Persona 5 Strikers – From Light and Dark

By Tayla Drago

Episode #67 - We're Taking all Your Hearts

Another thing to add...Loki and Pandora's child is related to them to be Mia and from the reaction clone of Sophia, as Necronomicon of the fake Dr. Kano Guru put a spell on was a trio mix half breed there. So yeah, Futaba will fill everyone else in who doesn't know about it yet. And so, for Reaper seen it all to take Necronomicon 'of the enemy's soul' away to set the real Kano Guru's free at long last for Futaba and Raiho frees the others 'while Ichinose captures Sango to lose her powers now to deal with her mean twin sister'; Keiko, Akechi, Hans, Ellen, Kaguya, Picaro, Loki, Ryuji, Ann, Morgana, Yusuke, Makoto, Haru, Sophia, and Zen all got out of there battles of the Gegasite Queen's army of Fake Shadows. With her gone and her gross army, it only leaves the Sentries and EMMA left. The real Gegasite beings to put a stop to Pandora's Box too, along with setting Pandora's spirit free from the strong curse. As well as Loki's family are all safe and alive. Good! While back with Sojiro to be getting a call after seeing everyone else was safe from harm.

Sojiro: (A phone call? At a time like this...?) Wait, Niijima?

Calling on Sojiro's cell phone, was Sae to have a word with him. Remember? She, Akane, and Miyako entered in the building near the other controls to the Tokyo Radio Tower; although trapped from the Sentries to try to get to them 'same with Sojiro', they needed to get the Phantom Thieves' names out there to save the world too.

[Sae: Mr. Sakura? Good. The call reached to you. Listen, there's something for you to do for us. I'm with Mr. Hasegawa's daughter and Ms. Kaburagi right now. A lot has been happening on our end, I take it it the same with you too?]

Sojiro: First bugs and now shadow puppets!

[Sae: So the bugs are gone. Look, we have a hacker to reach through the Phantom Thieves. She's setting it up while Kaburagi and me are putting on the power, but the problem is we need more hacking skills. Your daughter Futaba is the key to everything.]

Sojiro: I can't call her right now since for her and the other kids are dong their job in the other world. But...I can leave a message right away for Futaba to see it as soon as possible. How's that?

[Sae: Good enough. With one of the monsters gone, we have less to worry about now, but we still need to hurry. Keep your phone on the charger and stay on the phone with me until we get everything set up.]

Sojiro: Right...I'm not good a computer skills unless someone writes it done in order, I can at least do something to all my thanks to them. Leave it to me.

[Sae: Stay on guard too.]

With the two getting things set up, the others do the same thing on Sae's end.

Miyako: Get the program ready, Akane. All we do now is wait next.

Akane: Right, we got this.

It would seem it'll go well after all. And now, back with the Phantom Thieves.

Raiho: Hee-ho! Hee-ho!

Pointing out, Raiho and Futaba sees everyone getting out of there battles alive and well, no one died that easily to walk off the path of EMMA's powers too.

Ryuji: Whoa, we all got out!

Ann: Is everyone okay?

Keiko: Hey, how's everyone doing? (They must've had their own battles they face off too.)

All was well now.

Morgana: We're OK, Joker. Seems like we're all in one piece. Now we can catch our breath...

Futaba: Yes! You are all alive! And before you all panicked, here's what went down...

She tells them on what she and Raiho saw, Reaper, their battles, and what Loki said to stopping Dr. Guru in the end.

Loki: So, you hacker and the snowman stopped and talk some sense into the Reaper. Not bad...I stopped the doc and save my family. They're all alive and well. We'll get to them once we stop EMMA next and the curse.

Zen: You stopped Dr. Kano Guru?

Sophia: He's not human anymore, remember? While each of us stopped other Fake Shadows.

Ryuji: For real?! Well, I'm sure glad we're not dead.

Ann: So with the power bug Queen Gegasite gone and her gross bug army...

Yusuke: I think we've weaken the real one with the curse.

Makoto: The army of Sentries and EMMA are the only ones remaining.

Haru: I'm so happy to hear. But what about Ichinose-San's twin sister?

Yeah, about her...Some good news after another to have some of the things done.

Akechi: My aunt stopped her, she saved us from the original clone of the Gegasite Queen. I think she won't be a threat anymore. (Thank you, Aunty Kuon.)

Zen: Are you going to be well, Black Mask?

Akechi: I am now, Wolf, thank you.

Holding hands with Keiko, for her and Akechi's love was still strong.

Keiko: What's good is the four kids are now free from their worse enemy of all, and their clones are no more. As well as Loki was in love to have a child, but... (It must be hard to lose the ones you love.)

And still a curse to be from half of Necronomicon and Loki from who Pandora gave birth too.

Loki: The one thing I need to do now is the destroy the box. By closing it from Pandora's true love is the key, and then opening it up on the one who uses it for evil can it be destroyed. Trust me, it's the only way.

So true, it's their only way to stay alive.

Ryuji: Oh...So a aunt and uncle, but the aunt was in love with Black Mask's Persona. Nice, but still f' up at the same time.

He was just saying, as well as the four children were very grateful on what the Phantom Thieves have done for their four all day today.

Picaro: Ha! It's about time too! At least we've done it together.

Kaguya: From saving our lives from mind control too, we can fight back.

Bowing down and feeling pleased, the four kids are now free from Persona-Users and Personas of their own.

Hans: Ah, what great beauty. Freedom and to owe a favor in return. How sweet is this?

Ellen: Not as sweet as having friends and the cute Morgana bye your side. Hugs!

Futaba: And they're back to normal now.

She was doing it to Morgana again to make Ellen let go of him.

Morgana: Let go!

Ellen: What? I can't help but to find you cute.

Hans: That's my sister.

Morgana: I'm handsome, not cute! Geeze...Hey, everyone-take a look where we just came from.

Not just from escaping from EMMA's powers, but seeing it from behind was something glowing. Everyone's Desires maybe?

Akechi: What in the world?

Yusuke: What on earth is that?

Makoto: Don't tell me that's all...

Morgana: Yep, that's a Desire all right.

Much bigger than every it was for what they've seen so far.

Picaro: Friggin' huge!

Futaba: It's enormous! We haven't seen any that even come close to this...

And from the power of Pandora's Box and curse is very powerful for this AI false god.

Kaguya: From EMMA's and the curse item it would seem.

Zen: Since that thing's size is based on how many hearts EMMA's changed so far, we've got our work cut out for us.

Ryuji: So, what do we do? Should we charge in again?

After what they've done and had to do, not twice they will not fall for this one.

Morgana: No, that most likely would get us nowhere-remember these voices we heard other than fighting for our lives?

Keiko: We all did before we had to fight.

Ann: They all sounded so miserable...

Yusuke: From what I heard, they want to protect EMMA.

Loki: It's the curse's doing.

All of this for Loki really did find true love and had a child too, but the curse ruined everything.

Morgana: Right. The Desire of the masses is most likely guarding EMMA.

Sophia: Mona's right. The Desire is currently hiding the path to EMMA from us. If we return now, we'll only get lost again.

Says the owner of the Pandora's Box herself. Sophia can use it to stop EMMA, but not to defeat alone.

Futaba: Even Raiho or I wasn't able to track down everyone...I don't think I'll be able to navigate in there.

Ann: But without a route to EMMA, how are we going to save the masses?

Hans: I wish I knew more...

Thinking really hard, well trying to anyways...This was hard to come up with something good, until Haru thought of something big.

Haru: Say...If that's a Desire, then wouldn't it materialize for us if we sent out a calling card?

Keiko and Akechi: A calling card to EMMA?

Can that really work on her?

Ryuji: Ooh, good point! If we can make it all one solid thing, it can't hide the path anymore!

Morgana: So the plan's to send EMMA a calling card...What do you think, Joker?

Keiko: I like the sound of it. But...I don't have a clue on how to do it. Sorry...

Akechi: It's fine, I'm having some trouble thinking too.

The question was this, how can they send the calling card to EMMA to see it to get everyone's Desires out? Anyone's guesses here?

Futaba: Yeah, even I can't say whether or not a calling card would work on an AI...

Ellen: Back to old drawing board then? Crap.

Makoto: I admit that's a real concern, considering it's grown as strong a god.

Soon enough, Zen had a plan in mind. A good one at that to have some advice.

Zen: Hey, Joker-think you could reach Ichinose from here? We should get the creator's take on this.

Not a bad idea to have something in mind there, just in case.

Keiko: Good idea, Wolf.

Akechi: I'll talk to her too if I have to.

Then it was all settled.

Sophia: Yes, let's call her.

And so, they do to let Ichinose know about their plan.

Zen: ...And that's the plan. So, how's it sound to the EMMA expert?

Akechi: If there's anything you know of, then please tell us.

She believes it can be done, but not the original way they have been doing it so far, EMMA was way different than the other victims were.

[Ichinose: I'm fairly certain it won't have any affect. EMMA constantly tests hypothetical outcomes to determine the best source of action. Nothing is ignored or left to chance in her process. She's also incapable of being confused or upset beyond reason.]

So it could be a no go for them.

Kaguya: An AI like EMMA will be hard to do after all.

Ryuji: But, we're talkin' about a calling card-ain't that at least a little upsetting?

So no weakness on her at all? Not good.

[Ichinose: EMMA has been observing you all this time. She's well aware of calling cards and their function.]

Picaro: Then since enemy's way too god.

Morgana: So the lack of surprise at a calling card keeps us from getting the change in cognition we need.

This was really bad the more plans to think of and to not work at all.

Zen: The more we talk about it, the more useless a calling card sounds in this situation...

Haru: But, without one...!

It will not work at all.

Yusuke: Yes-without one, we won't be able to progress. As long as the people feel they need EMMA, we have no way of eliminating the fog.

Or get trapped and/or fighting alone again.

Ryuji: Ngh...What the hell? Everyone gatherin' around this big fake god like a buncha idiots...What kinda life is that?!

Sophia: Skull...

All was lost, well almost...Until Morgana thought of something else to work out even better than some regular plan.

Morgana: Actually, wait! Isn't that odd? Why ARE the Desires all gathering here?

Loki: Hmmm...Ha! Good point, cat.

A bit lost on what Morgana was getting at.

Ann: Uh, what's weird about that?

Keiko: I'm starting to understand what it is... (I think Morgana's on to something big.) Where's the Monarch?

Akechi: Yes, I see...Where's the cage? And who brought them here?

All good questions, with some answers for all three to ask about.

Loki: The cage itself.

Morgana: Yeah, that! Amongst the rest. There's no cage here. And, nobody's carrying the Desires into it. The cage for the Desires, the Shadows that take them there...All these things we've seen in past Jails are missing here.

Notice anything odd about all of this or what?

Sophia: That is likely due to the difference in will between the Desires' owners.

Akechi: With less of the cage and no Monarch of it...

Keiko: EMMA's much different too.

And there's your answers to almost leave Raiho in shock.

Haru: How so, Sophie?

Sophia: In each Jail this, Desires were forcefully seized by a Monarch. In contrast, EMMA does not seize any Desires. They are instead offered willingly by their owners.

That's it! And more power added in by Pandora's Box too.

Hans: An AI of a False God like EMMA, plus Pandora's Box item...

Ellen: Ah! It equals to more power to brain wash others to allow their Desires to be taken out!

And what's Ichinose's take on all of this?

[Ichinose: Right-they're begging their *god* EMMA to save them. They're giving up their precious Desires willingly.]

Akechi: And the more they give in, the powerful the curse and EMMA becomes.

Loki: Not only that, but Pandora's soul hasn't lay to rest yet. The item must be destroyed in order to set her soul free.

Keiko: Because you once loved her, right Loki?

Loki: You already know the answer.

All of this to do something big and how all of this was done.

Zen: That's why they all stick to EMMA despite the lack of a cage.

Haru: The people just surrendered their own Desires? That's so...

Keiko: It's upsetting, we know. They were force to by EMMA's doing.

But there's a catch on this whole thing...

[Ichinose: However, EMMA still doesn't consider those to be her own. All she's doing is granting the true Desire of the masses. Perhaps that's why there's no birdcage to contain the Desires? Because she never actually wanted theirs?]

Makoto: That would explain why they haven't taken any concrete form.

Hans: No, it just something to have more power combined.

It makes sense, from some power to change things can have a big backfire to it.

[Ichinose: The will of the masses pushed EMMA to godlike statue-the Desire you've soon is proof enough.]

Ellen: If we don't set it free some how, then we can kiss this world and ours goodbye.

As confusing all of this was, Ann was finally getting the picture with another idea in mind.

Ann: Waiiit...Doesn't that mean we just have to get everyone to remember why their Desires were important to them?

Keiko: You mean...Seeing it for themselves if us talking to them as proof?

Also more confusing, it could work.

Akechi: Remembering their own Desires...

Morgana: Yeah that's it! There's our Panther for ya!

Ryuji: And my hot babe too!

Ann: Huh?!

Loved Ryuji's words there for Ann and Morgana was happy, she said something of a good idea to do.

Morgana: We just have to make them remember! They all cared about something at some point, right?

Picaro: It's themselves, and not just EMMA. Total brainwashed.

Haru: And if we remind them of that, the Desires will regain their form!

And this one will be a bit easier for them to do, some part were.

Kaguya: I think this could work if we put everything together into one goal.

Yusuke: Luckily, there's no cage in our way this time. Returning the Desires to the rightful owners should be one step quicker for us.

Morgana: Okay, looks like we know who's getting our calling card now.

Who will be getting their calling card this time...?

Keiko: The masses.

Akechi: It's time we wake everyone out of the curse and spell for good.

It has to be done for Raiho was ready more than anything now.

Hans and Ellen: OK! Let's do it!

Picaro and Kaguya: All right! We'll be ready!

Ryuji: Awesome, let's do it! Get ready for our callin' cards, people!

Loki: Then you're going to need my help on this one, thieves.

For the Persona-User and Persona didn't mind at all.

Akechi: I understand, Loki. For your family and us, do what needs to be done. We're with you.

Keiko: Likewise.

Final decision there, they needed to know on how to send it to everyone next.

Makoto: Next, we should work out our delivery method. We have to find a way to reach every person under EMMA's control or this won't work.

Yusuke: I'm not sure the usual methods will work here. It even seemed like our voices weren't reaching them.

A lot more to do and think about on how to do it.

Haru: Yeah, they were all just absorbed in their phones...

Morgana: What do you think, Joker?

Akechi: Hmm...I don't think using EMMA or a TV won't do us any good.

Thinking a bit harder...

Keiko: Ah, I think we should use the radio...by hacking into EMMA herself.

Ann: Can we though?

It wouldn't hurt to try it out.

Futaba: I don't see any other way. I'm gonna have to hack EMMA.

Ryuji: Can you actually do that?

Well, Futaba/Oracle has the skills to do it in any other way.

Futaba: Any other day, I'd say it's impossible. Last time I looked into it, the security protocols around EMMA were insane. But I've got to give it a shot-otherwise, we know what happens with the world...

Loki: You mean to all worlds...

Then there was only one place to look into.

[Ichinose: I recommend tracking down EMMA's server room. It's somewhere within Tokyo Radio Tower. That'll be your best at getting into EMMA-hacking into her from the inside is much easier than trying to do it from the outside.]

Zen: All right, we've finally got a working game plan.

The plan goes with something like this...

Morgana: Yeah, first we hack into EMMA...

Yusuke: Then, we send out out calling card to the brainwashed masses!

Ryuji: We're countin' on ya, Oracle!

But getting into it first before hacking through won't be so easy to get done with first. As much as she was shy, Futaba will get the job done.

Futaba: Uh, r-right!

[Ichinose: ...]

Hanging up now, but also weird. Huh? What was on Ichinose's mind? For her sister to be mess up, either way for Akechi to notice first.

Morgana: Now that we've got a strategy, we should move out. We don't have much time! Let's move out!

Leaving the room to go take care of the first part of the plan.

Keiko: Black Crow, no worries. We can do this.

Akechi: Yes, my aunt will be fine while we got a job to do.

It was time to move out now 'leaving Ichinose to keep Sango all tied up for she had something on her mind to do on her own first before handling her sister next.

Ichinose: (Right, I get it now.)

For Keiko/Joker, Akechi/Black Crow, Morgana/Mona, Ryuji/Skull, Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, Makoto/Queen, Futaba/Oracle, Haru/Noir, Sophia/Sophie, Zen/Wolf, Hans, Ellen, Kaguya, Picaro, Loki, and Raiho return from the hallways to get to back outside of the room to enter in the other room of the door that was there. Must be the main control room then. Hearing more people who are trapped and mind controlled all over in the Hall of Contracts thing...

"Please...Please save us..."

"God...Please save us all..."

See? Not right at all. Returning back outside the Tree of Surrender having the room to be really nearby.

Yusuke: I recall the server room being around here.

Akechi: It's back there behind the corner.

That it was to be real close.

Zen: But man, hacking EMMA to send out a calling card? Is that really possible?

Futaba: It better be! I mean, it definitely is! Otherwise, our whole world's done for! Time to start hacking! Y'guys ready?

More than anything for the Phantom Thieves and friends to do their parts, even Raiho too.

Keiko: Definitely.

Futaba: All right, hacking in! Make sure you back me up!

Get ready for more Fake Shadows to stop them.

Akechi: Here we go then.

Futaba: Okay, I'm going in! Watch my back, everyone!

From the helicopter ones, guards, machine dogs of Sentries, and other Fake Shadows trying to stop Futaba to have her Persona keep on defense mode—the rest get to work. From the twin sisters of gravity and light water combined; along with Raiho ice and weapon hitting, Loki's berserk powers, as well as Hans and Ellen's powers of ESP and dark powers did the trick. And for the rest to use their special moves too. From Showtime moves...

Ryuji: Batter up!

Yusuke: Go down and fall!

Morgana: Transforming and charge!

Akechi: Good-bye, bulls eye!

With Keiko using her Arsene Persona or other ones to give her a boost of any element in battle.

Keiko: It's show time!

Ann: Blast 'em away!

Haru: Let us dance!

Makoto: Burn rubber and eat my dust!

Sophia: Read aim fire!

Zen: Earth Quake Boom!

Picaro and Kaguya: Light combined with gravity!

Keep it up!

Loki: Let's give them more hell!

Hans: No problems here!

Ellen: Yeah, we got this!

And the rest was their own All-Out Attacks too.

Keiko: It is Done!

Akechi: Behold my Power!

Ryuji: Laters!

Ann: See ya!

Morgana: The End!

Yusuke: A Bitter Farewell!

Makoto: Fists of Justice!

Haru: This is your End!

Sophia: Say good-bye!

Zen: And that's that!

Picaro and Kaguya: Double the power!

Finally, Futaba opens the door to get inside the room now with all the enemies now defeated.

Futaba: Nicely done, you guys!

Keiko: Good work, Oracle! Let's get inside.

Entering in the room, all of the computer things was still connected from EMMA's power, Pandora's Box, other spells, and machines were still working well and less affected from other things. While back in the real world...

Akane: I got it! Makoto Niijima left me her phone number and others...Futaba Sakura's too! I'll hack into the laptop.

Miyako: Then leave the rest to me.

Sae: Sojiro, here it comes.

Leaving Sojiro to do the rest on his spare laptop that Futaba made for him' how nice', he tries to have her hack into the rest and to Akane to do the rest of the work.

Sojiro: And now we just wait. This has to work.

Let's hope it does work well, all of this is on the line here. And now back to the Tree of Knowledge...

Futaba: Okay...This room's Shadowless.

Keiko: I sense less danger here now.

Even Raiho double checks around the room real quick.

Akechi: We're all good to go then.

Futaba: I'm about to start hacking into EMMA. This is going to take some time.

Just plenty to save everyone and stop the curse with EMMA once and for all.

Keiko: We're counting on you, Oracle. You can do it.

Akechi: Will you be all right?

Futaba: I'll be fine. Everything's on the line this time. I'm gonna bust my buns harder than ever with this.

All good then with backup by Futaba's side.

Ellen: In other words, you got this.

Morgana: We've got your back, Oracle. You're our only hope now!

Doing so with some sign of Miyako, Sae, Sojiro, and Akane helping them out too.

Makoto: Akane-Chan? Sis?

Akechi: You mean Sae-san?

Zen: And Kaburagi too! What are they doing?

Futaba: And Sojiro too...I think they're backing us up.

All this was good news then.

Loki: Either help from anyone or anything will be great.

Take it or leave it, this one's a big sign...Futaba gets to work while the other four back them up, with some issues going on. Having trouble getting through wasn't good at all.

Hans: Is it working?

Doesn't seem like it to have Raiho to worry a bit more.

Makoto: How's it going?

Futaba: ...

Haru: She seems so focused...

Not going well to go through anything yet.

Futaba: Dammit! I almost got it...I've found an opening thanks to the back up, but the security protocol refreshes too quickly. This thing's processing speeds are off the charts.

Ann: So, not too well?

Futaba: Dammit! If only I was a little better...

No luck? Then all hope is lost?

Ryuji: Oracle...

Yusuke: It's frustrating that we can't lend any assistance...

That's when all hope isn't lost for someone enters in the room next.

Picaro: Hey! Who goes there?!

Ichinose: Hey there...Could I maybe lend a hand?

Kaguya: It's Kuon Ichinose. It's okay.

Akechi: Aunty?

Oh right, she was the maker of EMMA to do something good skills like Futaba has. All hope isn't lost yet.

Morgana: Ichinose...

Makoto: How did you get here?

Ryuji: Didn't you run into any Shadows on the way?

Lucky for EMMA to see Ichinose ally and doesn't know of changing on her own, and Sango was all tied up.

Ichinose: Looks like I still register as EMMA's ally to them...They acted like I wasn't even there. And don't worry about Sango, she's hanging around for me to deal with her Shadow self in a bit. The real self is back in the real world with Owada for having this much power, she weak now.

Ann But, still...!

Yusuke: That was very reckless.

Well she did stop the Gegasite Shadow form from Sango and such, so yeah.

Akechi: Well, she did save us. Come on, guys, Aunty means well.

Loki: Such a reckless move, but not bad lady.

So she was trust worthy more than anything now.

Ichinose: Joker. Black Crow. Would you mind if I helped out?

Keiko: Can you pull it off?

Akechi: And if so, we're counting on you.

Ichinose: Thank you.

And she was going to aid Futaba.

Futaba: All right!

Hans: For one of the twin sisters, I'm glad you were so kind to us.

Ellen: Without you around, we would've not be alive today.

Picaro and Kaguya: Thank you for everything.

Before starting things off, Ichinose had somethings to say to everyone.

Ichinose: I'm glad I helped you all. My sister was mean, but not me and not anymore. Also Sophie, I went and checked the people outside the tower before coming here...Now I know what a real human doll looks like. I knew by stopping Dr. Kano's work, it'll stop some of the battle things so far.

Sophia: Ichinose...

She get everything now to learn about the real Pandora's Box story.

Futaba: We can talk it over later! Hurry!

Ichinose: Right. Got it.

It was time for the two hackers of computers to get to work, the other four in the real world get their parts taken care of too.

Sojiro, Akane, Sae, and Miyako: Here we go!

Hacking into from different parts of the two fused worlds...now!

Yusuke: So, the hacker once feared by the entire world has teamed up with a super-genius AI researcher...

Akechi: However we are doing all of this, the Sae-san, boss, Akane, and Kaburagi are doing very well. (Aunty's amazing. The others will be thank later on too.)

Ryuji: Talk about one helluva turnabout!

From one backup and the main workers doing their parts too.

Sophia: You've got it, Futaba. You've got it, Ichinose.

Futaba and Ichinose: Okay! Let's get to work!

Now this is team work.

Keiko: (Futaba and Ichinose can do this. Mr. Sakura can do this. Akane. Sae. You two please make this message happen, don't give up. Same thing with you too, Ms. Kaburagi, whoever you are. Thank you.)

Time for the plan to get through both the real world and the Metaverse too. Futaba and Ichinose hack away, same for Sojiro to set the other part up...leaving Miyako to hack through the rest with Akane adding sound and screen set up, while Sae keeps Sojiro on the phone for a bit longer.

Sae: Do it.

Miyako: We're live!

Sojiro: Go for it!

And hurry before the Sentries break into the building and others to hurt the other humans...Soon, Akane speaks up on her next live streaming show.

[Akane: Attention, all you Phantom Thieves fans! Phan-freak out announces of an emergency! Akane Hasegawa speaking for this special stream show announcement! Listen to my voice! Your Desires from other world to have your heart change from Calling Cards, it's time to wake up! You're all being used by EMMA just like I was, but I was saved thanks to the Phantom Thieves! Remember them? EMMA's doing something bad to have some monsters attack our world and the other one to become one in whole, that's no life to live in at all or become zombies! My Dad, my brother, and their friends are stopping the real bad guys, the killer of my mother, and giving all of us courage to keep on fighting. Because we have a heart and the desires we can control, because we'll lose to this monster if we don't. So come on, people! Just wake up already! Please!]

Hearing those words out loud, this has to work while the rest gets hacked in while Raiho kept on cheering for luck.

Akechi: I hope it worked.

Keiko: Good job, Akane.

Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Haru, Morgana, Hans, and Ellen: Good job!

Loki, Kaguya, and Picaro: Yes!

Zen: That's my daughter.

Futaba: Say it like it is, Akane! Tell it like it is!

Ichinose: Any help to reach through, works for me.

Well, the first part helped out allowing for this part to take over next for everyone to see and hear more besides Akane's words combined. With everyone staring their phones of EMMA's logo on it and still brainwashed, that's when the hacking works to hear Akane's voice to seeing the Phantom Thieves logo to pop out all over. Time to send out the message within words next.

Akechi: Special delivery. From all of us to all of you.

Picaro: Testing! One! Two-!

Kaguya: I think it's working, sister.

I think some of them were coming out of the spell. It's working!

Haru: Attention.

Futaba: You know the logo by now, right?

Makoto: We are the Phantom Thieves.

Haru: And we've got a big announcement for everybody.

From the poster saying 'Take your heart.' and a some avatar of Raiho Jack Frost dancing too.

Raiho: Hee-ho!

Ann: Our target this time is you.

That's got their attention to listen and watch it all.

Hans: So keep your eyes and ears on the phone.

Ellen: Because this Calling Card goes out to everyone watching.

Say it like it is then.

Yusuke: You've all been made sheep. The mechanical god and her curse has usurped what self you had, and you let it happen.

Zen: Do you really want someone telling you what your own life is about.

Sophia: All of you did anything it takes to survive. But you make your own choices to get there.

Loki: Stop deciding on something to make up your minds an come to your senses already!

Morgana: That's why we're here, we're going to snap you out of this.

And with back up saying so too.

Ryuji: You don't know this dumb god your desires.

Keiko: The Phantom Thieves are taking them back!

From seeing and hearing it all to come to their senses.

"Phantom Thieves...?"

"Desires?"

"Huh?"

"What's happening?"

Soon the light from EMMA losing the rest of the power for the other Fake Shadows and Gegasite Sentries go away for Sae, Miyako, Akane, and Sojiro to see all of it. As well as EMMA gets weak but the curse to still work for her power only; at least the Desires of heart gems come out to be set free from other humans to be normal again. So far, but there are others to be floating around. Then a song was heard for others to hear the Phantom Thieves fighting back, more supporters. From the Hunger Games movies, of this song - The Hanging Tree. Song by James Newton Howard. From them, the others, and the people in this story so far to sing.

Keiko 'singing': Are you, are you comin' to the tree?

Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Akechi 'singing': Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where dead man called out for his love to flee?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Ryuji, Yusuke, Morgana, and Zen 'singing: Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where I told you to run so we'd both be free?

Ann, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, and Sophia 'singing': Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Kaguya, Picaro, and Loki 'singing': Where necklace of hope, side by side with me?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

Hans, Ellen, and Ichinose 'singing': If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Akane 'singing': Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free?

Sae 'singing': Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

Miyako 'singing': If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Sojiro 'singing': Are you, are you comin' to the tree?

Lava 'singing': Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Alice, Ango, Mariko, Konoe, Personas, Shadows, and humans 'singing': Are you, are you comin' to the tree

Where the dead man called out for his love to flee?

Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be

If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

Everyone sing there in all worlds to join in and such, cool huh? With Sango and Owada hearing all of this on their ends 'as well as the four people of their own Monarch Jails once' Alice, Ango, Mariko, and Konoe; same with Lava, and the other four too. Same with Loki's people join in as well and other Personas did the same thing. This had to work somehow.

Sojiro: Call me when it's over, got it?

Sae: Will do.

Hanging up now to still hide just in case and wait for everything else now.

Miyako: Hasegawa...Akechi-san...don't screw this one up.

Akane: Good luck, Phantom Thieves.

Now back with the Phantom Thieves after doing their parts. It seems to go well so far, let just hope the they can now do the rest to stop the invasion of the Gegasite army, it was time to take out the queen the the curse weapon.

Loki: So did it work?

Raiho dances with joy, it did work out well.

Raiho: Hee-ho! Hee-ho!

Morgana: Raiho's right! I scoped out the Ark-it's totally exposed now!

Akechi: From all of us singing into one big group in other worlds, I did a fine job.

Keiko: So far we have, yes.

Futaba: Awesome! Mission complete!

And it was more thanks to Miyako, Sae, Sojiro, and Akane to aid both Futaba and Ichinose on this one.

Yusuke: Now we can move on. Let's destroy the Ark and return these Desires to their rightful owners.

Loki: More like getting the rest of them left out.

Close enough to get it all done.

Picaro: Don't forget about destroying the curse, stopping EMMA, and freeing Pandora's spirit.

Kaguya: As well as seeing Loki's people return to him safely.

And that's what all of them are going to do.

Ryuji: Yeah!

Hans: Of course.

Ellen: You got it!

They were all in on this one.

Sophia: Thank you, Ichinose.

Ichinose: I should be the one thanking you. Anyway, I'm just glad I could help. All I can do is root for you from here on, though. I'll deal with my sister, she's finish. Be careful out there.

Akechi: Then we leave the defeat of Sango to you, in the name of justice.

Zen: Keep her tie up for us.

I think she can handle someone like her alone.

Ichinose: I promise, she needs to go to jail alive if you want Owada arrested next. At this point now, Sango's not my sister anymore.

Sophia: Ichinose...

Akechi: It'll be okay, Aunty. I promise.

Good friends and nephew mean well.

Ichinose: I know. I'm stronger than I ever was before to change, thanks to all of you.

Futaba: Don't worry, we'll clean this all up in one fell swoop! Even Black Crow knows of it.

Loki: Same. Since the kid and I are...kind of the same.

All was good then for the Phantom Thieves to handle the rest.

Makoto: Right. We promise we'll shut EMMA down and come back safe.

Yusuke: After all, we've yet to hold the closing celebration for our trip.

Ann: Good point! I can't wait until we get to check out the pictures we took together!

Haru: *giggle* We'll need quite a few snacks. We can't forget the Leblanc coffee either.

Morgana: And I demand sushi! The premium stuff, too!

A celebration to do once they go back home first and save the world. One thing at a time.

Hans: We would like to join in with all of you.

Kaguya: Yes. No matter where we are...

Picaro: Or what we all are...

Ellen: We are all part of the Phantom Thieves. Even if we don't have code names for Brother and me.

All is good to be young still of kids and adults.

Zen: Aren't you guys nervous at all...? Ha, I guess it's just how you roll, huh?

Akechi: We are to change for the better, Wolf.

Ryuji: All right! Let's kick this final mission's ass!

With one last thing to say...

Akechi: Care to do the honors, Joker?

Keiko: OK...Umm...It's showtime! So let's do this!

All good to go now.

Keiko, Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sophia, Zen, Loki, Kaguya, Picaro, Hans, and Ellen: Team, let's move out!

Raiho: Hee-ho!

Taking off now and fully ready back in the Hall of Contracts again in the Tree of Knowledge, to take out EMMA and Pandora's Box for good. Also freeing the spirit of the girl. While Ichinose deals with Sango on her own...

Ichinose: Now, sister, let's talk...

She can't do anything now anymore. Ha! Off Keiko/Joker, Akechi/Black Crow, Morgana/Mona, Ryuji/Skulls, Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, Makoto/Queen, Futaba/Oracle, Haru/Noir, Sophia/Sophie, Zen/Wolf, Raiho, Loki, Hans, Picaro, Ellen, and Ellen to take out the main villain. With the Gegasite armies of Fake Shadows and Sentries now gone, the Queen Gegasite was the last one standing. With everyone hoping for the Phantom Thieves to win this for others support and saved 'so far', this was it to have the AI form of Mia and the powers of Pandora's Box of her own to end the curse for good. In the next chapter/episode, see how all of this plays out. And I do mean all of it. With Akane, Sojiro, Sae, and Miyako did their parts and Ichinose's too, here comes Lava...With lots of Jack Frosts, Black Frosts, and King Frosts armies heading the Phantom Thieves' way, as back up!
