haru: Dance until the ice breaks, Milady!
Sophia: Finish this, Pithos!
The ice finally breaks, Mocking Snowman loses his powers and skating skills, and it was time for an All-Out Attack.
Mocking Snowman: I've lost?!
Akechi: Give it everything you got!
A big group on finish this Shadow to have the skates destroyed, and now for Keiko to heal this Shadow into a good Persona.
Keiko: Jack Frost - Mocking Snowman, I've commit thee to join!
This one was saved to go be free now with no Gegasites controlling this one.
Mocking Snowman: Thank you for saving me. Please save my other friends, they're in danger from bad lady.
For what Kaguya and Picaro has seen from the slave of Jack Frosts, Black Frosts, and King Frosts...this one was on to something big.
Keiko: Other Jack Frosts?
Akechi: If it's true, then we might know where the rest of them bit be doing right now.
Oh! It seems 'as always', Akechi was on to something again for Keiko to believe in her fiance. After the battle, the Phantom Thieves see of the icy walls to be all melted now to go to their next destination. And maybe other ones along the way. Now, back with Loki to use his berserk powers on Hans to keep him on hold for he demanded answers from him.
Hans: Oh, one of the boys Personas? You seem dead to me-!
Trying to tighten the villain with his grip, Loki was here on business.
Loki: Hey! Listen pal, I won't let you get away from almost killing Joker and her compares. I need them alive!
Hans: Huh? Why? Weren't you part of the members' Shadow parts or something?
Loki: What of it?! I can't rest in peace until I learn more on the leader of the Gegasites to keep them alive to cause shit today like they did centuries ago. But these things are different to even affect my people...! My old home and I want to know why! I know you are your sister aren't behind this mess!
Hans: Oh, that...? It's those scientists doing, we're using their skills for them to aid us in finding the weapon of Pandora's Box in return. My dear Sister and I need to wielder of it, the six keys to reveal the location, use the powers to change this world for the better, and live good lives we always wanted. After losing our three other sisters, this and the other one don't need rotten scum in the world, but the pretty women all belong to me.
And he'll do anything to have them all to bare his child and Ellen to have her things, to even have her own brother love her. Ew.
Loki: You're mess up!
Hans: But we do it with care and feelings, those other women Phantom Thieves, is that what they're called...? Yes. One looks really lovely, the one in black-!
Almost choking Hans to death by Loki's doing.
Loki: Hey! You don't even think about hurting Joker, got it?! The kid who was part of me, they belong together! And I won't let you get in their way or the others! Hell, even your own sister loves you way too much than a sibling.
Hans: She's just ill due to us being abandon but Mommy took us in. We unleash a better change, more to fix with, we get what we want, find the weapon for her, help out the other two scientists for the time being, and then...we all win in the end. Don't you get it?
Loki: What I do get is you are insane!
Thinking that Loki has won, but Hans was too fast to use something new for his escape to break through the Persona's skin in seconds. Ouch!
Hans: No, I'm a genius.
Loki: Hey! AAAAAAAH! You bastard!
This guy used some snow to make it a sharp weapon to throw, knowing of Loki can recover quickly since he was a ghost, but he let's Hans escape very easily to disappear in seconds.
Hans: Sorry, I have to run for now. I got what I needed from you guys. So, goodbye.
Off he goes and Loki was unable to sense the enemy out at all.
Loki: This isn't over yet! (He knew I can get healed and some snow got the better out of me...Shit. He's a lot harder than his sister was. I guess I have to let the kid, Joker, and the others know about this right away.)
This Persona will still be a ghost until the deed is done for him. As Kaguya and Picaro were both doing something to try freeing all the Jack Frosts slaves, they couldn't for the ice chains were to strong. They trust in them to be saved soon and gives the girls something to be helpful to them and their friends.
Kaguya: Are you sure? But we will save all of you.
Picaro: Hey! We got company! We'll come back for them later! I promise!
It was too much to work for and then wait for their rescues to trusts in the twin girls.
Kaguya: Very well, I will use these special ice with care. We will come back for all you soon, destroying the sweets come first. Farewell.
The Jack Frost waves goodbye to the girls and they take off in a hurry, before more Gegasites and Sentries returned to check on their work on the Coco-Fudges to all look normal. And with the ice parts for Kaguya and Picaro to get from them, they have their last ingredient cure.
Picaro: Cheer up. Look, we'll come back for those guys once we do the first task. I know it's hard, but they want these to go down. Let's test it on Mona first. Come on.
Hey, they won't let the captive slaves down now. While back with the Phantom Thieves again to arrive at the once icy walls area...Well, there wasn't anymore to all melt down. They can go through now.
Morgana: Hey, something's different here...
Yep, no more icy walls to see the path clearer now.
Haru: Huh? You're right, Mona-Chan! The ice wall's gone!
Futaba: No kidding! Wonder why.
From the four heater lanterns all over town?
Yusuke: Something tells me even a massive heater couldn't have done this.
Akechi: No...It couldn't, as powerful as the heaters can get to only stop the snowstorm only. I wonder why...
For Morgana might know of something.
Morgana: Hmm...I have a hypothesis. In Shibuya and Sendai, our key to progression both times was the core at the top of the Prison Keep. If the same logic applies, then couldn't that core we found earlier be the key to melting these ice walls?
From Alice to have entering different entry ways in Alice's was one and Ango like a RPG tasks was another, and now with Mariko was a bit different. A maze type of thing.
Yusuke: That could very well be possible...
Keiko: Alice was different buildings, Natsume's was an RPG items, and with Hyodo is a maze thing.
Ryuji: Yeah, not gettin' it...
Maybe not for him.
Akechi: Please leave the thinking to us, Skull.
Makoto: Remember, we're in the Metaverse. Some things we just have to accept and move on. In this case, we'll need to melt more ice walls to get inside the castle.
Right, the last two cores are to be found next.
Ann: Then we know what we need to do. All right, Sophia, ready or not-
Sophia: Here we come!
Keiko: Then let's keep doing on what we do best, team. (Finding the other two cores, curing Morgana, everyone else, finding these Jack Frost slaves, and then we change Hyodo's heart.)
Good enough to do so. But where were the last two cores at?
Ryuji: ...So where're the other cores?
Akechi: One must be somewhere down this path.
Makoto: This seems to be the only path we can take, Black Crow. Let's keep moving.
Walking through a new path and seeing a new area, with tons of icy walls all over the place, it did look very cool looking, huh? And walking through the maze to climbing up and to down to the next destination to go to. Through a few more things to see a cool landscape, but from afar had the second Prison Keep up ahead.
Yusuke: There it is...the Prison Keep.
Ann: It's our second one. Let's do this!
And from afar for Morgana to see a bit higher up.
Morgana: Careful, I can some Gegasites and Shadows nearby. Be on guard.
And they do against more Shadows and Fake ones from the Gegasites doing with a giant Lilim in their way. Calling this one, her name was the Woman Who Brings Ruin.
Woman Who Brings Ruin: Come now, let us dance.
Sweet and deadly at the same time, isn't she? Crushing the ice that were all looking like real food, and one to be hanging from above. Keiko cuts them on top of the other Fake Shadows. While Morgana takes this other Shadow down like a street fight and sumo combo.
Morgana: Hey, lady! You want to dance with me? Then let's go!
It was kind of a cool battle for Morgana to use his wind with his weapon and his strong body to his hands to whack this Shadow around to try flying and whip tailing at him right back, but he had his own tail.
Woman Who Brings Ruin: Move it, fatty!
Futaba: Wow...Look at Mona go. Fight! Fight! Fight!
Then with more ice falling down to have her wing get hit, allowing for Morgana turns into a car to run this Shadow over and then, turning back to use his body smack down attack.
Ryuji: He just pull a Poke'mon type of Snorlax! A body slam attack!
Ha! A reference of Poke'mon. But that's what Morgana did against this Shadow to be a good hit.
Akechi: Ten points to Mona.
Morgana: Joker, it's your turn.
Keiko: Got it! Lilim – Woman Who Brings Ruin, I've commit thee to join!
Saving this Shadow to go back to regular size and become a good Persona now.
Woman Who Brings Ruin: Well, I guess I know when I'm outmatched. In any case, you may pass.
Nice of her to say that, on to the next building of some shrine area of snow to go into, where more Shadows 'Fake ones of Gegasites' doing' to appear to fight off against the Phantom Thieves. Even some to withstand the cold in this place. And other Shadows besides the mouth types...
Persona #45 - Mothman = powers of silk making
Persona #46 - Kaiwan = powers of multiplying
Futaba: Be careful, we're trapped in!
Well, not with a thrown of the lantern from above from Morgana's slingshot doing...
Morgana: Bullseye!
The rest of the machine gun ones and Mothman and other Kaiwan types making more of them get a shoot out all over the room and killed by the Phantom Thieves' weapons for Keiko, Akechi, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru. With Futaba giving them a boost and Sophia still using her yoyo's only. All killed in seconds to get on to the other side and start climbing.
Keiko: We're getting good at this whole thing, aren't we?
Akechi: It takes a little practice is all.
Morgana: And team work...! Skull!
He just had to bump right at Morgana's big butt.
Ryuji: Mona! Get your fat ass up already! And you better not fart in my face easier.
Morgana: My bad... (But you're the one to talk.)
I think Ryuji farts more than he says so at others. Climbing to the top to then sliding down somehow while fighting off Shadows from down below.
Keiko: Where do we go to next?
Morgana: It looks like we can descend from here...although there are Shadows in the way.
Makoto: It's a steep slope covered with snow. The danger is there regardless.
But there was another way to get down carefully...finding some snow boards to be left out with luck.
Ryuji: Hey, isn't that a snowboard over there? Why don't we use that to cruise down?
Sophia: Goodie. This should be fun to do and sliding down safely.
And so they give it a try for they go in twos for some of them. Keiko and Akechi together, Ann and Ryuji, Makoto and Yusuke, Haru and Sophia, and...Futaba riding on top of Morgana again? Well, I guess there were only four snowboards to use.
Futaba: Go, Mona! Go!
Morgana: I know of my situation! But why am I the sleigh?!
Futaba: Outta snowboards. Sorry, we're at least killing lots of Shadows sliding! Wee!
Morgana: Just don't pull my ears please! Ouch!
And like a race they were in, they've all made it down below safely. Well, done with the entrance of the Prison Keep awaiting...Futaba gets to hacking time now.
Keiko: We got your back, Oracle.
Futaba: Got it, Joker! OK! Here goes nothing, as always.
Makoto: It's all yours, Oracle.
Haru: We'll protect you!
With Futaba getting to work, the others fight off with the Shadows with their each All-Out Attack moves...
Keiko: It is Done!
Snapping her fingers.
Akechi: Behold my Power!
Making a hero's main posing stands (I made this one up myself).
Ryuji: Laters!
Pumping his fist with excitement.
Ann: See ya!
Blowing a kiss out.
Morgana: The End!
Acting all tough.
Yusuke: A Bitter Farewell!
All dramatic like.
Makoto: Fists of Justice!
Showing no mercy.
Haru: This is your End!
Being a true hero she is with her hat down.
Sophia: Say good-bye!
And looking cute of her emoji logo face on her with the hoodie on. Sorry if I didn't show this earlier if I miss out on some, but I will try to more now. It does have Futaba getting inside of the second Prison Keep.
Futaba: Contact! We're all good to go on in. Come on!
Entering inside the second Prison Keep, only for another snowstorm to appear with tons of Fake Shadows, Gegasites, Sentries of all kind, and it was hard to see again.
Ann: Hey! Another one!
Suddenly tons of snow arms appear to grab hold of those who ate lots of Coco-Fudges to be taken and eaten for some, even for Morgana to be the person's main menu. Ew! Is it Mariko Shadow's doing...?
Morgana: Ah! Hey! Let go! Help me! I'm being dragged away!
Sophia: I'll save Mona! Find a way to stop the storm, Shadows, and saving the weaken Shadows ones!
Using her yoyo's to brag hold of Morgana from getting dragged away, it must be Queen Mariko Shadow alright to eat people? Huh!? Not good! With Keiko using a Persona to hold the other Shadow victims still, they had to turn on the heater in the area while there was some time left as everyone else fight off the enemies.
Futaba: There's another heater nearby. Maybe you should get rid of the snowstorm first!
She helps out Sophia as well to use her Persona many arms of Prometheus for them to get Morgana out of there. This has Keiko and Akechi to find the heater in order to fight and see better from the snow powers all over the place.
Keiko: Black Crow!
Akechi: It's on! Come on, back to battle!
It does destroy the snow power to freeing the other victims and Morgana, nice one! Now to stop the enemies next, but how?
Morgana: I'm free! But how are we going to win?
Ryuji: Hey, Mona! Move like a hockey pug and spun these assholes outta here!
Using his weapon to hit Morgana like a bat to hit his stomach to go spinning all over the icy floor to right at the Shadows and then...
Ann: Skull!
Ryuji: What? I was only helping!
...This made Morgana to feel like he had to let something big out of him right away. A very big and smelly one.
Morgana: Ah, man...I can't hold it...! Eat this, Shadows!
He farts! A loud, big, and strong smelly one right at the enemies to hate the smell there to be very badly like a powerful gas bomb to get to the thieves' noses too.
Futaba: Ah! Mona!
Haru: Oh, dear.
Sophia: Bad stink detected. Badly...!
Yusuke: My nose is burning! It's very disgusting!
Makoto: This is not a normal gas!
Ryuji: Mona! I thought I stink worse!
Ann: So gross!
Keiko: I can't breathe...! It did give us the advance now, I guess... (It was an accident, I know!)
Akechi: I suppose everybody poops...! How fowl!
Yeah, and with Keiko using her Persona to make many more of her to cut and shoot the rest of them down. At least Morgana did it again 'that one slip out' to use his wind to blow the rest of the stink away in midair.
Morgana: Yes! Ha! I still got it! Big or not!
Keiko: Not bad. Ah, you guys are still breathing?
Seems like they can breathe again from coughing a lot to let the bad smell to finally leave.
Yusuke: We're fine, Joker. A fresh of relief. We've eliminated all obstacles. Let us proceed to the tower.
Ryuji: All right, let's take what we came for! And damn, Mona, you friggin' ripped one-!
Using his tail again at Ryuji...
Morgana: Don't whack me like a pinata ever again! I had to release one before the battle anyways! But...I did help out again.
Ryuji: OK! I got it!
Now up to the top where the second Prison Keep of the core was at, but Morgana to see from down below since he was taller. What was this one? Getting it – to be some type of Beautiful Flower from which is Mariko's favorite. It does look nice like the one from the gardens yesterday.
Futaba: Yay, we got a core! Why's it a flower?
Keiko: And it's only one to not die from the weather.
A flower to never wilted away either. Hmmm...
Ann: Wasn't she telling off that one staff member who let that flower wither?
The one she yelled at? Seems like it.
Haru: I wonder if it's related to what she said earlier...How she wanted to make Sapporo a beautiful destination for all.
Yusuke: While I certainly understand her passion, sacrificing her own people to do it is completely unacceptable.
Haru: ...Yes. I agree.
Poor Haru. Every town to have a mayor has to care for others before the things to make it look good, but nothing's ever perfect in life.
Akechi: Looks never matter of perfection, it makes the person more ugly than the appearances.
It is true, life is like that a lot.
Makoto: At any rate, we retriever the core. Let's head back to Odori Park.
Heading out from Sapporo Jail - Arboretum for the final core to get. Back to the park, they stop to see something.
Ann: Look!
No more ice walls around, so this was a very good thing.
Morgana: The ice wall is gone, just as we thought! I don't see anymore around either.
Keiko: Hold it! I sense another Shadow nearby. Over there! Stay on guard.
A droid type of Shadow was ready for them.
Ice Tower Admin: You, thief! Return what you stole at once! You have no idea what kind of torture awaits us if the Monarch finds out...
Becoming a giant Mothman as Vampire Moth, the Phantom Thieves were ready to fight back.
Ann: Sorry to hear that, but there's no turning back!
Yeah, bring it on! Lots of silks to spit out and use to hit or trap the Phantom Thieves with to fly and was powerful in battle.
Haru: Silk?
Yusuke: This is very disturbing type of attack.
It was sticky to not get trapped from it, with tons of Coco-Fudges flying all over for other slaves to work hard for the Gegasites to gather more energy from them. So mess up! More to come flying down on them, Futaba uses her shield...
Futaba: Got it! But...Incoming sneak attack!
Keiko: Cover your mouths!
Akechi: Don't eat those!
Doing so carefully without letting go of their hands to remove their mouths, not one bit.
Makoto: I don't want to become fat again!
Vampire Moth: Now...Open wide!
Was this the end...? No, wait! None of the sweets were landing on them, but someone was stopping them being Morgana's big mouth to gather lots of Coco-Fudges. He's saving his looks to save his teammates. Wow.
Ryuji: Mona...? What the hell?
Ann: Wow, look at you good. Thank you.
Sophia: Please don't choke.
With more Mothman Shadows of Gegasites showing up, Morgana doesn't eat them but uses it as a sniper gun of gross chewed up food to destroy them to blow up quickly for eating a lot instead.
Vampire Moth: What the hell?!
Morgana: Chew on this! Yuck! Sorry, but I'm on a diet now.
Nice shot to getting them all, for Keiko and Akechi shoot off the big Shadow's wings and Ann uses her whip and fire power to finish it off.
Ann: Carmen, let's fried up this Shadow!
It does the trick to be set on fire screaming, panicking, running around the fields, and trying to put himself out. Luckily...Morgana kicking the snow all over his body, Yusuke's powers, and Keiko using a Persona with water power did the trick.
Yusuke: It is time to heal this one, Joker.
Keiko: You got it. (A gross move, but Morgana knows on what not to eat anymore.) Mothman – Vampire Moth, I've commit thee to join!
This Shadow becomes a Persona now to fly off to freedom.
Vampire Moth: I guess you've all outsmarted me. Eat well and stop these terrible sweets. You guys got this.
Well then, let's keep on going then.
Akechi: I'm glad you didn't eat those anymore, Mona.
Morgana: Thanks. I had to think of sushi to keep me going on a good feeling to turn back real soon. I hope the sisters are doing fine getting me and the other victims the cure.
Soon enough, they'll be getting back to you guys too for Kaguya and Picaro, as well as Loki too from seeing Hans Guyver in a bit too on his end. Moving a bit further to see no more icy walls in their way.
Keiko: I think we're in the clear here.
Morgana: Yeah, look! The ice wall disappeared!
What luck to have a few more things to be done next.
Haru: We can move on to the next Prison Keep now. Let's go.
Heading towards Sapporo Jail - Sapporo Tower with...Wow! Tons of icy walls from the straight end and the right side to be covered all over.
Akechi: Where was the location again?
Haru: There. The Prison Keep is there, but...
Sophia: It's the same ice barrier we encountered at Odori Park. We can't get through like this.
Using a slingshot to fire off a few shots with no luck on Morgana's end.
Morgana: It's no use. I can't break any of it down.
Ryuji: But the core is just ahead, right? What do we do?
Instead of breaking through to the other side, why not climb around it to make it from top to bottom?
Yusuke: How about up there?
Keiko: Yeah...Good call, Fox. We can climb the ice type of stairs to boost us up top.
Yusuke: Of course. We may be able to drop in from above, as long as we're willing to climb.
With Morgana can easily for his height and the others to follow up next.
Futaba: Nice thinking, Inari! Then let's head over there!
Up they go for Morgana to get up fine, and the others to follow up next to use leg work and Futaba to have no trouble. Now they need to slide down again.
Ann: Hey, don't you think we'd get there much easier if we slide down?
Sophia: Good idea. You're sharp, Panther.
Keiko: So we can go sledding again.
Why not? It worked for them once and fought their way down.
Yusuke: Witness as we gallantly soar down these slopes to safety! This may just be the inspiration I need.
Makoto: You consider this inspiring, Fox? Oh, you can be silly sometimes.
Akechi: I have a faster idea for this one time...Mona?
Using his tail to hold on to a huge sledded for all of the thieves to hang on from behind, he would go down with them holding on tight.
Morgana: Better than having my ears pulled. I'm ready! Everyone, hold on tight!
Getting on for Morgana slides down to go much faster, and easier to take out lots of Shadows on the way down. Wow! Fun!
Ryuji: Woohoo! Shred the gnar, baby!
Keiko: Wow! This is fun!
Haru: Ahh, I love the feeling of wind in my hair!
Almost sliding down below to the end...
Makoto: Hey, careful! Look ahead!
Sophia: I really like the motion for Mona's body really helps us out! Shoooom!
Landing down for the sledge hits all the Shadows and the Phantom Thieves use their weapons to cut the rest of them down.
Futaba: Shadows! Defeat them and move on!
No problem there, it was time to get around to the third and final Prison Keep where Mariko Shadow's core was over the other side.
Akechi: Well, that was fun. Where to next?
Yusuke: As I suspected, it seems we can enter from here.
A ice block to push with Morgana's help to be a step to climbing on the other side.
Ryuji: All right, let's do this thing!
Moving the block, climbing up, and getting to the other side of the Prison Keep, they made it. Now to fight off another powerful Shadow, a Desire Shadow one again to make the area much colder in the building, but not a snowstorm for a heater thing this time at least – the woman with paint all over her body and a snake around her neck. Huh?
Persona #47 - Lilith = powers of a snake
Don't worry, this one a regular Persona version here. She is also known as the Harlot of Desire. Cold, snake powers, and she was fast for the Phantom Thieves to do something about this one to get to the Prison Keep top after this fight.
Morgana: Another Desire Shadow appears!
Harlot of Desire: Who will win this fight? You or my snake? Let's find out.
Strong as this one was...the Phantom Thieves do their best in battle. With Futaba giving them the boost up.
Futaba: Not happening, lady! Cyber Net Strike!
Defensing up now, it was time fight back. Take out the snake and then the main character right away. As fast and strong they were together, but Morgana was for the time being a bit stronger than the snake to pull away from its owner.
Morgana: Sorry, no cheating...Furious Fangs!
Now the rest of them join in.
Ann: Burning Claw!
Makoto: Venom Blast!
Sophia: SP Piercer!
Well done, leaving Lilith was nothing left from her snake. No snow powers, all clear, and it was time for some pay back.
Harlot of Desire: My snake!
Akechi: You cheat first, and now we fight back, sorry. Saber Sword Slash!
Haru: Lily Whip!
Ryuji: Raging Storm Clash!
Yusuke: Aqua Typhoon!
Now she was defeated for Keiko to heal this Shadow of badness and into a good Persona with her skills.
Keiko: You and your snake are fine now. Lilith – Harlot of Desire, I've commit thee to join!
Done and done! It was time to climb up the stairs to get the last core right away.
Harlot of Desire: I guess I was beaten in the end then. You all won fairly, sorry for cheating.
Well, she did say she was sorry. Good. Now then, the last of Mariko Shadow's third and final core was...a Mayor's Badge. A snow symbol type of badge there. For it was part of Sapporo to run a lot to keep the town and the people there happy, yeah something must've happened to this woman.
Morgana: All right, this is the third core.
Ann: Is this...a badge?
A very powerful symbol of Sapporo one. Not just that, but any from other parts from different countries has something of a hope to keep things well and such.
Makoto: It's a Sapporo Central mayor's insignia - a simple yet effective symbol of power.
Akechi: Other countries besides Japan has different logos. Power, trust, dreams, and other things proves on how well people work in the towns they promise to make it wonderful. Well, maybe not too perfect. It's asking too much in my opinion.
No, he does make a good point there.
Keiko: I see...Well, we go the cores. We should meet with Kaguya and Picaro before on the way to Odori Park area. Come on.
Morgana: I hope the cure is ready! Wait up! (The one fun things to be like this...Being tall, sliding down snowy hills, and being strong. But I want to be my regular handsome self again.)
Still, the Phantom Thieves made it this far to not stop just yet. Good to know. From items to get, same with treasure chests to open up, Shadows to stop, some to save the real ones from the Gegasites, got three cores, and what's to do next...Meet up with the twins for the cure for the slave of Jack Frosts to give to them for Morgana and others from the Coco-Fudges curse. Also, other Treasure Demons too for more cash to get.
Akechi: Can't forget to take those out.
No kidding...So with Hans watching on the still...
Hans: These Phantom Thieves have to be dealt with, well for some of them.
The twin sisters try to meet back with the other Phantom Thieves...
Picaro: It's time to see them for Morgana to recover!
Kaguya: And everyone else before we can rescue the Jack Frosts next!
While also Loki one his way back too as well...
Loki: I might as well tell the kid and the others about this brother like his sister...They're both insane! I can't let them get to Joker at all! (Keiko...!)
And of course for in the shadows had Mariko Shadow watching on her meals to eat for some from her Coco-Fudge madness, with one to be Morgana as her big meal to munch on too. So gross! 'We'll see what she really looks like soon enough'.
Mariko Shadow: The black cat one...I must eat it...
All this and more on the Phantom Thieves' next move with all three cores collected now, as always...more to come next time for sure. A cold one this was so far, but don't worry. All will be well little at a time to get to the end of the Desires to give back to everyone else. As well as all the Coco-Fudges are going to get destroyed for good. Yeah, seriously!
