Persona 5 Strikers – From Light and Dark
By Tayla Drago
Episode #58 - Akechi's Parents and Zenkichi's solving skills
Not good at all...Ichinose made Sophia like EMMA to change the world and everyone's Desires to be taken to gather energies for all Gegasites to get stronger and grow along with their queen too. Like Sophia as well for her, Aika, Hitomi, Hans, and Ellen are all mind controlled under Ichinose, her other twin sister Sango, and Dr. Guru to use clone energy and Loki's family parts to awaken Pandora's Box; since EMMA is the main core to kill of her only daughter Mia for the curse to live on. With the body parts of the other four get to this for the clones of Guyvers did the bad stuff in the real ones while they were fast asleep. And what's worse – Akechi's aunties are Ichinose and Sango of her mother's older twin sisters. This brainwashing of this mess needs to be stopped, but the five are stopping the Phantom Thieves to be killed – Loki and Raiho are down and Sophia as the wielder of Pandora's Box 'with the six medallions' help' was found for Guru and Sango to have and Ichinose to see this through the end. Keiko's hurt for the heartbroken Akechi to aid his lover; for them, Zen, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Morgana needed to defend themselves and try to find a way to save everyone else and get the weapon back, and fast!
Akechi: Joker!
Keiko: I'm fine, Black Crow, just dizzy...
Falling down, Akechi catches Keiko before she hit the ground.
Akechi: You're not, you took a hit worse compare to Loki and Raiho.
Keiko: Sorry...But I don't want to hurt Sophia and the others. A robot version of Mia, Hans, Ellen, Aika, and Hitomi...We have to set them free.
Akechi: I know, but at this rate...
Sophia with her red eyes was ordered a command to carry out.
Ichinose: Now get going, Sophia.
Sophia: Understood.
Ichinose: Hey, have the other four back her up, please. We might need them still.
Dr. Guru: Huh? Very well, I got what I needed. OK, my pretty puppets, I love it when you listen to me this time. Now go play.
Snapping his fingers, the five were ready to fight. Incoming! Akechi carries Keiko out to safety.
Akechi: Dammit...! Hold on!
Keiko: Black Crow...! Guys! Defend yourselves! We can try to reach out to them all!
Trying to without any of the Phantom Thieves getting killed first.
Loki: No use...the doctor and that woman won't allow it...! My people...Joker, don't you die on me...!
Ann: Sophie, please! Snap out of it!
Using her whip to slow Sophia down, only for Ellen to step in to use her powers to control her movements of her body.
While Hans had his darkness to blind Yusuke from using his sword to cut anythin to shield them.
Yusuke: No! Ngh...Sophia! Don't you know who we are?! Everyone, please!
With every weapons to swing at, Kaguya uses her light water to wash them away. And guns to have Picaro to pus the rarity beat down on them all.
Sophia: Phantom Thieves are opponents. They require elimination.
From ESP powers for Sophia can't be hurt, but she can for the other four here her backups.
Morgana: Sophie! We need her and the rest to snap out of this already!
Trying to use his slingshots at Dr. Guru, only for Sango to use her powers to melt them all with her fire powers.
Sango: ...
Morgana: Crap!
Dr. Guru: Sorry, but no hitting the doctor. Try that again, then one his from my creative button will put the entire children test subjects to sleep forever. It will kill them in seconds. Night, night.
Now that was a dirty trick to ever to and Morgana to back down from hurting them anymore. No!
Loki: Cowards!
Ichinose: See? This is why EMMA saved them, don't make it worse. And there's no point in talking to her. Sophia cannot defy my commands. I did something special while the doctor had to save the other four.
Akechi: Auntie...No, Ichinose...How could you? Create something to hurt others and join with Guru of all people?! Why?!
Makoto: And you really are the one who made Sophie?
Seems like it since she had more control over the poor AI.
Ichinose: Yep, she might just be an early version of EMMA, but she's still quite impressive, eh?
From Akechi's sword and Keiko's dagger push the yoyo's from Sophia from hurting them badly, it slow her down a bit.
Akechi: It's still wrong! Look what you made Sophie do to Joker!
Ichinose: And you two are in love? Cute, but it's pointless to survive since she can't get hurt under my command. It's very simple.
The others couldn't do anything either since Guru and Ichinose both had the upper hand. Getting hurt a bit and almost close to death!
Zen: Gah, do we really have to go all out here?
Haru: No! We can't hurt Sophie-she's our friend! We can't hurt the others either! It's wrong!
Zen: Get back!
Saving Haru's life, Zen had his guns to have them dodge and away from them at least.
Akechi: Wolf! Noir!
Zen: Don't be ridiculous! She'll take off our heads if we don't stop her, Hans, Ellen, Aika, and Hitomi somehow! I don't like this either! And THEN who's going to save the world?! We have to figure out how to stop them!
Sophia: ...
The others were strong, allowing for Raiho to use his weapons to create ice to stop Hans, Ellen, Aika, and Hitomi. They'll live to not die under ice with some help.
Keiko: Hey!
Loki: They'll live! I gave some energy of my old powers to give some air to breathe, but it's not enough to snap them out of it...! I'm sorry...
Same with Raiho too. Well, it was still worse for Sophia to back flip and use her yoyo's to finish the job herself.
Dr. Guru: Please...you only made them stronger to be on freeze mode, how sad. Anyways, robot girl, finish them off for us.
About to cut down Keiko this time and to have Akechi to get hit a lot and one more at Keiko again, she had a Persona to shield her and Akechi to push Sophia long enough.
Akechi: She's too strong!
Keiko: I only had to stop her with my Persona skills, but it's still not enough!
Still standing, but Zen jumps in again...
Zen: Oh no you don't!
He does push Sophia down and her weapons too, what luck! Soon the other Phantom Thieves members rush to Sophia's side first before everyone else can happen next. From Ryuji and Ann first.
Ann: Just hang on, Sophie!
This had Pithos attacking Ryuji and Ann from a laser beam type of blast.
Ryuji: Panther! Ouch!
Ann: ...! No...
With the lovers together and the other members joining with them, Sophia had her Persona thing ready for the killing blow.
Keiko: I have to do something...! Rainbow of the Flaming Heart!
But nothing was happening...
Ichinose: Oops, sorry. Doesn't work much on AI's now. But nice try.
Keiko: No...!
Akechi: Joker, we will save Sophie. We will save them all.
Keiko: Right...
With Keiko bleeding from the head still and Akechi helping her out, with the thieves, Loki, and Raiho aiding them all. They have to keep their ground up.
Loki: Stupid idiot...! SNAP OUT OF IT! I want to at least have the kid's aunt come through, her other sister's more mess up with the doctor's! You're being use to learn a lot to change, not to be like this! It's the only way to restore the others without your help! Otherwise...the weapon will change this world to have humans brainless and worthless forever! Don't make me murder you, otherwise there will be no end to it!
Wow, strong worse from this changed Persona ghost, huh? For Sophia to hear that and seeing Keiko was bleeding, her eyes were turning blue. She might be fighting back from Ichinose's control. No way...Lowering her weapon, it seems to be working.
Haru: Sophie...
Makoto: Is she coming back?
Dropping her weapons, Sophia's head was malfunctioning to move backwards to the edge.
Akechi: She's going to...!
Zen: Hey! Behind you!
Keiko and Raiho rush over to Sophia's side on foot 'no matter how hurt Keiko was', only for Sophia to begin to fall down.
Sophia: I'm so...sorry...
Too late, she falls for the two arrived too late.
Keiko: No!
Ryuji: Joker!
With Ryuji pulls Keiko back up, they loss a member. No! The others to see too, Akechi screams in sorrow and anger at the same time.
Akechi: Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Morgana: Sophie!
Angering Loki even more...he takes it out on Guru to pushing Sango aside in seconds. Having his sword out near the doctor's next, he means business.
Loki: You BASTARD! I'll FUCKING KILL YOU FOR EVERYTHING! ALL OF IT! YOU Bastard-!
But soon the ice breaks. Having Hans, Ellen, Aika, and Hitomi's powers combined to push Loki down to the floor to be unable to move at all.
Dr. Guru: Scary and nice try, but...it didn't work. I'm sorry. But I still win. You looked like you wanted me dead only and not on the Persona-User of a detective's hands, right? And when you saw the robot girl fall to her doom, you felt real human emotions. See, this is why I'm removing them for a reason here. Now, scram.
Using his powers of the coins fusing in the Pandora's Box now under Guru's control, a blast pushes Loki down for the count.
Sango: …..
Akechi: Loki...! (He was upset after what Sophia did to help us but doing it for me against out deal.)
Meaning this Persona 'who was also crying right now' was really caring deep down to even have Raiho crying of frozen tear drops too.
Ichinose: Well, that was weird. She just did that herself, right? Just how in the world was she able to do that?
Akechi: Shut up, Ichinose! Aunt or not, you're nothing but shit like your sister and you know it! Compare to Dr Guru, you both are monsters!
Even the others agree there too.
Ryuji: You...YOU BASTARD!
Keiko: Akechi's right! You and Guru are terrible people!
Ann: How could you be so cruel?!
Dr. Guru: Ouch. They got you there, we still have four text subjects already, it's plenty. Even if the girl lives, you can still control her.
Not a good way of putting it.
Ichinose: It's nothing. And me? Cruel? I suppose you might see it that way. In fact, your reaction now could even be way EMMA used Sophia and the others as the ace up her sleeve. She knows you'd never kill one of your own or your new friends.
So mess up!
Yusuke: Grr...You monster!
Keiko: You don't know anything! You are only being used, Ichinose! All of this for Guru to get what he wants and Sango doesn't even care about you either! TO come this far, do you think EMMA still care by changing this world? Well, does she? No! If she did, then we didn't need the weapon to begin with at all!
Dr. Guru: Boring...What if I am, huh?
I think he was really hinting there at the others.
Ichinose: Now that, you and I can agree on.
Zen: Are you two intentionally pissing us off?!
Ichinose: That's not what I meant. I'm incapable of comprehending that sort of emotion anyway. I'm the textbook definition of "heartless." I've been told I didn't have one, ever since I was little.
Akechi: But everyone has a heart, heartless means how a true killer of a criminal are.
Yeah Akechi was on to something there.
Ichinose: I act all friendly and easygoing and stuff, but it's just for appearances, heheh...
This is kind of hard to believe in.
Keiko: Wait, you're not making any sense. (I know she's different somehow to see the truth, but not to kill her for Akechi's sake. She's still his only aunt. Sango's long gone with her Desires removed already.)
Sango: ...
Yeah, she's the real heartless being.
Ichinose: Well, I doubt you'd get it, Phantom Thieves of Hearts...Any further discussion would be pointless. I already know my next move, anyway.
Ann: You're seriously not done yet?!
Dr. Guru: I still needs her on the weapon set up for EMMA after all.
So much to be done real soon to be a very bad thing.
Ichinose: So our little ace up the sleeve cast herself into the abyss leaving the other four test subjects left behind...Well, EMMA made sure to eave me a little insurance for contingencies like this.
Soon to appear for Guru wanted it was some tech diamond-like thing.
Morgana: Huh? What the-?!
All red to begin charging up.
Ann: What?
Dr. Guru: Well it's been fun now, it's time for all of you to be gone.
Ichinose: Cool, right? It really is gorgeous. You heard the doc, so sorry it had to end like this too, Akechi. But what can you do? Phantom Thieves, it's been real.
Here it comes...
Akechi: No!
Smiling for the others to try to fight, only for Ichinose tech core blasts them away from the area for good. Are they dead? The Phantom Thieves? Loki? Raiho?
Sango: ….
Ichinose: And that's that.
But before the three to continue on with their next step of their operations...
Dr. Guru: Wait! Sango knows something worth it for once of you doing something to them. It didn't kill them, you just teleport the thieves away from us. Why not kill them?
Ichinose: What of it? Look, let just have our jobs be done for a better world, come now. You have all you need while I do the rest. It was our deal to have Sango agree too.
Dr. Guru: Still, another energy level from this thing couldn't murder them all. They'll come back to try again to be all pointless. Your nephew, the Jack Frost, Loki, and they won't give up. This plan will work and them interference's pointless.
Staring at each other, Ichinose didn't mind but to let out a sigh without a care in the world.
Ichinose: I said I stop them if so, not killed unless it does happen during battle. Don't judge me. Sango gets me, unlike you.
Moving along for Guru just goes with it for now from Ichinose's smarts.
Sango: ….
Dr. Guru: She's nothing for what I'm about to do next. If you're still in on this, then so be it. (I need to set this one up for Pandora to come back to me...my love...)
Yeah, something about this man is mess up...Could he be responsible of murdering...? Really? And related ancestor of Pandora's brother? Huh? So why did Ichinose made the others get transported away from there and somewhere in the Jail and not killed? This is getting so confused right now. So, where were the Phantom Thieves at now with Loki and Raiho? Well, they landed in the bottom of the Abyss Jail all alive...beside Raiho getting his snowy foot to be fine, while Loki tries to get back up his feet again.
Loki: I take it we're all alive?
Keiko: No one's dead but we're hurt...but more from the heart...
And from the injured head too, poor Keiko.
Akechi: Joker!
Keiko: Still...dizzy...
Akechi: Don't strain yourself, I got you.
Keiko: I'm sorry...
Akechi: No, I'm the one who's sorry...You got hurt because of me. Ichinose and Sango are my aunties...And Loki-!
Loki: I just loss my cool is all, the doc got the best outta me! But it won't happen again. Be happy you're still breathing, kid.
That means Loki was worried about Akechi and what he was going through, even with Sophia...As for everyone else seem to be all counted for and well.
Ryuji: Dammit...The hell just happened?
With Raiho places ice powers to heal everyone's injures - like Keiko and Loki's too, they'll be fine.
Keiko: Raiho, you're the best. I'll have Pixie's powers heal us up too.
Akechi: Good idea. But please lie down until your pain goes away.
Keiko: Okay, Black Crow. I will.
As for the others...
Zen: Are you guys okay? Goro?
Akechi: I'm fine now. I just needed to think.
Getting back up on their feet and healed, this area was new to all of them.
Morgana: Joker?
Keiko: I'm fine, you guys. Really. If I haven't moved away, Sophie would've cracked my skull. She didn't mean to, it was Ichinose's doing controlling her.
Makoto: A slight cut, but Joker's fine. Thank goodness. So where are we now?
Well, they fall off the edge of the area core back up top.
Yusuke: It appears we were cast deep underground.
Futaba: We really got blasted by that red crystal.
Ann: Yeah, but at least something broke my fall. Thanks for being there, Mona.
And that must've hurt.
Morgana: Lady Ann, I'm glad you weren't hurt.
Ryuji: Pervert!
Hitting him on the head.
Morgana: Skull! Ouch! I was being a gentleman to save your girlfriend, stupid!
Ryuji: Who are you calling "stupid"!
Getting smacked aside the heads by Loki's doing this time instead of Akechi doing it. Huh...?
Loki: Shut it! We have more things to worry about, remember?! My people, the other kids, the kid's aunts, and the doc. They have Pandora's Box and took some energy from Sophie to end up...I should've never let my guard down!
Akechi: Loki, it wasn't your fault. (He does care deep down. He took his anger on Guru for my sake.)
For Raiho to bow for forgiveness in the way of saying he was really sorry.
Loki: If the two human powers of sister Personas weren't mind control, then I wouldn't feel so weak. Joker's hurt because of it.
Haru: Wait, where's Sophie?!
Looking around by luck, Sophia's body was lying the ground where they ended up at.
Keiko: Over there! (Sophia's alive...! Well, programming well, but still out of it right now. Still, we found her!)
Futaba: Sophie!
Approaching to her, Haru holds up Sophia for her, Ann, Futaba 'doing her computer work', Morgana, Makoto, Ryuji, Yusuke, Raiho, and Akechi carrying Keiko go check on their AI friend. While Loki floated around from above them.
Haru: Are you all right, Sophie?!
Loki: Tch...She better not be dead.
Yusuke: There's no sign of activity. Oracle, how is she?
Will Sophia be okay at all?
Futaba: I don't know. Even if I wanted to check her out, I couldn't do it here.
Akechi: Anything on your end, Joker?
Keiko: Functioning is all I can sense out, but that's it. It's hard to tell since she's only AI.
Some sign there, but not enough.
Zen: Dammit, what do we do now?
Ann: Sophie...
Haru: I wonder is she was able to hear us...
She might have...
Ryuji: I dunno, but...but she said...she was sorry...
Keiko: Yes, I heard her said it too before she fell down.
Yusuke: She defied her command and sacrificed herself so she wouldn't have to take our lives...
Makoto: Sophie...
A sad thing, but still...they can't let this stop the mission. They needed to move on for Sophi's sake to save the other and stop the madness. It was not too late to do so.
Morgana: Sorry guys, but we can't stay here like this. No matter our other friends or other family relates on Black Crow's end, it does suck. All of this mess I do get it. We have to get out of here. Let's grab Sophie and track down the exit.
Using some powers from Loki to carrying Sophia's body in a battle will save the others the trouble.
Loki: Let me so I won't hear any complains from any of you.
Akechi: Thank you.
This was the only way to do so, Loki will carry Sophie and Raiho will guard her body with his life.
Yusuke: That sounds agreeable, but what do we do about the Ark?
Akechi: Our only opinion is to stop it.
Ryuji: Yeah! We can't just let it do whatever it wants-runnin' its mouth about becoming' a god and shit...and Pandora's Box, the doc's gonna use it for all hell to break lose.
Makoto: To release more curse of Pandora of the Gegasites...If the Ark meant it in the way that we've seen before...
Then it has to be stopped.
Haru: We have to stop it, no matter what it takes. Dr. Guru is the true villain and Sango-San. As for Ichinose-San's not seeing the true horrors yet.
Akechi: I want to try to stop my aunt and talk to her. Please, Joker. I'm begging you.
He meant it to save his last family member.
Keiko: Yeah, same foes for Ichinose. We'll definitely stop this. In any case, we should get going soon.
Akechi: I can carry you until your head's all over better. Please let me.
Keiko: Please don't ask a lot, I hope it's not so much.
Akechi: It isn't.
In any case...
Keiko: Then we have to do this.
All of them get back up to be ready to go.
Morgana: Yeah, you know it. Now let's get out of here!
Now the question was this, how will they escape? With a Shadow sneaking around...being Mot, who left during the battle, the bigger Gegasite infection, he wants another match.
Haru: I'm worried about Sophie. Let's find a way out of here, and quickly.
Morgana: We should try gaining altitude when we can. Considering how far we fell down here...
About to move to make sure they have their energies intact, but hold that thought...
Keiko: A Shadow-! No, a Gegasite Shadow!
Mot appears again!
Coffin-Bone God: It's pay back time-! Ah!
From Raiho's sword skills to freeze up the enemy in seconds real quick, leaving Loki to destroy the Gegasite from within this Shadow.
Loki: Not in a mood right now, so stay down.
It was saved and the other one destroyed.
Akechi: Joker, make it quick.
Keiko: I'll heal it. Sorry, but we're in a hurry, you're free now. Mot - Coffin-Bone God, I've commit thee to join!
This Shadow was healed into a good Persona now.
Coffin-Bone God: Ah. Thank you so much. I'm sorry, please hurry and find a way to slow down the chaos that's about to be unleashed, it's not too late...
Leaving now, the others make sure they were ready to head out.
Loki: Within ten seconds, my personal new record.
This Persona sounds like he was back to normal so far. Time to double heal on HP and SP before heading back up with Futaba's help on this one.
Futaba: Looks like this area's safe. Let's rest up while we can.
Doing so to be all good as new.
Morgana: I think it worked.
Futaba: Of course it did. All right, let's roll out!
But before that...
Zen: Hold up! And we will get going no matter what happens if it does, because either way...we'll stop it.
Akechi: It might be a chance Pandora's Box is open. So if it is when we go back up there...
Keiko: I know, we might have to be ready then. But what's on your minds? Black Crow? Wolf?
Something big, they might've solved a few more parts of the mysteries involving Dr. Kano Guru the most.
Loki: Let me guess...rethinking on what we've learned, know, told, and more on our true enemies? Then do tell.
This episode will be a about it until the next one to get back on track for sure, just wanted to let everyone else know. So now...
Akechi: Here's what we know about...Kuon Ichinose and Sango Ichinose are my aunts. Older twin sisters of my mother, same mother but two difference fathers then. Sango seems to be more working with Dr. Guru while Ichinose has her own goals. They worked on the project along with Konoe, Owada, and Shuzo. With Shido poisoning my mother, but with some help by someone. It was one of them. While Mia was the only daughter of Pandora herself wen she was cursed to end it all and her lover, with the box which was Gegasite enemies to Thor and Odin from Loki's family. Sealed away, only with the weapon, wielder of his or her energy to be Sophia to be the AI of Mia and others like clones and body parts of Loki's other family members; the Gegasites and their queen are getting stronger from every Metaverse Jails we're all been in even this one.
Zen: Alice, Natsume, Miyako, Konoe, Shuzo's ghost, and...my daughter with a evil spirit using her body...
That was hard to say in words, and I don't blame Zen on that one either.
Keiko: As for the event for Owada and Konoe helped Guru murdered Shuzo from a fire accident in the labs. Since they took in Hans, Ellen, Aika, and Hitomi. They each got bodies parts from Mia who's Pandora to awaken to their powers...Hmmm...The Guyver twins became their own Persona-User, but clones by Guru to do other bad stuff in their sleep, while Aika and Hitomi were once humans but sacrifice themselves for saving both Hans and Ellen's lives to be reborn as Personas...Kaguya Picaro to be Aika and Kaguya Hime to be Hitomi. They are half sisters as well to be somewhat related to Akechi, he has step sisters and a step brother. As well as Shuzo and Akechi's mother were in love once to care for them more.
Morgana: Oh, talking about the mystery we've uncovered with so far...Also Mia was human to be like Sophia now, she was really poison from an ill disease to die so soon by Dr. Guru's doing. My goodness!
Anything else to add in too?
Loki: I also remembered the doc saying he was some very great grandson to Pandora's brother. Out of her entirely family to love someone, but his friend loved her more, her brother cared about very much. And this has something to do with this mess how...?
Makoto: Besides we've gotten all Six Medallions from Jails, they chanin the entire Pandora's Box weapon, Mia hid the weapon in herself even after death to become an android now. Who knew.
Futaba: As much as I like playing guessing games in mysteries too, there has to be a connection to everything, right?
Trying to think some more...As they all put the pieces together on this one.
Ryuji: They each had elements of the six too and something of the weapon itself since Sophie is the weapon and wielder, right?
The six wielders of the six medallions to talk about next.
Keiko: Both Kaguya and Picaro had the yellow medallion, they gave it to me when I first met them with Lava.
Ann: Alice was the green medallion...
Yusuke: Natsume is red...
Haru: Mari-Chan had the blue medallion...
Zen: Akane's ghost with the purple medallion, to remember it all again...
Akechi: And Konoe had the orange medallion...They were all chains to keep the box sealed, then Sophie...
The first part to get right for even Raiho understood as well.
Loki: Oh, I get it now. Sophie was the heart of all six to be the seventh part of the weapon itself and the recreation of Pandora, correct?
Morgana: Right. As for Guru who was smart and jealous of Shuzo's work to do things badly and not good to even his own kids too...He hated him and Akechi's mother to even have her the most since he murder Shuzo to be burned and for us to have his ghost rest on, Dr. Guru did-!
Yep, Shido came to Guru to make something to poison Akechi's own mother to love Shuzo instead with her kid and then...too weak and ill of the brain to take her own life.
Akechi: ….I should've known, but sadly I did. Guru not only helped Shido...murder my mother, but he also killed who I thought to be a good father to me, Shuzo in the lab. He knew the project would die to keep the power in check from the other four until this day came. Dammit!
Keiko: Black Crow...
A few other parts solved so far, and yet sad to talk about too. With one more big twist to add in next about Dr. Kano Guru himself.
Ann: We know, your aunt. We will stop her, let her see things clearly if we have too, but her sister and Dr. Guru have to be stopped.
Haru: They're not even humans anymore!
Sad but it was all true.
Zen: If Guru's related to Pandora's of her brother to be one year younger than she was and were happy to have one life in the family until the curse she unleashed took their lives, I think her ghost is trapped in EMMA. The Queen Gegasite is her heart. An AI function of a god are as one, and making the clones of many to grow with human Desires taken and becoming mindless zombies...
Loki: They have some sort of power of any kind is what makes them into whole of dis-form of a god type. Last time was a statue, and now a machine in the twenty first century of all things.
From there for Loki to remember it all, it was coming together there.
Yusuke: So, who was Pandora's lover who brought Mia into their world? Until her timing...
Futaba: She was killed by poison all along to look like she was born weak of an illness and died for it. Akechi to remember had a meaning since it had something to do with his family, half siblings of the four, aunties, and mother. Hmmm...I dunno...this is a tough one.
Ryuji: We know the story of Pandora and her weapon, right? What else is there...?
Loki: Something about Prometheus god ignore Zeus or something who spied on them for that man to give Pandora the box during the war back-! ….Wait!
Soon to remember something to even had Raiho in shock too.
Akechi: What is it, Loki?
Keiko: Do you remember something?
Loki: Prometheus loved Pandora, but he made the fire to have us go to war due to the Gegasite were created by him too, no wonder why Zeus punish the man before we sealed the beast and Pandora on that day was cursed too...! Somehow, Zeus never loved Pandora even though she loved hm more than Prometheus. He was kicked out as punishment too, and her family's spirits were set free but one body was missing, the soul was gone but not the body. Prometheus cursed himself of Pandora to get her pregnant to make Mia to then...create another human form of his doing...!
I think we're getting somewhere here.
Zen: Dr. Kano Guru's birth is unknown and age to start off the time Aika, Hitomi, Mia, Hans, and Ellen were found in the protect and a few months before the project testing could happen...After Pandora lived a long time to bring Mia in the world and her to move on with the curse to become the box, then Dr. Kano...
Makoto: Kano and Guru name...Hmmm...This might be a guess but their names have meanings too. Kano means - one's masculine power, capability.
Futaba: Oh, I know this one! And Guru is a Sanskrit term for a "mentor, guide, expert, or master" of certain knowledge or field.
Haru: So Prometheus is guide and mentor expert for a god. Different how he does things while Zeus does his job in the skies.
Yusuke: And Kano is one with masculine power. The name is...
All together now to have Raiho getting freaked out even more.
Akechi: Kano Guru's made up made by...another fallen god like Yaldabaoth was...! Meaning...
Keiko: No...Pandora's brother became Prometheus to then creating himself into his alias human form and father to also still family and lover of Pandora and daughter to niece Mia! No way!
Loki: Dr. Kano Guru is Prometheus outcast of a fallen god of his Shadow self...! He created the curse once the passing on the other Greek Gods became life, and he got kicked out and then...My God...literally, it makes freakin' sense now. All of it does. I should've known from the very beginning, but centuries later has finally hit me, my family were trying to prevent of everything to happen by Zeus's orders to keep the peace with chaos in return on the humans of Greek, and he made a mistake to have Prometheus get kicked out.
Yep, and there you have it. Dr. Kano Guru is really the Shadow self of Prometheus himself. The Case of the Greek Roman was a real case, Shuzo knew about Guru's true form up until the very end he was killed without getting the news out in time. That's why he was killed by the madman the most.
Morgana: Now this case is solved, all of it.
Ryuji: Man, that sucks...Wait! What did Joker mean Prometheus's Shadow and Pandora had a kid name Mia who's now Sophie? They're married couple to be...? How can she be his kid and niece?
Ah, he doesn't get it yet, huh? Well, Raiho soon did to feel sick just thinking about it and the others but not Ryuji yet...
Loki: Seriously...?
Ann: Ryuji!
Ryuji: What? I don't get it.
Morgana: Should we tell him?
They had no other choice.
Keiko: Should I?
Zen: Jus thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach...!
Akechi: No, I'll do it. Listen, Skull.
Ryuji: Huh? What's up.
Akechi: Well, those two were more than lovers...they were also related too.
Trying to think really hard on this one...
Ryuji: Husband wife with a daughter-! Wait...Related as in...?
Akechi: Having a child and their niece, they were really brother and sister. (3, 2, 1, and...)
Yep, and that makes me feel...a bit gross in some Anime series like these things, but this one was the worse of them all. And then, finally Ryuji got it.
Ryuji: …..! Brother and sister with a niece and daughter for Prometheus to still love Pandora in her brother's body of his Shadow self...! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
There it is. A bad taste, twist, and something so mess up!
Tayla: I know, it so gross! Ew! :(
Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Haru: He finally gets it.
Ryuji: JESUS! I didn't want to until now!
Zen: Sorry. If it makes you feel better, Raiho's puking out snowflakes on his end.
Poor little Persona, but he'll live to shake it all off in a bit.
Loki: That's not love, I call it savage. Disgusting!
Ryuji: Stop! Can't I just get my head back together again before I puke my brains out?! So nasty!
Akechi: Loki. Skull. I don't blame you two or Raiho one bit.
Futaba: All grossness aside, we can't let that stop us. He has the weapon so we need to stop it, Ichinose, her sister, and save the other four. You know—Aika, Hitomi, Hans, and Ellen. Bringing the gang back together again?
Ann: Come on, Skull, you'll live.
She has her boyfriend's back here.
Ryuji: Thanks, Panther.
Keiko: And look, as much as we finally solve everything to put together into once thanks to Wolf and Black Crow's smart detective skills, we can't let them and Sophie down. Even if the curse is opened, we'll find a way to stop it. We're down here, while the rest is way up there.
Getting back up, Keiko can fight now with her head feeling better again.
Akechi: I'm glad you're well, Joker.
Loki: Ah, hello? Minus the curse madness to soon spread out in this world and yours to be fused again...then what happens?
Keiko: Then we'll try something. The other four, the machine, and Ichinose comes first. Stopping the weapon and Dr. Guru and Sango will be next. Sadly, Sango's long gone, but not Ichinose to have a another chance. I know it.
Yeah, there's a chance to be very risky, but worth a shot – all of it.
Akechi: If Sango won't listen, then auntie Kuon will one way or another. And I'll see to it myself. Loki, we will save your family as well. Then whatever happens next, well, we'll stop it like we always do.
Fair enough, right? Raiho was in for him, Akechi, and Keiko to join in a big circle with Sophia's body still safe in sound to bring along with them. It does have Loki smiling in a good way.
Loki: Yeah, I guess so. Hahahahaha! I didn't have since fun in a while. In that case...don't let me down.
And soon enough, Loki was whole again and no longer a ghost. He was back to life again.
Keiko: Loki, you're alive! (Did his good deeds to prove everything else right meant something from being a ghost...? It does!)
I think of a leftover friend did the trick of the curse to have some good parts to it, Zeus probably but it was best for us fans to know about it than them. So wink on that one.
Akechi: I guess there's some god in you thanks to Joker changing your heart.
Loki: Really now? I guess maybe you're right for once, kid. I'm happy to be alive again! (Thanks, I got this one.)
A little thanks there. Nice! And the other Phantom Thieves join in too.
Morgana: Ah, what the hell? The more, the merrier, right?
Futaba: We came this far to do what's right.
Ryuji: EMMA's going to be stop with the curse and all that mess up shit!
Ann: With the four kids will soon be step free...somehow!
Yusuke: From one sister to be saved and the other to be stopped along with Dr. Guru too.
Makoto: You mean his Shadow self. And yes, we can't let the Gegasite queen and her children take over all world to changing it.
Haru: No more Jails once we take care of everything, then it's fine by me.
Zen: Goro, I never been proud of you than ever to be your real father figure and teacher. Yes! I'll save one of your aunts, even if it means given the bitchy one the handcuffs is so.
All joining in, Loki and Akechi were ready to be themselves and fight back this time.
Akechi: (Master...) Thank you, everyone. You're all great friends to me. So are you to love forever, Joker. (Auntie Ichinose, we will show you a true heart, you will be saved. Sango and Dr. Guru will be stopped to see the truth of EMMA, all of it. Hans. Ellen. Aika. Hitomi. We will save them all from this hellish nightmare without holding anything back to set them free, but not to kill them.)
Keiko: Of course, Black Crow, you're one of us and always will be. (Let's do what needs to be done then.) Come on, we need to climb up to get back to the top. Let's go. Team, let's move out! Sophie, hand in there because until you do wake up...this one's for you. Come on!
Raiho was ready with his weapon out to get going and Sophia on standby mode I guess.
Akechi, Zen, Ryuji, Ann, Morgana, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru: Right, Joker!
Loki: Pay back time after the war ended to be done this time and my people saved. From my step father and brother too...Hahahahaha! Watch out, Prometheus Shadow of Dr. Kano Guru, because here we come. God damn it's good to be back! And I love it...! Kid! Joker! Leave the way!
Off they go then, racing to the top but only for the weapon to be open of the queen and her children to have the new world change happens, to all worlds into one. Still and either way they will be stopped. In the next chapter/episode to happen with the sound of the Queen Gegasite to be growing in the end here to sound so monstrous and such, very scary really.
